stevesmith-80860 This show was very well done and very interesting. The acting and writing were great. The premise of the story was not the most original or most intresting but, the writing and acting were both superb and really carried this show. 8/10

LordMaxentius I stumbled upon the book 'And Then There Were None' quite by accident, and having just finished reading 'Hercule Poirot's Christmas', I was interested in seeing how good Agatha Christie's 'masterpiece' was. The cover of the edition I bought advertised this TV series, and after I had finished what was truly a brilliant book, I was curious to see how well its visual counterpart held up.Having looked at the cast beforehand, I knew none of them except for Charles Dance, whom I knew to be a good actor and who seemed perfect in the role of the cunning Justice Wargrave. I wouldn't say I was worried about how well the other actors would hold up next to someone as good as him, but I did not think they would be as good as him. However, I am glad to say that I was wrong.Every single one of the cast delivered a stand-out performance. Although the final five survivors (Armstrong, Blore, Lombard, Claythorne and the judge himself) were definitely the best, the others were also really good and brought their respective characters to life extremely well. The setting is great, with an island quite akin to what I imagined when I was reading the book, and the cinematography is beautiful and sets the scene perfectly. The score, although a minuscule part of the whole, is also very good.Obviously when it comes to film or TV series versions of books, details are always changed or added for convenience, and I was a bit worried that the writers of the show might change details of plot devices and mess the whole thing up (as has already been the case with shows like Game of Thrones). But not only were the changes subtle and did nothing to negate the overall plot, I actually liked some of them(!). The idea to have the judge walk in on Vera at the last second and deliver a chilling monologue was surprisingly good, and I like it just as much as the book ending. Overall, this was a brilliant visual re-telling of what is surely one of the greatest mystery novels of all time. The cast are excellent, the cinematography and setting is perfect and the subtle plot changes do nothing but add to this masterpiece of film.10/10

Morris Ma It is never easy to transform Agatha's work to a film or video. "And then there were none" is the best among all of them, at least in my opinion. It is also the top 3 best crime novel of all time. Hence it makes even harder to put it on screen. It is coincident that I am re-reading the book while I walked into this series. So I would be able to make a parallel comparison. Fair enough to say that this series retain all the main stories of characters. In details there are some modification. For a reader of the book, it is a little bit strange while watching something that are not what it supposed to be exactly. As always, the pace of the development is quite slow in general. Maybe the director wants to create an atmosphere, but doesn't work for me. If they make it into 2 episodes, maybe it would be better.

matthijsalexander Let me not say too much, but just 'wow'! Not WOW with capitals, but a modest wow.I really enjoyed watching this. The characters are all interesting, the murder mystery concept scripted very well, the twist not obvious at all, but only very sharp and detail oriented persons may figure it out. The back stories provide insight in the characters which slowly reveals the whole. This mini-series has it all. Watch, but above all.... Binching required!One of those series that is best watched with the girlfriend or wife. (I have to fill up the 10 lines minimum)
