nicollemelansonpowell The Good: the sets, the clothes, the cars, the cinematography, the fun moments The Bad: poor interpretation of Tommy, poor adaptation of post-war 20s to cold war 50s. The Ugly: no dramatic integrity - impossible juxtaposition of fun-loving adventure chasing, and brutal murder. Tuppence cannot lightly enjoy chasing down criminals under the threat to life and limb of her child and her husband - it does not make sense. The original Tommy and Tuppence series (books and BBC) present a light-hearted version of adventure and this is the only one that makes sense for them. We watched the first story, The Secret Adversary (3 episodes), but will not be watching "N or M" because of our disappointment. However, I will restate that visually it is very stimulating and satisfying - beautiful sets, scenery and atmospheric camera work.

LisaDS Very entertaining series, full of suspense and fun… my friends, family and I do hope it will be continued. We find that both Jessica Raine and David Walliams are ideal for their respective roles, and that they interpret their relation wife-husband with absolute brio! Tuppence is always sparkling with energy, wit and charm, and Tommy is like a big teddy bear: warm, cuddly, devoted, reliable, reassuring, caring and courageous… exactly as in A. Christie's book. Both actors are an ideally suited couple on screen and they play their parts perfectly, with a lot of subtlety… it is a real pleasure to watch them face new adventures. Very well shot. The clothing, the furniture, cars... all is very well chosen and authentic enough to make the viewer happy. Good idea of splitting one novel into two parts. Short – thank you, BBC! for this unforgettable enjoyment. We are impatiently awaiting the continuation of Partner's in Crime.

berlyb If you are a fan of the wonderful books or the great series from the 1980's, DO NOT WATCH THIS GARBAGE!! Like so many modern programs, this is a shallow, hollow copy of the original. To think that BBC programming has sunk this low is a sad statement concerning the times we live in. Once upon a time, British television was a brilliant light in the darkness of uninspired, moronic American programming, but sadly this is no longer the case. In my opinion, this uninspired trash is on par with the worst junk that Hollywood has to offer. Tuppence is no longer an intelligent, sweet, loving heroine. She has now become annoying, snide, arrogant, and completely unlovable. However, what irritated me the most was the portrayal of Tommy as some kind of moronic, Homer Simpson type character. Disgraceful!!

Paul Evans Only one Series, comprising two 3 part stories, firstly we had The Secret Adversary, and secondly we had N or M.I thought they were rather fun productions, trouble is they seriously didn't feel like Agatha Christie, I thought the first part of The Secret Adversary was excellent, but after that it went downhill a little bit.Jessica Raine was really well cast, she looked excellent in the part, fitting of the period. I think Walliams was the main issue for the failing, for anyone that has read the novels he just wasn't Tommy. Far from it, he was out of character.Really great production values, they looked excellent, even though the time frame had been altered.I don't think the series was given enough mileage, who knows, if it had continued maybe there would have been an improvement. There were only 5 Partners in Crime novels, the best one I think being 'by the Pricking of my thumbs' shame it won't be made.
