Agatha Christie Seven Dials

“Battle Commences”

So the middle episode in the three episode program found things a bit dark. It sure looked like Jimmy had been killed off, but I really question that. This Jimmy character makes me very suspicious.

When Lady Eileen was in that room with the secret society, peeking through the door, there were only six people in their black robes. I suspect that there was one missing and that person was Jimmy. Plus, there was a black man in the robes too, which I suspect is Dr. Cyril Matip, the creator of this mysterious formula that is at the heart of everything going on.

Martin Freeman’s Superintendent Battle is a bit of a jerk, not being helpful at all. However, that makes sense since Lady Eileen is an amateur detective.

Mia McKenna Bruce makes a fine lead character and I do enjoy her presences on screen and her delivery of the dialogue. I would like to have from from both Martin Freeman and Helena Bonham Carter as both characters are snuggly placed in the background.

Next week’s episode will wrap up the show and I am not sure how it can be finished off with any sort of satisfaction after the first two episodes and the reveals that have not been given.
