Ordeal By Innocence (Amazon) – BBC interprets another literary classic of Agatha Christie’s with this limited series starring a slew of U.K. talents including Bill Nighy, Eleanor Tomlinson, and Matthew Goode. The premise stays fairly true to the novel: a wealthy matriarch is murdered, her troubled son is blamed, and then the hunt for the real killer ensues. But this adaptation includes a few jarring changes: Harsher language, the identity of the killer, and the fate the killer ultimately suffers, so book purists, beware.
