Ten strangers, drawn away from their normal lives to an isolated rock off the Devon coast. But as the mismatched group waits for the arrival of the hosts -- the improbably named Mr. and Mrs. U.N. Owen -- the weather sours and they find themselves cut off from civilization. Very soon, the guests, each struggling with their conscience, will start to die -- one by one, according to the rules of the nursery rhyme 'Ten Little Soldier Boys' -- a rhyme that hangs in every room of the house and ends with the most terrifying words of all: '... and then there were none.

Pretty good, does drag a bit. I haven't read the original book or seen any other adaptations ||but I really really like the judge's motivation. I did somwhat see some of the twists coming, but the one-two punch of reveals at the end was great. || Cool show, could've probably been a more tightly paced movie.
3 episodes of pure suspense — it’s an adaption of Agatha Christie’s famous whodunnit but, unlike most whodunnits, it’s much less theatrical and much more sinister. It’s more sinister because it’s not focused only on the strange ongoing intrigue, but because it also digs into psyche of various people, as they themselves watch the mystery unfold. It challenges the preconceptions about who is capable of murder. And it’s thought-provoking because you find yourself wondering whether it’s possible to somehow rank the cruelty, which makes you feel like a bad person, but it also explains the many difficulties of juridical system. The casting is excellent. I watched it twice and some scenes stayed with me long after the first watch.
Rewatch! This was really fun, as good as the first watch (because I mostly forgot what happens) Inject whodunnits straight into my veins at this point Charles Dance is a god but everyone was very good
