Review of Ils étaient dix

I binged-watched the series over two successive days, and don't regret it. Still, even at 6 episodes (rather than the usual 8 or 10), this is overly long; it could easily have been shortened to 4 episodes. The Caribbean island setting, with all its lush color, and the decrepit resort, work well - probably much better than the windswept English island of the old black and white movie. All in all, it's a good adaptation of the classic Agatha Christie story. If you know that story, however, you'll know who the killer is about midway, especially since this version omits the one plot device that created so much misdirection in the original movie.
