” They were ten », a new adaptation of the famous novel by Agatha Christie: the 10 little niggers. The series brings together a French cast of choice: Samuel LeBihan, Guillaume de Tonquedec, Romane Bohringer, Virginia Ledoyenamong others.
For the record: Ten foreigners (5 men and 5 women) land on a desert island for a stay in a luxury hotel. Except that when they arrive, they find a deserted, rather run-down place, far from the promised glamor, with only two staff members who don’t seem very knowledgeable either. Quickly, the dream turns into a nightmare.
They realize they’ve been lured into a trap and for a very specific reason: they are accused of having each killed someone. The story is very contemporary. In the original, the characters were a General, a Judge, they are today a member of an NGO, a crime cop or an ex-trader.
So we watch or not ” They were ten »? Fans of thrillers and behind closed doors will find what they are looking for. The suspense on the identity of the killer holds throughout the 6 episodes. Despite a few clichés and, in my opinion, a little too many flashbacks explaining the past of each protagonist which break the rhythm a little, the series is rather pleasant. Good entertainment that will sometimes make us think of remember last summerthe scares of a good slasher less.
