I didn't like this one as much as Death on the Nile. But I think I like it more than Murder on the Orient Express a smidge.

It was well produced and performed. Tina Fey was great in a slightly more serious role. My main issue with this film is that it doesn't work super well as a mystery film. The clues are very subtle and vague. The third act and reveal felt very rushed.

I hope the series continues.
