Why Not Evans: 3 Good Reasons To Watch This Tv Series.
On Sunday, July 30th, the channel C8 will broadcast in its entirety the TV series "Why Not Evans?" Adapted from a novel by Agatha Christie, this mini-series of 4 episodes will transport you to 1930s England, with actor Hugh Laurie in front of and behind the camera! Here are three good reasons to watch this so British detective series, never before seen on free TV.
1- To savor the plot imagined by the queen of crime.
By broadcasting the new series "Why not Evans?" on Sunday, July 30th at 9:10 pm, the channel C8 is giving a nice gift to all fans of crime novels. Viewers who appreciate murder mysteries and well-crafted police cases will find in this little gem signed by Agatha Christie a complex and intriguing plot.
If you are a fan of the queen of crime and her heroes such as the insightful Miss Marple and the incomparable Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, don't miss this 4-episode adaptation that will be fully aired during the evening!
The crime puzzles imagined by Agatha Christie for nearly a century continue to inspire multiple fictions for both the small and big screens. It is actor Hugh Laurie who directs this adaptation of a novel published by the queen of crime in 1934.
Even though this investigation does not feature Hercule Poirot like Kenneth Branagh's film "Death on the Nile", we can still find in this multi-layered story the sense of mystery that adds charm to Agatha Christie's novels.
2- To find Hugh Laurie in the role of a doctor
The broadcast of the miniseries "Why not Evans?" on C8 is also good news for fans of the medical series Dr House as they will find Hugh Laurie in the role... of a doctor!
The unforgettable interpreter of Dr House signs the screenplay and directs this adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel, paying a beautiful tribute to the famous novelist. As a writer and director, Hugh Laurie manages to leave his mark on this detective story that is both classic in form and modern in tone.
As an actor, he perfectly embodies the mysterious Dr James Nicholson who runs an imposing psychiatric clinic in the Hampshire countryside.
3- To appreciate a beautiful duo of amateur detectives
Once again, Hugh Laurie does not play the lead role in this mini-series set in 1930s England. Why Not Evans? tells the story of two childhood friends, the lively Bobby (Will Poulter) and the daring Frankie (Lucy Boynton), who attempt to unravel the mystery behind the dying man's enigmatic last words.
The sparkling relationship between these two amateur detectives is the charm of this adaptation, as it recalls the duos of the great American comedies of the 1930s.
It all begins when Bobby finds a dying man at the foot of the cliffs of Marchbolt, a small coastal town in Wales. In his final breath, the stranger whispers to him, "Why didn't they ask Evans?"
To discover the meaning behind these strange words, Bobby and his friend, the beautiful and wealthy Frankie, embark on a challenging investigation that promises to be filled with false leads, betrayals, and unexpected revelations.
Don't be fooled by the apparent calm of the British countryside! In Agatha Christie's stories, every cup of tea can hide a dangerous poison, and the suspense is so gripping that it's impossible to put down your book or screen...
Fans of crime novels will savor this intricately plotted whodunit, with its well-oiled mechanics. As always with the British author, the detective plot will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final revelation.
