OK, not a problem. After you watch Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials check out the following as additional viewing:
Broadchurch (2013 – 2017)
First up, and sticking with writer/director Chris Chibnall, lead towards the critically acclaimed British crime drama series, Broadchurch. Created and written by Chibnall, and starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman, Broadchurch is a sprawling crime series which sets its story around the death of a young boy in a small coastal town in England.
In total, Broadchurch ran for three seasons, comprising 24 episodes. When the series initially aired in the UK it was a ratings winner.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot (1989 – 2013)
Remaining with British television shows for this next one, the mystery-drama, Agatha Christie’s Poirot. Starring David Suchet as the eponymous Belgian detective, Agatha Christie’s Poirot was another huge success when it originally aired in the UK between 1989 and 2013.
In total there are thirteen seasons of Agatha Christie’s Poirot, equating to 70 episodes. The show adapts all of Christie’s major murder-mysteries featuring Hercule Poirot, making it the definitive TV show of his mystery cases.

Agatha Christie’s Marple (2004 – 2013)
And yet more Agatha Christie stories to get lost in for this next suggestion – the British murder-mystery show, Agatha Christie’s Marple. Similar to Agatha Christie’s Poirot, this 23-episode show adapts Christie’s Miss Marple stories, although this time around some additional liberties are taken (i.e. not every episode is based on a Miss Marple novel).
Six seasons of Agatha Christie’s Marple were produced between 2004 and 2013. During the first three seasons, Geraldine McEwan plays the role of Marple, while Julia McKenzie takes over for seasons four to six.

7 Women and a Murder (2023)
And finally, the Italian comedy whodunnit, 7 Women and a Murder. Directed by Alessandro Genovesi, the movie stars Margherita Bay, Diana Del Bufalo, and Sabrina Impacciatore, and focuses on a murder-mystery in a mansion.
Clocking in at a lean 82-minutes, and working from a fairly straight-forward premise, 7 Women and a Murder is a comical whodunnit which keeps things fairly light and breezy. Chances are you’ll solve the mystery quite easily, but thanks to some well-placed lines and a strong setting, there’s enjoyment to be had along the way.
