Customer Reviews

Hope you read the book first.

Agatha Raisin TV Series 2014–2022. This production tries to be too campy. It makes you wish that all the characters would be dispatched. The stories follow the books somewhat, but the characters are too ridiculous for words. The first series (Pilot) is the same as the first book, “The Quiche of Death.” Episode 1: Walkers of Dembley. Based on the novel by M. C. Beaton. Episode 2: Hell’s Bells There are 20 episodes I could give a heads-up on the stories; however, you should watch them unfold. If you have read the books, then try not to anticipate your favorite parts or scenes. We get great expressions, such as “Bob’s your uncle.” It may also help a bit to watch the bonus features, which help tell what they are trying to accomplish. They purposely exaggerated the characters and had to change things to be more TV-like than in the book. I had to use the subtitles as either they are slurring or mumbling; Oh, that is the other English.
