Synopsis
Ordeal by Innocence (2018) is a British crime miniseries from an Agatha Christie novel you can watch online on iFILM. The lady of the wealthy Argyll house is found dead, and her adopted son Jack takes the blame. A year on, a stranger turns up at the door with an alibi that quietly blows the case apart.
If Jack didn't do it, the killer is one of the family — and still sitting at the same dinner table. Bill Nighy plays the patriarch whose generosity toward his adopted children curdled into a knot of grudges and secrets. Around him stand Anthony Boyle as the accused Jack, plus Matthew Goode, Alice Eve and Eleanor Tomlinson. Everyone is hiding something, and the script is in no hurry to say who.
Sandra Goldbacher directed the three episodes and rewrote the ending of Christie's original — so even seasoned readers won't see the last turn coming. Cold English interiors, long silences, nothing wasted. If you like slow-burn mysteries with a false bottom, stream Ordeal by Innocence online on iFILM.
