It’s fiction
It’s fiction
NO, REALLY, well I did not know that.@@tcmyric4978
All right then . The lead role in the next Black Panther.@@tcmyric4978
😂😂😂
The BBC are getting as bad as Netflix. That adaptation of a Christmas Carol a couple of years back was an abomination, so was the recent Great Expectations, a critical flop and audiences hated it. They are completely losing the plot.
They have lead the way for years.
You mean lied@@kermitthefrog3632
So apparently the star British actor David Jonnson plays a newly arrived to the UK Nigerian in this adaptation, but had an upper class South East London Accent (his real accent)... it just didnt make any sense. Why script him as a Nigerian if he couldnt do the accent.
But but having native Europeans portrayed in tv or movies as good is racist . I can almost guarantee all the villains are white men . The writers are activists it’s why they can’t come up with anything new and have to wear a skin suit of something that came before
@@charliekane135yer it's pure pish a black guy in Scotland in 1900 hundreds you haven a fvcking laugh
Patronising piffle at that.
Why do y'all care that much💀💀💀i just want an Agatha Christie movie 😫😫
I really don't think he has the range to do accents. I've just watched both episodes and his "performance" is about as animated as a block of wood.
If you have seen the trailer, you've seen it all!! No where near the level of Agatha's other movies made.
I wondered what Ian Wright was up to these days
not bothered about the colour of an actor but it was just terrible 😬
Would never happen a black police inspector in 1939,
Not true to the period I would not watch this
The series takes place in the 1950’s, and he’s not a police inspector. You weren’t going to watch it anyway.
@@mindyjohnson1697 still would never happen in 1950 even being a detective,is is what call culture appropriation
He’s not a detective. He doesn’t work for the police in any capacity. He’s a Nigerian attaché. Maybe watch the series or read about it before you make assumptions.
The OP didn’t bother watching the show he was reviewing, and you didn’t bother reading what he said. Quite the pair.
It’s interesting how in non white countries pushing diversity isn’t a factor but promoted in every way in white ones. If Japan were to make movie after movie set in a historic time with half the cast non Japanese even historical figures they might view it as an altering of their history and culture. 🤔
For reference. When this story was written blacks were around 0.0002% of the UK population. Many thousands of British men served in the various Colonel police forces. Including George Orwell. The probability that there was a single black British born colonial policeman serving in India was zero. They simply did not exists..
Now there were certainly Anglo Indians in the various British India police forces. So given that there are far more British people with a background from the Indian subcontinent than of African / Afro-Caribbean background why does the BBC discriminate so much against South Asians. If the BBC had made the main character have some kind of Indian background it would have had some basis in reality. Not yet another box ticking "diversity" exercise of so many BBC productions. Lets stick a black actor in there so that people wont notice that everyone in the BBC production and management team is not only very white but all went to OxBridge. Or their mummies and daddies did.
makes sense if you look of the screen writer - Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre - who made the change
If you don’t mind my asking, given the setting of this particular adaptation has been moved to the 1950s, in which Britain still had African colonies and therefore black colonial officers/diplomats, does this not make the change make historical sense?
Orwell himself was born to an Anglo-Indian family. In addition to @jamescarrigy6225's Q. below, I am curious as to why it matters. Haven't seen it yet but read that many enjoyed the story regardless.
please let me know where many people have enjoyed this??@@mindyharket6020
As an American I’ve always enjoyed British movies/series especially before pre “woke” happened. If I were to watch an Asian movie set in a historic time it’s because I wanted to experience their culture including the people but if they were to cast white or black characters it just feels inauthentic. Whatever agenda they’re trying to pull seems to be focusing on certain countries. 🤔
This has long gone beyond parody. Now it's simply predictable and very wearisome.
You’ll live.
@@willslingwood indeed.😊
It seems to be almost a Mission:Impossible these days to get an adaptation done of a vintage story and not bugger about with it. I've just finished re-reading Hercule Poirot's Christmas and it was every bit as enjoyable as it was on first reading. We don't keep rewriting novels between readings, so why not just always do TV and film adaptations that respect the original writer by keeping everything as they wrote it, and only tweaking where you absolutely have to for reasons of visual clarity or logic? Modern adapters seem to start from "What can we change in this..?!"
I'm not fat 👍
I'm okay with some artistic license, I've seen good film adaptations of Dracula which don't follow the novel exactly. The BBC are making some really bizarre changes to things now though. It's getting dire.
A Black man in an Unbelievable Role that would NEVER had happened in this time period in the context it's Portrayed. These days anyone can play an historical figure such as Robin Hood, King Arthur. SNOW WHITE? Or any other role they never would have been able to be in. In Reality? :/ But imagine if a white person played Martin Luther King or Malcolm X, Muhammad-ali, or any other black famous person In a Play or Movie. That show/movie/play would immediately be “CANCELLED.” Why do we let this happen? The world is a Joke. History is being erased! in front of our eye's.
Well said.
We have to call this out at every opportunity. It makes me sick when every valid comment you make regarding a person of colour, other than white, has a racist tag attached to it. I never thought I would say this but, " if living in the western world, and therefore our culture is not good enough for you. If it is too White for you, then go back to the land of your ancestors and shut the F@#k up! .
Black actor awards! Imagine if we held,
" White actor awards,!"
Then we hear all this cultural appropriation nonsense, but it does not matter when our White literature and history, is appropriated. Enough is enough!
didnt you see the adverts on TV????? a white person with an indian or with a black person !!!!!!!! the SNOW WHITE MUST BE BLACK OR INDIAN IN OUR DAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does make sense when you look up the screen writer who made the change - Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre - and read that she's a black lesbian.
Agree
Historically, many 'white' actors have played someone who wasn't white: Joseph Fiennes played Michael Jackson, Laurence Olivier-Othello etc. History cannot be erased now can it...Just as the whitewashing of Christianity is an inaccurate portrayal of mankind.
I mean BBC does have another meaning wink wink nudge nudge lol
Agatha Christies masterpieces have been adapted time and time again and will continue to do so. I've read and l watched them all countless times and I welcome a fresh take on an old story. I'm going to watch it with an open mind however if it's some bullcrap agenda I'm switching it off.
Watched the first episode. Not awful. Main actor, cute but mediocre actor. Insulting to the British people, however, to show an English doctor raving about German books on eugenics just after WW2 considering it was brave English men who liberated the camps and witnessed the horrors of such ideologies. Shame on the BBC for that one.
It was an odd interpretation. The main actor was so bad it was honestly painful.
Murder is Easy will air on BBC One on Wednesday December 27th and Thursday December 28th at 9pm
Thank you! I hate that they show trailers without the airing date! 😡
Thank you I will be sure not to watch this woke anti-White rubbish.
thank you for telling us when to switch channels!!!
Do you know when it will be available in the U.S.?
No one cares.
I'm currently watching the dvd boxset of the 80s sherlock Holmes and for me it feels timeless as every character is perfectly cast.
you mean apart from the screenwriter decided to change out one of the main character for something that could check a box
@@Silfverr which character do you mean?. I'm only halfway through the boxset.
@@nathan260575 He didn't read your comment about the 80s sherlock holmes. He's talking about the show being trailed.
@@nathan260575im watching poirot(the old series)and i like it 😩

Disney fell from grace and BBC is next😅
Is Hercule Poirot black now? 😆😆
Oh BBC for pity sake ….. enough
It's a different character than Hercule Poirot, but it's a race swap nevertheless. Don't worry, they'll get to Poirot and Marple eventually, that is something they'll likely do very soon considering their other culturally appropriated productions these past few years and in the 2000's.
@@rpgadventurer32 I was being glib 😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂the comments here are hilarious
No more time slot announcements?
I can't imagine that plays well for the audience for this sort of thing.
Where is Miss Marple?
Whoopi Goldberg is playing her ....
@@The_Prophet... Oh Lord
@@folasadeadedapo Am afraid to tell you that Morgan Freeman is playing our Lord 🤣👍
@@The_Prophet... 😂😂😂
Race swapping is perfectly fine, because in the end we're all human beings. However, I loathe that it's a one way street.
No one screems for diversity when Japan is filming one of their beloved books. Or that India's huge film industry do not have any white people.
Until Pocahontas, Muhammad Ali, Oprah Winfrey and Eartha Kitt are being portraited by Emma Stone, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and Jennifer Aniston, I say frick film makers and their virtue signaling.
As a Norwegian, I have to watch my culture and heritage being pissed on by Hollywood. I am suppose to think its perfectly fine that vikings were black or asian. Or even female.
I clicked to watch this knowing that the main character has been swapped for a black guy. No problem. Semi eye roll. That’s the BBC. But the constant references to racism made me want to turn the thing off.
Why is it when every time someone mentions race swapping people always use real black people as examples? You do realize Agatha Christie wrote fiction, right?
I never understand how wokies sit there and just watch as they themselves are battered by serious accusations like “white people enslave and beat blacks” or “they colonise and steal” and they just sit there, nod and smile like unhinged maniacs. Some people have got to stand up for themselves 🤦🏽♂️💀
No, race swapping is not fine at all. The story, the setting and the period as determined by the authors should dictate the ethnicities of the characters and that's how it was until recent day radical identity politics and DEI agendas that have taken over all major American "high" institutions and both American and British mainstream entertainment in the past 7 years, and in BBC's case, it's been going on for over a decade.
Mel Gibson as Martin Luther King
The BBC know exactly what they"re doing
I'm sorry but I can't even imagine a black police detective living and conducting an investigation in a white English village during the first half of the previous century.
Is it still set in that time? How disappointing. Why didn't they just move it up to the modern day if they wanted a black lead? Just takes so much because it's in no way believable.
Of course not because it's absolute woke bulshit it's ridiculous just like Queen Charlotte wasn't black. I'm so tired of shit like this you can't rewrite history and these are the same people who freak out about cultural appropriation but it's no problem for black people to appropriate white culture
Oh dear God.
@@bhsbmd I dunno, I think you'll find most people feel this way when the Woke Police aren't on the prowl. :)
Then work on your imagination.
At least try and make it a bit believable. Never would happen in that time period.

Dont watch it its the only way #BoycottMurderisEasy
Absolute pc rubbish. Stopped watching halfway through.
2023 in a nutshell:
"In the radical reworking of Christie's book, Luke Fitzwilliam has been changed from a retired white colonial police officer to a black Nigerian, newly arrived in the UK for a diplomatic post in Whitehall."
Even as a black person I found this ridiculous. This push for diversity is actually driving some of us away. Create new black, Asian and minority characters instead of co-opting established white characters in the name of diversity. Oh, and here’s a radical idea, minorities didn’t just pop up in the last few years. We’ve been around for a good long while. Take one of the many fantastic people of colour throughout history and write dramas about them.
Makes zero sense,just like paying the licence fee.
And? The British invaded countries and forced their will onto it's inhabitants, making them slaves, stealing their gold and jewels but a black man playing a fictional character in 2023 is too much?! What a joke!
@@OMG21ization LOL I would love to have someone study your "brain" to see how in the world you think that's even remotely an apt comparison LOLOLOL. Have you forgotten to take your meds sweetie?
The first black Metropolitan police officer was in 1967
I am a massive Agatha Christie fan - have read ALL her books, watched all the movie & television adaptations (including the many, many repeats) and have seen The Mousetrap six times and i have to say THIS ADAPTATION WAS UNADULTERATED CR*P. Why does the 3rd most read person in history, after The Bible and Shakespeare, have to be BAME'd??? I do hope Douglas Henshall didn't give up the "excellent" Shetland for this sh*te?
I agree 1000 % - TOTAL SH£T
the bible isn't a person I'm afraid to say......
@@jonulfheinn7853 You are right. In my defence, though, it is ALL fiction.
He left Shetland two years ago ..... unfortunately
The reviews are in. Bland and incoherent. Ticks boxes but fails to charm. Mediocre Agatha Christie story is made worse by unnecessary rewrite.
Unbelievably I have learned that the person behind this obscenity changed the race of the character as a homage to their grandparents! Hopefully the curator of the Lourve is not black and decides to overpaint the Mona Lisa Black as a homage to their ancestors.
We have got to put a stop to this madness.
False equivalence and therein lies the madness. An adaptation vs irrevocably changing the original.
@@mindyharket6020 I did not say,
" Permanently over paint," I assumed most intelligent people would understand the Mona Lisa sits behind bullet proof glass, the paint would be on the glass, nor did I allude that the current bastardisation of the Agatha Christie work was, " Permanent."
I would be very happy to see a movie, if the script warranted it, that paid homage to a Nigerian family, their struggles and triumphs, but not at all happy that the BBC, sanctioned, an individual who saw fit to bastardise a literary work with an adaptation based on their personal agenda, and not for reasons of artistic integrity.
The only Madness, in this diversity obsesses world, is the lack of acceptance, equivalence that would be applied, if a white actor played a role obviously written for a Black character
.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I actually thought that compared to previous incarnations of this story it was really pretty good. Penelope Wilton was very good as per usual she’d make a good in new adaptation of Marple.
The woke makeover is irritating , but certainly nowhere near as politicised, preachy or as bad as Dr Tofu. The main problem with this self-flagelating pap is its lack of charm. I watched the 1st part out of curiosity - won't bother watching wokedunnit pt 2.
Wokedunnit.... good one that : )
But but having native Europeans portrayed in tv or movies as good is racist . I can almost guarantee all the villains are white men . The writers are activists it’s why they can’t come up with anything new and have to wear a skin suit of something that came before
@@68marconi Ta. It is a bit obvious though and I'm surp[rised reviewers haven't used it yet.
No, it's just as bad and it should be called out. This is not a true adaptation of her story.
@@rpgadventurer32 Personally, I have found Dr Woke much more subtly politicised. Having said that, I stopped watching the turdis some years back, so you could have a point.
What I find most odd is people saying they enjoy such dreck - do they do it out of a sense of ideological duty? Are they like loyal Nazis who tapped their toes to Nazi jazz or good Soviet citizens who listened to Soviet pop?
I would imagine, at some point, that we would consider that there wouldn't be this urge to reflect more humanity and lives in these stories if that had been done so many years back, with intent.
Looks fun! I loved the lead actor's performance in Industry and Rye Lane
Something seemed amiss. What was it? I just can’t put my finger on it. Oh, wait! Now I get it! Scotland Yard never closes.
Virtue signaling
BBC should stick to making proper authentic Christie dramas like their 2015 excellent pre woke ‘And Then There Were None’.
I’m not watching this on principle. Mind you if it was Daryl McCormack I ‘might’ have.
I am here for the lovely, talented Morfydd Clark. ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Just stick to the original or come up with a plot of your own. Why mess around with Christie’s books? It’s like having a Caucasian play Gandhi!
New generation, time to move forward 😂
Uh Gandhi was real. Last I checked this was work of fiction
Shockingly bad
plenty of anti colonialism a touch of slavery but no lgbgt etc the bbc really have missed one there
The downfall of BBC has begun...

Word up bruh ....Wanna some weed ?
I absolutely don't mind having a more diverse cast. But the actor who played Luke had one facial expression. He was absolutely terrible and this was painful to watch.
Welcome to the Panderverse
The lovely Joan Hickson was the best Miss Marple ❤ x
Absolutely agree. Nobody else comes close to her. ❤👍
Well, yes. But Murder Is Easy wasn't a Miss Marple story
@@ruthcrumpton3393 We know that.
@@stephenguppy7882 not everyone seems to.
@@ruthcrumpton3393 In which case, they know nothing about Agatha Christie, who told Miss Hickson in the 1950s that one day she would be the right age to play her and would be ideal. FACT.
Felt like I was watching an Amateur Dramatics Society production written and performed by the Communist Society of Britain.
😂Is this for real? I think I'll pass.
mathew baynton my beloved
I tought Penelope Wilton was the new Miss Marple and I said “oh, could be interesting”. I didn’t know that you actually KILLED Miss Marple!!! Murder is definitely easy! 😢
It's not Miss Marple ^_^ I wouldn't be surprised if Christie wrote the little old lady to resemble her on purpose, though. I know Christie often felt restricted by Poirot and absolutely hated him. I wonder if she felt the same about Marple sometimes? It may of felt cathartic to kill the character in some fashion. Luke was the detective in the book.
This would have been edgy and brave 30 years ago but its just laughable now.
So diverse
Omg my love Mathew Baynton is there
This is the best version of the story

It’s so wrong on so many levels, the story has been altered it’s so woke it’s ridiculous, are we no longer able to have classic stories told as there were written?
For one BBC have done the way is supposed to be done,now im watching this 🔥🍿
Think I’ll pass on this.
Why do they so much licence with characters from books. Why do they have to go down the political correct path everytime. I Will not be watching no way would this person be black.
It’s absurd to me that I have watched and enjoyed many adaptations of Agatha Christie, Sherlock and others, from Russian interpretations, Swedish, etc. Not once did I consider their color but somehow I still enjoyed them. It’s fascinating to me that people can’t simply enjoy the story as other cultures have for many years void of our own representation, but when we are finally represented, the story is no longer palatable.
I suspect many more people will watch and enjoy this with no problem than the few weirdos complaining in the CZcams comments!
I'm not gay
It is the twisting of history and the faux liberalism of the BBC that is objectionable. It's simply disingenuous and frankly, to employ your word, absurd.
Those cultures represent their native culture. This adaptation is representing a foreign culture.
@@kevinjohnston4923 so were a lot of older Hollywood movies. There were Caucasian people portraying Indigenous people, as well as people of African and Spanish descent. My point is that there is never a word spoken about those depictions.
Ahhhh another crime mystery show set in an idyllic village where you wouldn’t think things like murder would happen
Oh and a recent migrant is a super detective
Boomers rejoice
good adaptation the one with benedict cumberbatch was horrible completely different from the books this ones much more similar
Pointless to say, perhaps, that in the novel Luke Fitzwilliam is a white Englishman - policeman returning from the colonies - and that it is highly unlikely for a black man in 1939 England to appear in a terribly conservative English village and start investigating a series of murders in an unofficial capacity. And have a romance with the fiancée of the local press lord…
I'm sure you will also be taking non-race related inaccuracy notes as well? Or are you just an expert in race in 1939 fictional villages? Strange.
Not necessarily: (1) Black males _did_ have carnal relations with White women back then. The white woman's high social status would have made carnal relationship paradoxically more probable AND more discrete thus obscured (2) there are a lot of things that occurred in the past which were, if not common place, still in the realm of possibility; events and occurrences made obscure by conventional wisdom based on contemporary entertainment values e.g up until very recently, few would have guessed that the fictional _Lone Ranger_ was based on a real black guy. (3) "Conservative" had a different connotation during Agatha Christie's times. Being a terribly conservative village doesn't mean unusual things _couldn't_ occur. _Improbable isn't the same as impossible_ . Murder is an unusual thing in a "terribly conservative village" yet it occasionally occurs.
It's fiction. Besides if Agatha Christie's works are to live on in an increasingly racially mixed world, eventually even Hercules Poirot will be played unironically by a "black"(mixed) guy.
It is set in 1954
@@mulesmarinairit's 1939 actually
I don’t care if it is historically unlikely. I want EVERYONE to feel included in arts and society - and being able to see yourself represented in all types and styles of drama is so important. Bring it on. Why should only white people have full representation?
Start watching Japanese and Korea movies with subtitles if you want an authentic movie experience. If you want social engineering then watch anything from the west.
Or stock up on hard copies of old classics before they're purged.
I'd rather just watch older British and America films and TV.

Good. For a long time, non-whites were deliberately erased from everything even when it would be more accurate to include them.
At least it seems acceptable for Asian countries to preserve their heritage and culture keeping it intact but seen as completely racist for Europe to do the same. 🙄

Very.

Why do they have to mess about with characters in Agatha Christie?
He was NOT a Blackman!!!!
Why the obsession for making everything in Britain inclusive?
If the BBC made a documentary about Dianne Abbot, would they have a White Woman in the lead role?
Say - Olivia Colman?
If the BBC made a documentary about American Activist Martin Luther King?
Would they choose Daniel Craig to take the lead role?
So, why all this bloody misrepresentation by the BBC.
It's one reason why I TURN OFF the BBC
lol Imagine watching this trash.
Was absolutely shit but Mats in it so it's okay
Fantastic show. Hoping for another series of it.
Nowhere near as good as pre famous Benedict Cumberbatch's version
It stuck to Christie's original text
There is nothing wrong in using poetic licence in fiction provided it does not take away from the integrity of the work. In this context the integral core of the story is that it remains a murder mystery not the ethnicity of the protagonist.
It's been butchered to insert propaganda, that's the worst part
what a disaster !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the black actor in the main role is the first disaster !!!!!!!!!!! maybe with another casting might be interesting !!!!!!!!! DONT WASTE your time with such a stupid movie
i loved it... a black guy "stole" your girlfriend?
@@virusdetected6395 That's racist

czcams.com/video/_FkOcbhPVTE/video.htmlsi=3TmrR3cpG0CiD03d
LOL like the makers had this idea in mind when they announced the casting. I think you're giving this WAY too much credit. :D
They have to tick boxes now to get funded.... historical accuracy be damned
would you like a white actor portraying Martin Luther King? Or is race-washing only ok in one direction?
Why is it that you folks always use real black people for examples, it makes you look like you guys don't realize that Agatha Christie wrote fiction? For the last few years everytime a black actor plays a fictional character, you guys always mention Martin Luther King or another famous black man.... Wait you do realize Martin Luther King was real,right?
I onky hope to live to see indian and african fairy tays with blonde actresses. If we neef to rewrite everything.

Another PC point the BBC are trying to prove just likke Disney+ ffs. Leave Agatha Christie's work alone and stop changing it ffs
To be fair, the last time the BBC produced Murder Is Easy, they put Miss Marple in it.
Leave the poor guy alone. You don't have to watch it.
@lauramccormick194 actually that was ITV Agatha Christie's Marple. The best version is the 1983 film with Bill Bixby. At least but then they didn't have to try and prove themselves there was no PC crap or anything like that people where happy living there lives.
And Luke being Black changes the story....how?
@ruthcrumpton3393 because the luke in the book is white and this disrespecting Agatha Christies books
Chris Rock's cousin as Hercule Poirot (a Belgian detective) 🤦♂
"Thanks" again, woke generation, for displaying your incapacity in creating something original and walking the hard way to success.

It matters because it is dishonest and an attempt to rewrite history and alter a christie book.
Iknew it was sci-fi, when they portrayed friendly white people living outside of the city😅 the england iknow would neverrrr
A sleepy English Village in the 1950s. Of course it has to have main characters that are 'of Colour'. Well done BBC, changing History yet again for WOKE.
How DARE they Keep forcing them damn black folk on all you Good White Lovelies just minding your own business in your Lily white villages!!! THE GALL!
I consider myself woke but apparently I'm not if this is woke (which I disagree with tbh, it's a misuse of the word). I don't think it's a sign of intolerance if I find it historically hard to believe that this could in any way happen then. Especially if they don't address it in any way in the film.

Of course the World changes for better and worse as time goes by. But in the Book he was not Black. It's changing History and also Fictional Characters that I object to. I belong to a minority, I'm Gay. However I would think it not only absurd but also patronising if the sexuality of Characters was changed in adaptations purely to make me feel 'accepted'. I don't need Gay Men thrown in everywhere just to feel validated. The recent 'Gay History' that Dr. WHO hinted at was quite ridiculous, like the entire production really.@@Muttonchop57

This what i like most 🍿
Since Luke is coming over from the colonies, surely it makes sense for him to be played by a black actor? There was some immigration from the West Indies in particular back in the 30s, though nothing like the post-war setting. And young people had been coming here from the colonies to attend university for a long time, including young black men. For instance, the Guyanese author ER Braithwaite was born in 1912 - both his parents attended Oxford University before they had him. So while it’s less likely than it would have been in a post-war setting, it’s still perfectly believable! (Also, I really love Murder is Easy, but if you think the casting of the lead actor is the most unlikely thing about it, I suspect you might not be that familiar with the plot…)
Murder is easy as long as no one thinks it's murder
White People worked in the Colonies and came back to the UK !
He is returning from the Colonies. And he's white in the book.
Maybe the BBC is in Psychic contact with Ms. Christie and She told them that She meant for him to identify as a Black Man in anticipation of historical reparations in the future. It's as believable as the large ethnic Community that is supposed to have lived in the UK since the time of the Druids !@@victoria5043
