Roger's role in the household is changed: Instead of being Sylvia's brother-in-law, he is the resident piano teacher at Castle Savage, and since the Caymans are deleted, and there is no photograph for him to take from Carstair's body, he is not present when the body is discovered. The unique feature in this adaptation is that there are two Evans. The presence of Claude Evans served as misdirection whereas the real Evans of interest is still the maid Florrie Evans.New Agatha Christie adaptation with Hugh Laurie, Lucy Boynton and Will Poulter films in Shere".

Obsession is beautifully shot, and via Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Benji Walters’s script you occasionally get some sense of Anna’s inner life, her motivations, though not nearly enough. It’s left to Indira Varma, as William’s wife, Ingrid, to burn up the screen with emotion. Anna and William are mainly about the sex scenes, which seem to arrive in Bogof batches. Clearly, intimacy coordinators are working overtime, but that’s not the problem.
