Travels with Agatha Christie & Sir David Suchet (Season 1, docuseries) – March 8
Rollout: All at once (5 episodes)
Synopsis: Touching, insightful, humorous and fascinating, this series sees national treasure Sir David Suchet travel around the world, following in the footsteps of the Queen of mystery, Dame Agatha Christie. Before becoming the world’s best-selling author, Agatha Christie embarked upon a world tour in 1922 at age 31. Her ten-month itinerary of the then British Empire took her across South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, along with a holiday to Hawaii. Perceptions of Agatha Christie’s character tend to be dominated by the persona she adopted in public life, when she was seen as a shy individual who disliked fame. But this was a defensive wall erected by Agatha. Now, 100 years on, this journey is an opportunity for Sir David, and all fans of the author, to discover a lesser-known Agatha – the woman she really was. And through recreating her surprising and fascinating journey, he’ll also have a unique chance to explore the history and complex legacy of the British Empire.”
Ludwig (Season 1) – March 20
Rollout: One new episode weekly through the April 17 finale
Cast: David Mitchell, Anna Maxwell Martin, Dipo Ola, Dorothy Atkinson
Synopsis: “Puzzle setter John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor sees his life of solitude turned upside down when his identical twin brother, James, disappears without a trace. In a quest to track James down and bring him home, Ludwig assumes his brother’s identity – but by taking over every aspect of James’s life, Ludwig is forced to confront his own issues. Unlike Ludwig, James is no hermit. Far from it, in fact. He’s a family man who also just happens to be DCI of a busy inner-city major crimes team. For Ludwig, these are big shoes to fill, and playing dad to a ready-made family proves every bit as challenging as tackling the grisliest of crime scenes. But Ludwig has one big advantage: his ability to see the world in puzzle form. Can this master of all things cryptic crack his biggest puzzle yet?”
