The term “made-for-TV movie” still bears some negative connotations, especially when the myriad of streaming services on offer are regularly throwing up Academy Award contenders and $200 million blockbusters. As a result, Crooked House was lost in the shuffle when it debuted to little fanfare back in 2017.
However, the murder mystery should have caught more attention than it did, based on the strength of the source material and the stacked cast that were assembled to bring it to life. Looking at the ensemble, had Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s brisk tale of double-crossing and deceit arrived a couple of years later, it would have made a sterling streaming original from one of the major players.
