In the shadow of a grand, decaying English estate, a shocking murder shatters the veneer of a deeply dysfunctional dynasty. Former diplomat Charles Hayward, played by Max Irons, is drawn back into the orbit of his ex-lover Sophia, Stefanie Martini, when her wealthy and tyrannical grandfather Aristide Leonides is found poisoned. Tasked with uncovering the truth, Charles navigates a labyrinth of suspicion within Crooked House itself, where every resident harbors dark motives and a compelling reason to want the old man dead. The formidable matriarch Lady Edith, portrayed by Glenn Close, presides over a household that includes Sophia’s enigmatic mother, Gillian Anderson, and her resentful aunt, Christina Hendricks, all under the watchful eye of a tenacious detective, Terence Stamp. As secrets unravel and family loyalties fracture, this gripping drama, directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, masterfully builds an atmosphere of claustrophobic mystery where, in a house this crooked, no one can be trusted.
