32 • LMGI COMPASS | Summer 2026 Agatha Christie's Seven Dials Black Rabbit AGATHA CHRISTIE'S SEVEN DIALS Stretching across South West UK and Southern Spain, a twisted murder mystery unearths dark conspiracies, espionage and international intrigue when an innocent prank turns deadly. The expansive Badminton Estate plays for the scene of the crime, its fading grandeur a metaphor for the upper-class elite trying to maintain an immaculate façade in the aftermath of WW1. Barrelhouse plays for the jazz-infused illicit hub of the Seven Dials Nightclub in the city's impoverished slum, and narrative threads collide at the imposing Victorian Westonbirt House as Wyvern Abbey, a bastion of the politically powerful British old guard. A flashback scene at the historic Bullring of the Royal Cavalry in Ronda, Spain, establishes a conspiracy that is rooted in blood and violence and scenes aboard the Weston Somerset Railway chugging along the scenic North Somerset coastline add a volatile tension, trapping suspects and secret agents in a confined space from which there is no escape. BEEF Season 2 This darkly funny slow-boiling thriller unfolds in the sun- drenched central coast of California and the sleek modernist architecture of Seoul, South Korea, as they transform into rage-fueled realms of internal fury and class resentment. In the Spanish Hills Country Club playing for the exclusive Monte Vista Point, the misguided ambition of its older wealthy owner, millennial manager, privileged clientele and Gen Z workers ignites generational and economic grievances, fueling an anger that simmers in the spaces they occupy in and around Los Angeles, Ventura, Malibu and Calabasas playing for the more upscale Montecito further up the coast. Fraud, jealousy and even murder ignite a power struggle that finally explodes on the streets of Seoul and within the imposing concrete, glass and soaring vertical heights and corridors of a plastic surgery center and the Conrad Hotel. BLACK RABBIT Downtown New York City pulses with frantic energy as two brothers, one outwardly successful, the other struggling and on the run from gambling debt, try to keep their trendy hip restaurant, the Black Rabbit, afloat. A gangster family runs its gambling operation beneath the actual 10th Street Russian and Turkish baths, a location under the Verrazzano Bridge with cars whipping by and headlights streaking through the frame, give scenes movement and pressure and neighborhoods in the West Village and Coney Island provide an authentic lived-in vibe. But it's an historic wooden frame building from the late 1700s, sitting under an on-ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge, that gives the series its dark and soulful edge. As the Black Rabbit exterior, it is the vortex of promise into which flawed characters are drawn, and high-stakes drama revolve.
