i be once only able to see poirot if pbs mystery broadcast a series and they haven not for quite a while and several year in fact so i mistakenly think that the poirot series have cease production about 10 year ago . i be very happy to discover how wrong i be . i think the production value and the acting in this one have far surpass what i have remember and i think i ought to say that i be already quite fond of poirot a decade or more ago . nevertheless and i would have like to see some even handedness in how the villainy be disperse . apparently it not murder if you knock someone out cold and kill him then club him in the back of the head to frame someone else then go on to bribe another person to commit perjury in a deposition . no and you get off scot free for that . blackmail and impersonate someone else be just fine and dandy too . verbal harassment . no problem . nothing to see here . move along . embezzeling fund from a pension fund be no big deal either . but the clincher represent it not consider murder if you go along with a plot to bomb a house fill with people . youre apparently only consider a murderer if poirot feel like say so . the judgment be not doled out even handedly at all . be catholic doesn not melt your brain or turn off your moral radar . whatever the fake sister do and she do of her own volition and should have be hold accountable for it . that include make false claim at a deposition ( perjury ) and be an accomplice to murder and receive steal good and and fraud . but and i guess since she have big eye and 2 x chromosome and then that make it okay . and rowley should have go to jail too . and what about the embezzler . in spite of that and i give this a 10 because i be so happy to find out there be a boatload of poirot that i have yet to see and and because i like the chemistry between elliot cowan character and amanda douge character . it be magical i think . the party scene and the garden scene alone make it worth watch . the best on screen kiss i have ever see and even good than cary grant and ingrid bergman in notorious and that say something . pity the end be so ridiculous .
