So... different views and I can understand both; I personally found it very well written, very different and an absolute success; unexpected, I have to say (rather as nobody could match Hickson as Marple; so Suchet was the ultimate Poirot) but like different actors playing King Lear (my favourite play), why not and this was I thought a fascinating, darker, ominous version. Grint was excellent too; turning into a very good actor. |

I didn't like it. Too relentlessly dark and cynical and Poirot didn't seem very sympathetic. Here's hoping they don't turn it into a series! |

Just binge watched the three episodes and thoroughly enjoyed the different approach.
The mood of the era was captured well - including the facism and dislike of foreigners in London, during the 1930s.
Plenty of good locations, steam trains and side stories - with underlying tension, as to what was happening in Germany and neighbouring countries.
Some things haven't changed...
