I truly cannot believe how people haven't at least enjoyed this three part serial. They managed to adapt The ABC Murders, and make it relevant to a 2018 audience, who are used to Peaky Blinders, Luther, Bodyguard etc, and would in all honesty find traditional, straight laced Agatha Christie a little mild.
Hard hitting, definitely, some raunchy scenes, some violent, at times I think the intention was to surprise and shock.
What I loved, pretty much the first forty five minutes of this third part, I loved how the characters were revisited after the conclusion, so often they're just dismissed and forgotten about, that was a nice touch. I truly loved Malkovich's Poirot, such a different take to see him played as a spent force, somewhat of a lost soul. I loved the expansion of Thora Grey's character, it made sense, and I particularly loved the performance of Eamon Farren (ABC) who somehow grew as a character. The scene between Poirot and the killer was also memorable.
I didn't like Poirot's back story, I won't spoil it by commenting on it, but it showed a disregard for the character's past, and seemed out of place. I don't like the fact that I know he won't play Poirot again.... Prove me wrong.
Best thing about Christmas 2018. 9/10
