This series is very, very good. It's Poirot and England in the 30's but not as we know them. Darker, grittier, sexier, a completely different take on the Christie story that is maintained for the whole 3 hours and it works very well.
I sat down intending to watch the first one and leave the others for later but ended up watching all 3 back to back. Enthralling, couldn't put it down.
The acting, writing, direction, sets, attention to period detail etc was superb.
Not too sure about the changing of Poirot's back story. It seems strange that he'd develop into a famous detective with the background he had prior to WW1 but that's my only reservation and it doesn't detract from the overall story.
Well done to all involved. Highly recommended.
