I think the way it has been produced does justify the series. We are so used to seeing Hercule Poirot portrayed as a slightly comical character. This is a more gritty portrayal. Mind you I wasn't so sure after the first episode but I thought it got a bit more interesting last night. I will wait and see how we end up after the final episode.

PS I am pretty sure the place they identify as Andover is not Andover, it looks a bit like Hebden Bridge!!! Can anyone help me with that?

I must say that,in the end, I rather liked the series. A different way of portraying the story. There would have been no point in just making a copy of the David Suchet, or even Peter Ustinov style of Poirot. it had to be different otherwise they may have just just as well shown the previous series. I will try and get my free copy of the Guardian when in Waitrose tomorrow to see if they have further comment.
