Me, neither. Love the atmospheric background but am finding it rather ponderous.( and before anyone squeaks, I normally like drama with a slow build-up)

Is the coughing really a necessary part of the plot or could it have been done away with as it's very annoying? Perhaps he's choking on the weird green BBC smog?

I gave it ten minutes.
It looked as if instead of the old trick of smearing a thin film of vaseline over the camera lens for effect, they'd used treacle. |

So there will be a BBC version of Poirot? It will be weird without David Suchet, I always picture him now.
Omg that cat is beautiful. Ok the blood isn't pretty. |

Lots of padding and seems more about Jones character than the actual murder.

How about one of today's cast, Toby Jones, as Poirot. His head's the right shape, for a start.

If he's coughing blood it's more than gas damage.

Charlie Higson playing this part as Bob Fleming would've enlivened it no end!
![]() Dull, dull, dull. I won't be back for round two. |

Toby Jones is no Charles Laughton that's for sure. I loved the film from the opening scene, but this is just dreary.

That bloody green fog is doing my head in, but I do want to see how (or if) they pull off the deception in this version, so I'll be recording tomorrow's episode.
Not a patch on the 1957 version though. |

I was looking forward to this but found it very plodding and I couldn't make out a lot of the scenes as it was so dark.
I don't have the best eyesight but I thought it was tedious

Too much padding for me but I think it as get more interesting in the second episode. It's certainly nowhere near as good as 'and then there were none' but still watchable.

Somewhat enjoyable hour, spoilt a little by the smog atmosphere even inside people's home - was it really as bad as outside?? And that last five minutes was just a 'what-the-hell' moment for me.
That said I'll be tuning in tomorrow to see the outcome. |

Enjoyed it, I will definitely be watching tomorrow.
On a side note, Taboo looks good, Tom Hardy? yes please. |
