The one likely upside of amnesia is that you can read all of Agatha Christie's novels again wondering "whodunit". Alas, today's viewers will already know the rough story line - but this mini-series (which equals a long movie) manages to keep you interested.
Fortunately, the BBC has gone to lengths to match ITV's recently concluded "Poirot" with David Suchet. The cast is sheer class without a hint of overacting, and the setting delivers just the right inescapable atmosphere. My only criticism would be the the infamous 'organge and teal' blockbuster color grading, in this case with slight 'vintage' flavor. A good show can contain more realistic colors and still shine!
Put it on your "must watch" list and dial the rating to 11.
