Poirot – Appointment with Death

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Poirot – Appointment with Death
  • IMDb: link

Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to early 20th Century London and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. “Appointment with Death” is a curious adaptation of the Agathe Christie novel of the same name involving the murder of a sadistic matriarch with an iron grip over her family. The adaption for Poirot makes a number of curious changes to the story including keeping the matriarch’s husband alive (his death, and the will left behind is the catalyst of all that comes afterwards) and changes the woman from being the family’s stepmother into one of two adoptive parents for all the various grown children.

Maul – Whispers in the Unknown / Pride and Vengeance

While still including the ill-fated police investigation into finding Maul (Sam Witwer) which I’m already tiring of, “Whispers in the Unknown” and “Pride and Vengeance” give us Maul’s attempts to pull the Jedi Padawan Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon) towards the Dark Side (likely reminding viewers of his similar attempts to win over Ezra Bridger) and get revenge by taking down the Pykes and bending another syndicate to his will.

Poirot – Death on the Nile

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Poirot – Death on the Nile
  • IMDb: link

Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to early 20th Century London and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Despite a tighter budget than either of the feature film adaptations, Poirot‘s adaptation of Death on the Nile is the best of the bunch. Introducing, then quickly dispensing with, the the superfluous early bits of the story, the double-sized episode gets us to Egypt in less than 6 minutes, gets us on the boat in less than 20, and gets us to the fateful night where murder and shenanigans start occurring prior to the halfway-point of the episode allowing the majority of time to be set aside for Poirot (David Suchet) to solve a case where the two most obvious suspects have iron-clad alibis for the crime.
