As a huge Christie's fan, I welcomed this TV series frantically. I read all of her books more than ten times each. So my review is for her book fans. Not for those who just watch these on TV or videos.
Art and decorations, costumes, castings, everything is beautifully revived, with some effort to put within two hours. My top recommendations are: 1. The Hollow - Almost no changes of characters and settings from the original story. The Actors are very convincing, too. There's a slight change at the ending. 2. One, Two, Buckle my shoe - Also very faithful to the original though the plot was very complicated. With some necessary reductions of side characters. 3.
All other episodes except: 1. Appointment with Death - Totally changed story and cast of characters. Title should be Disappointment with this. Christie would have been raged if she saw this. 2. Dumb Witness - Also I was confused, wondering what am I watching? No settings and affairs are familiar from the Original. 3. Cards on the table - Unnecessary change of murderer at the end. It spoiled the original. I want movies to be faithful to the original story. The series is fulfilling my need and showing some more pictures I couldn't imagine.
