I've been watching Poirot from inception and overall I'm finding the series very enjoyable in that lighthearted crime drama manner that the Brits manage to do so well.
And then The Million Dollar Bond Robbery came along.
I would say, ignore the rating of 7 or more. I'm being generous giving this episode a 5. The positives of this episode are the usual interplay of Poirot and Hasting with the added benefit of the crime being set on the maiden sailing of the Queen Mary. Yet, as other rating less than mine can verify, this was a very confusing plot with a number of needless twist and red herring. And, it apparently significantly deviates from the story written by Christie. While still worth watching, this is an episode of Poirot the fall well short of the usual standards.
