Die-hard fans must score five points. Although as mentioned in the previous article by fans, this version of Poirot is very Sherlock Holmes, but to be honest, I personally think that this is a compromise that has to be made in the face of commercialization.

This version of Poirot has more hair and a very Stalin beard. At the beginning, the director's interpretation of Poirot always made me feel that he was deliberately imitating David's version of Poirot, whether it was the slightly raised little orchid fingers or the honey French accent.

The end has already paved the way for the tragedy on the Nile, and I hope it can be made into a series.
