Title: A Sequel That Doesn't Live Up to its Predecessors
Product review: As devout fans of Poirot and David Suchet who are familiar with all 12 sets of the television series and all the movies up to this set, my wife and I are both saddened and disappointed by the sudden drop in quality. One of the presnt episodes, "The Hollow," typifies the shortcomings of this series, which include highly improbable characters, poor scripts, and some overacting. Suchet is wonderful, as always, but seems to have lost some of his edge here. Part of the problem with these newest films may be attributable to the absence of the trio of excellent characters--Hastings, Chief Inspector Japp, and Miss Lemon--whose interactions helped make the earlier efforts so delightful. Regrettably, we cannot recommend this extra series.
