Yes, I know it doesn't stick exactly to the source material, but it's not as though the original novel, or the Albert Finney film version, have disappeared. This one's just different, and for my money (or my time, rather) this new PBS production was the best Hercule Poirot I've seen. Dark, morally ambiguous, maybe a little overwrought at the end, but very very good.
