Je n'aime pas dans les vieux films américains quand les conducteurs ne regardent pas la route. Et de ratage en ratage, on s'habitue à ne jamais dépasser le stade du brouillon. La vie n'est que l'interminable répétition d'une représentation qui n'aura jamais lieu.

Agatha Christie's Great Detectives Poirot & Marple: Endo Hausu kai Jiken (Sono San) Kanpeki na Shoko

So, this series wraps up its three-part adaptation of Peril at End House with a great episode that’s high energy and handles the twist/revelation at the end very well.  This is probably the all around best adaptation so far.  It’s always hard to judge these things when, as I did with this story, you already know the solution, but I think they did a really good job not telegraphing the solution.  It’s a pretty complicated story and the clues are there, but, if I hadn’t known already, I don’t think I would have figured it out.  So good job.  Once again, Oliver gets some great reaction shots.  4 stars.

tl;dr – series wraps up this three parter with style and energy; probably the best adaptation of the series so far.  4 stars.
