Sam Neill's 3-Part Agatha Christie Series Makes Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot Movies Look Tame

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

While Kenneth Branagh’s HerculePoirot movies might be a lot of fun, they never recaptured the darker edge of some Agatha Christie novels as well as one earlier miniseries starring Sam Neill. Most cozy crime movies and shows advertise their creative debt to Agatha Christie, and, indeed, the Poirot novels and Miss Marple books can be a lot of fun. However, it is worth noting that this isn’t the entire story of the author’s oeuvre. A lot of Christie’s writing is surprisingly dark, misanthropic, and brutal, with twists that betray a pretty dim view of human nature.
