Poirot: Taken at the Flood (2006)
I had been looking forward to the screening of this episode and i wasn't let down.
I honestly enjoyed this episode and it finished of the 3/3 very nicely. Yes they are don't a little different to the series of the last decade or so. However, this changes were welcome by me and added a new dimension to the show. The characters are so well played and the guilty seem all the more real and frightening. In this episode we see a bit more of Poirot's passionate side, the side of him that loves life and hates anything that tries to or does end it.
As always Poirot is played excellently by Mr Suchet, and I'm always impressed at how well this seemingly physically weak man (the character Poirot)comes across as a strong willed and potent person if ever to cross him with that he hates the most, taking life.
As I said above, i thought the guilty seemed more frightening. This is I think because they appear evil, as well as cunning. At times throughout the show I couldn't help feel the Poirot himself was in danger, which in past series of Poirot this feeling for the character hasen't really appeared.
I hope that the last 3 episodes, including this one are released on DVD if they arn't already. I'd be quite happy to own a copy.
