Poirot ottaa vastentahtoisesti hoidettavakseen tapauksen, jossä hänen tulee etsiä uutta kokkia rouva Toddille. Hänet vapautetaan tehtävästä, joka herättää etsivän mielenkiinnon. Alkuperäinen kokki näyttää kadonneen verrattain hämärissä olosuhteissa. (SF Film Fin.)
Arvostelut (2)
The first case of the grey brain cells starring David Suchet offers a somewhat more sober performance with the main character, a Belgian with a characteristic moustache, whom many people take for a Frenchman and who can playfully crack even the most difficult case, but has a real problem with hammering an ordinary nail. Even though the crime in this story takes place almost out of sight, it still doesn't lack a certain amount of suspense and a good plot. In short, the beginning of a modern-day Poirot, which is followed by better pieces, but still a delight.

Since I had already seen the last episode, it was time to watch the first one as well. This series set a high standard right from the start, which shows not only how good the chosen direction was, but also that the source material is so excellent that there's a lot to be gained from it. The fact that it’s a TV adaptation doesn't matter at all here, nor does the time period in which the story takes place because it all works together. Moreover, Poirot is a truly unique character.
