Here's a heart-wrenching spoiler.
To put it in a few words, in this TV series, the episodes that have not been over-adapted are still very good-looking, the pictures are very beautiful, and the scenery layout is particularly beautiful.
Most of the actors use too much force, but considering the large number of appearances in each episode, it is better for the actors to have distinct characteristics. I don’t know if you are like me. When you read Christie’s novels or movies, you often have to go back and see who is who. Even if several characters are merged like "The Nile Massacre", it does not affect the plot.
Therefore, the excessive makeup and exaggerated acting skills of this TV series are basically not shortcomings.
Here I want to talk about the issue of screenwriters, why some episodes are clever and some are not at all. When you point out the murderer, you spit blood on the screen and say: "Trick me!"

In the first episode of the first episode, I believe that all those who ran to watch this drama in high spirits vomited three liters of blood. What the hell, finally a lily affair.
The plot of the original work is as follows: The son-in-law of the old rich man is very short of money, but the old rich man does not know it. The old rich man's daughter died early, and his son-in-law's inheritance rights were relatively reluctant. He was fascinated and married the dancer Josie. It is reasonable to say that he has nothing to do with the deceased wife's family. It's just that the rich old man doesn't know about his remarriage and doesn't mind sharing the money with him. As a result, Josie's cousin Ruby appeared, and the rich old man fell in love with Ruby and wanted to give the inheritance to this goddaughter and little lover. The Josie and his wife were so angry that they joined forces to make a double corpse case.
This very smooth storyline has been changed to lace edge ah lace edge on TV!
I don't know what kind of brain the screenwriter uses, but I suddenly feel that Josie is a good match for the old rich man's daughter-in-law. There are many movies and TV dramas adapted from the original work. I have never seen a detective novel changed to a murderer! What do you think about this?
As a result, the relationship between the son-in-law and Josie that was previously foreshadowed was useless, and the relationship between the daughter-in-law and Josie suddenly came, and the readers were overturned at once.
If you think this plot is terrifying, it's not that you have homophobia, it's that the plot is really terrifying. I, a lily lover, can't stand it.
I was so curious what kind of screenwriter could have written this script, so I looked it up and found out that he also wrote a gay movie called "No Night is Too Long". He's a douchebag at all!
In the fourth episode of the second season, the same trick was repeated, and a pair of lesbians appeared inexplicably.
However, this episode is completely original. On the basis of the novel, only the names of the people (most of them) are retained. The plot and background of the characters have nothing to do with the original!
If you write a fan, just write a fan. Is it necessary to deconstruct a novel to make a fan? That bloody father-son plot... In the novel, the killer is the victim's housekeeper, the fat man who feeds the eagle, who simply kills for money. Emily and the reporter are detectives. This one was not originally one of the Miss Marple series, so Emily played a lot of roles. She followed the investigation and found the key evidence Boots. According to the way of acting on TV, this girl is holding a pistol, and she is righteously interrogating people around what is it? In the end, the reporter fell in love with Emily, but she was still with her fiancé, the dude, and did not elope with her female sympathizer. That golden-haired playboy is the victim's nephew, not an adopted son...
In short, you can adapt it. What is the purpose of changing the murderer?
What is the reason for adding a lesbian forcibly?
All in all, the general trend of the adaptation of this play is to change all murders for money into murders for love, as much as sensational as possible.
Let's see other outrageous plots. Just wanted to say, if you look somewhere and think, "That's all Agatha Christie is, the story isn't perfect." Most of it is the adaptation's fault, and it might be a lot more clever to read it in the novel.
