O that sound realy anoying. I stopped watching the adaptation after the murder on the orient expres because I couldn't stand watching poirot feel guilty about letting the killers go. It would be so out of caracter for him to do that considering the people he let go or commit suicide in the past. I do like the series but the extra dram a gets on my nerves.

Yes, it felt quite OOC to me, too. Nevertheless, The Orient Express is one of my favourite episodes of all times *sighs* Go figure.

I think the creators started getting tired of the series. The last episodes were all quality productions, but none of them were brilliant. Just, decent and mediocre (and the extra drama was a lazy plot device). So, unlike the OP of the Poirot secret from yesterday, I am thankful that this show is over - I'll always remember it fondly without having to wince at the memory of the parts that were genuinely bad (the way fans of some other long-ish shows do).

I would never trust anyone to produce original Poirot storylines. The purpose of this series was to be a screen version of Christie's books (with some added twists), which is why it makes perfect sense for Curtain to be the last Suchet Poirot production. Let somebody else do Poirot pastiches; as long as it is not a part of Agatha Christie's Poirot, I care not.

I did not mind the drama that much, but I see how it could make the series completely unwatchable were it to become more prominent.
