I am simply adding to the already list of hugely positive reviews there are for After the Funeral. It's a very good Poirot novel, but there are so many key elements here that make this production so particularly fine. In terms of setting the house used looks so good, it's so in keeping for the period, the music is fantastic too, there have been a few occasions where the music has been too loud and too obtrusive, not here it fits in well. As it should be though, this one is all about the acting, and it's flawless, there is some fun provided by Timothy and Maud, there is the serious side from Michael Fassbender, the sadness from Susannah, but it's the villain that's the star of the piece, I won't name them just in case, but they are are totally brilliant, and steals the show. As far as Poirot is concerned they don't come much better then this one.
