Paranoid (2016)
Terrible female characters
I put 5 stars because I am realistic, and you can't expect every tv crime to be flawless, it is entertainment and it is watchable.
All the female characters are AWFUL: the British detective, the enlightened one, the mother of the young detective, all overacting as if it wasn't enough having a mediocre script...the German detective is quite amusing, I guess she is a better actress.
Another problem is the way they stigmatize mental health care, even if it is not meant to be educational I wasn't comfortable with their approach, but I guess that is trendy nowadays, virtue vs science...
If you are bored, watch it, and then come and post a review :)
Poirot: Murder in Mesopotamia (2001)
Murder in Mesopotamia??
Worst adaptation ever! If screenwriters have such wonderful ideas about how Christie should have written her stories, they are more than welcome to write their own books! This story was nicely narrated by a nurse and Poirot was supposed to enter the scene a little bit later. Hastings did not appear in the original. I gather that all the unfortunate changes of this adaptation are for viewers to "enjoy" the duo. If you consider the narrative structure of the original, the changes were quite important, and they totally failed to capture the novel's atmosphere . Really, this show changing the endings, the new adaptations of Miss Marple doing the same thing and even the Poirot and Marple manga!!! I guess the grandson has to bleed the copyrights dry before they expire...
