Karty na stół (S10E02)

Were it not for a few of Hercule's divine escapades and smug snorts, this would be a rather boring salon detective story with crazy motivation and a troubled ending. Even though I didn’t want to, most of the time I choked on the faint characters and affected conversations. I think that amongst the stories on the level of "a party at a weirdo’s house with murder instead of dessert", this one is desperately average. Half a star for the traditionally great Suchet.

Such a quite classic episode, which is quite pleasantly spiced up by the fact that there can be a killer here, as a large number of people who gather at a party have actually killed someone in the past. Poirot is unsure, but of course, he will solve it. These new episodes have an interesting, creamy color palette, which I really like. (13.05.2015)
