Poirot: The Million Dollar Bond Robbery (1991)
Terrible Adaptation of the novel
I am not one of those complaining all the time if a sentence from a book is missing in a film. In fact I was not even aware what the story of the written novel was. But the story of the film adaptation is so bad that I simply couldn't believe that Agatha Christie wrote it. So I checked synopsis of the novel and I suggest everyone to do the same.
They are completely different. The actual written story sounds interesting and would make a much better film. Instead we get this completely unbelievable story with some of the worst last 5 minutes of the series.
What bank would entrust so much money to a gambling addict? His fiancée stole the key and what happens to her? Nothing. He gambles whole nights on the most important journey of his career and as a punishment he... gets promoted?! Somehow his promotion also solves the gambling addiction. Look at that happy couple, how cute...
This episode is insulting my grey cells.
Foyle's War: Killing Time (2010)
Disappointing continuation of the series
I thoroughly enjoyed all the seasons prior to this one. You couldn't have mistaken the style with anything else. Then the first episode of this season comes and it got me scratching my head. Not really Foyle's war at all, but I was hoping it was just a misstep. A temporary failure, waiting to erupt from the ashes like a phoenix... not so.
Instead the next episode, Killing Time, turned out to be a disgrace that made me not watch anything coming after it. The hope is lost. It's just another cheap attempt at virtue signalling.
Foyle has become a cartoon character and the series has turned into a modern day Marvel comic. Shame.
Inspector Morse: The Settling of the Sun (1988)
One of the worst Morse episodes
It's quite unbelievable what I saw. There were moments where I was asking myself whether I was watching a prank. The acting is cringe-worthy, the dialogue is so bad it is literally grotesque. The sound is badly managed and camera looks, as mentioned in other reviews, like a student is failing an exam. Fortunately the screenwriter didn't work on any other episode and the director did only two other episodes, one of them rated as the worst Morse episode on IMDB.
