Finished watching Murder Is Easy. This one has Benedict Cumberbatch, whom my sister has such a crush on that she even has a photo of herself with Benedict Cumberbatch taken in Sydney. I enjoyed this episode because it has graceful montages and is relaxing to the eyes. Again, though, it has two performers who also played supporting roles in the Poirot series: Lyndsey Marshal and Russell Tovey, both the kind of superb actors who will never become stars but will always give dimension to their roles, no matter how small.

The flaw of the book and the movie is that everything is too contrived. No, murder is never easy. Anything can go wrong except in a writer's mind.
