But his plans to start a new life didn’t last long as he’s robbed of the money by an unseen assailant. I'm hoping for a second series. We’ll find out in Sunday night’s big closer. This wasn’t the most surprising twist in the world, with the bushy-eyebrowed young investigator’s back story seeming somewhat forced from the get-go, his cancer and parental heritage serving only to explain his motivations and provide added connection to Baptiste. And while this modern-day Poirot is often one step ahead of the bad guys, this time he’d better watch those steps. Despite quickly tracking down young sex worker Natalie Rose, if anything, the ageing former police detective seems to be losing his touch a little and getting sloppy. The acting is as good as can be. Fantastic character, writing and stories.
And guess what? A tale of twists and turns set in a seedy Amsterdam can’t disguise our hero’s shortcomings.

Well, no. The suspense just keeps building and building and just never stops. God’s Own Country star Alec Secareanu, too, channels his dark side as Constantin, wielder of the chainsaw, who is wise to Baptiste’s interest in his business propositions, and has little patience for allowing himself to be watched.

When someone at the door says, “Hi, I’m here to read the gas meter…” Lock the door. Season 1 Review: More a bacchanal of misery with an all-you-can-eat buffet of death, pain and trafficked girls.
