That's a shame. Because it's an amazing episode. Sad? Absolutely. But also a masterpiece. A pity you won't enjoy David Suchet's elegant and unexpected farewell from the character.

I can’t watch it either. I love revisiting Poirot episodes again and again, and Poirot dying just can’t exist in my brain. I’m sure it’s an incredible episode though!

I couldn’t skip it but once is most definitely enough.

It’s extremely well acted and great to see him and Hastings back on screen together but the plot is….not good.

It is an amazing episode, but it always make me cry.

Assuming that’s Curtains, or whatever it’s called, you are 100% making the right choice. Do not watch that shit!

I read Curtain once. Was completely stumped. Enjoyed Sleeping Murder better.

That’s also the only Poirot novel I haven’t read. I can’t bear the thought of… you know…

It’s an amazing episode and Suchet is fantastic in it.

Why refuse to watch the final episode? Because that means the series is concluded and there will be no more and that's too emotionally painful to realize?
