Plots(1)
In this elegant installment from the series, the ever-chivalrous Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) is rewarded with more than just gratitude when he helps a woman alight from a cab outside his dentist's office. When the popular dentist is gunned down, a murderous chain of events ensues and a broken shoe buckle becomes the key to solving a deadly web of deception that only Poirot can unravel. (official distributor synopsis)

Elephants Can Remember (2013) (S13E01)
Seeing new episodes of Poirot years later is like meeting an old friend who never tires and never disappoints. I hadn't read the source material for this film, so the story kept pleasantly surprising me. Everything was in place - a great atmosphere, David Suchet (understandably) excellent, the lovely Zoë Wanamaker as his equal partner... I suspect this farewell to the Belgian master detective is going to be a big one.

The Big Four (2013) (S13E02)
Murder after murder, a mysterious villainous organization and a nostalgic reunion between old friends, of whom (apart from Poirot, of course) we most enjoy the Inspect... I mean Deputy Commissioner Japp. The story is one of the slightly weaker ones (when I read the book once upon a time, it seemed to me more suitable for Sherlock Holmes than for Hercule Poirot), and at times it took me a while to figure out who was being talked about and who was who, but I can't give it less than four stars.

Dead Man's Folly (2013) (S13E03)
The best episode of the last Poirot series so far (and the previous ones weren't bad either), typical and with everything we love about this Belgian. The final "Bon." was brilliant.

The Labours of Hercules (2013) (S13E04)
The linking of the two cases and the coincidence that led the despondent Poirot back on the trail of the mysterious Marascaud seemed to me to be... Odd. I'm thinking that the missing maid in The Labours of Hercules almost didn't need to be there and nothing overly major would have happened. However, I was pleased with the Countess's return, David Suchet handled everything with his usual grace, the atmosphere of the high mountain hotel was appropriately cramped and the final unraveling was very nicely delivered.__P.S. I have to complain about the Czech dubbing. Given that Vladislav Beneš usually dubs Captain Hastings, I would not have expected a completely different character to speak in his voice in this part, in which Hastings does not appear. Weird.

Curtain - Poirot's Last Case (2013) (S13E05)
A perfect farewell to a perfect detective. I was really looking forward to this finale, I knew roughly what to expect from it, and it still surprised me more than once with how great it was.
