Poirot: Five Little Pigs

Since I enjoyed The Hollow last week I watched Five Little Pigs this week. If you are looking for a country house setting and characters acting like they are in Gosford Park, you'll probably prefer The Hollow. But if you are more into the whole Rashomon-and-confrontation thing Poirot specializes in (interviewing the suspects individually, getting different perspectives on the same events, and then bringing everyone together at the scene of the crime to unveil the real killer) you'll likely prefer Five Little Pigs. Neither is brilliant, but both are good light entertainment. Oh, if figuring it out matters to you, if you watch these for the puzzle, you'll probably prefer Five Little Pigs. A key bit of information in The Hollow doesn't come until the end.
