I had forgotten about this series until I saw your post, so am now caught up with the first two episodes.
I haven't seen (nor do I want to) the Branaugh version of Poirot, but I was pleasantly surprised to like Malkovich's version here. I think David Suchet will always be Poirot for me but at least I've stopped comparing the two.
Also, I did eventually get past seeing Ron Weasley here -- I think the period appearance helps, he definitely looks older and reminds me more of Inspector Japp from David Suchet's version. Moaning Myrtle never seems to age at all!
I haven't read the books but it's interesting to see that we know right away who the killer is. I'm still waiting for the reveal about Poirot's past -- just who is he really?
