Why can't you make a masterpiece?

Thank you BBC...It was a really good effort...the cast..the place..everything looked great and i really believed it was time for the perfect adaptation...

The final moments had to be epic! And they were not epic. Vera decides to kill herself and seconds later she is begging for her life??? Bad written!
You all keep saying that it is difficult to make a scene based on a letter but i dont agree...flashbacks can be used..
They should have shown the police investigating and not solving the puzzle...
The intention of the killer was to make the unsolvable crime! We should feel this! We should see how and why he picked his victims..we should see why he killed them in that specific order...we should see more important things...you had 3 hours! You could have done it!

Another chance wasted!
When you have the perfect material we demand for the perfect result...

She thought she would be hanged for the mass murders anyway, because she was the last survivor. When Wargrave appeared, she realized that she could either blame him or conspire with him to get away, so she wanted to live. Not bad writing at all.

Agree with this. They spent too much time on Vera's flashbacks, about half of which we could have done without. There must have been other people the killer considered "guilty". So I would have loved to see how he specifically singled out these individuals for his little social experiment and, as you said, why they were killed in that order.

Actually they had 3 minutes. That's how long you could credibly have Vera hanging there choking while the Judge explained how he done it.

In my opinion, the entire tv show was a crap.

You posted this twice and made the same grammatical error in both.
