Context: I've been sick, so I binged 《民国大侦探》, which is a Chinese adaptation of Poirot mysteries. Over all, the quality of the show is OK. They adapted some pretty classic novels and even managed to make a fairly meh Cat Among the Pidgeons more interesting by injecting the feminist clash of the '20s into the girls' school setting. (I honestly found Cat Among the Pidgeons kind of a missed opportunity for Agatha Christie to really explore the sexism towards women in British society at the time, so was glad to see the Chinese adaptation use the arc to explore how the clash between Western and traditional philosophies of women's role in society was playing out during a very messy time in Chinese history.)
On the other hand, the ending of the series involved a nemesis and a mystery challenge, which are always a death knell for detective mysteries. I'm of the opinion that detective mysteries really should do away with nemesis trope, because the mysteries associated with the nemesis are always kind of bleh to read. For me, the biggest draw of detective mysteries is not the cat-and-mouse game between the detective and murderer, but rather the more human exploration of the various elements that drive perfectly normal people to commit murder (or other crimes). This is why I find mysteries that overly focuses on the "puzzle" aspect to be extra boring and the "nemesis arc" is almost always focused on the deductive battle rather than on the victim and the very human emotions that results in a murder tragedy.
Anyway, that's the context.
( Now for the ranting about conspiracy theories. )
I...there is no facepalm emoji big enough for me to express how frustrated I am at the multi-page screeds about why censors are the reason a Poirot adaptation lacks BL. It's so brain meltingly stupid. I can't.
