It's available on Acorn TV. We subscribe through Amazon Channels for $4.99 a month. I think they offer a free 1 month trial, too.

This is good to know, because I already subscribe to Acorn for Poirot!

It's the banter between them that I remember fondly from the books, too. I cannot remember a single mystery, tho.

I remember those that made it into the TV series -- which does contain the best of the bunch, IMHO.

But, yeah, it's definitely the banter that makes the Tommy & Tuppence mysteries work (and fun).

Tommy & Tuppence were what I was expecting/hoping for from Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man.

That is definitely true!
