Critics, per Wikipedia

Agatha Christie's grandson Mathew Prichard commented: "Personally, I regret very much that she [Agatha Christie] never saw David Suchet. I think that visually he is much the most convincing and perhaps he manages to convey to the viewer just enough of the irritation that we always associate with the perfectionist, to be convincing!" In 2008, the series was described by some critics as going "off piste", though not negatively, from its old format. It was praised for its new writers, more lavish productions, and a greater emphasis on the darker psychology of the novels. Significantly, it was noted for "Five Little Pigs" (adapted by Kevin Elyot) bringing out a homosexual subtext of the novel.…

    Agatha Christie's Poirot. He was obsessed. Every Thursday night in the 80s/early 90s was PBS's MYSTERY - a show that rebroadcast British procedurals, of which Poirot was a centerpiece. I could watch silently or shut the fuck up in my room. I chose to watch & earned a lifetime of Christie adoration.

    Oh yay! Agatha Christie's Poirot with David Suchet is coming to netflix on 24th of Jan. This is a wonderful series, Suchet is the best Poirot I have ever seen. Really hoping it will be all seasons and all episodes.😊 Now I just need netflix to get Murder She Wrote and the original Magnum series.

    17. Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989-2013, 13 seasons/series) David Suchet *is* Hercule Poirot to me. He is the Poirot I measure all Poirots against. Hugh Fraser as Hastings, Pauline Moran as Lemon, and Zoe Wanamaker as Ariadne Oliver are all A+ as well.

The stock market is the paragon of property and trusts, contracts, corporations and law, and the capitalist socio-economic system. The very existence of the stock market implies a society that has some or most of these concepts.

    I've been putting on British murder mysteries in the background while I work and have finally arrived at Agatha Christie's Poirot. What I love about this show is that 1) Poirot seems to be the only person in this world who understands that people lie and 2) he's a sassy lil bitch.

    Thank you LWT (London Weekend Television) and (eventually) ITV Studios for offering this magnificent television expédition! Poirot, brilliantly portrayed by Sir David Suchet is one of the best television shows in the world, ever! Even Agatha Christie's books are not as good as the writing in this show (thank you Poirot writers!).
