Agatha Christie's Poirot Reviews & Ratings

Great performances from British actors in a different but really tasty detective series.

Loved Hercule. So funny and smart. It was a great show, dearly missed.

David Suchet is amazing as Poirot. Just love the details in his work.

I've absolutely loved this show since I was a kid and it aired on PBS and A&E. Favorite episode is Five Little Piggies. David Suchet is perfection as Poirot.

Very good mysteries crime show

Whether you're an Agatha Christie fan or not, the entire Poirot series starring David Suchet is fabulous. All you need to be is a fan of the mystery genre. This is BBC at its finest, setting the period to perfection, the stories fully flushed out, and David Suchet as the embodiment of Hercule Poirot. Truly fantastic character acting, it was a series that could have gone on for many more season, had Agatha Christie chosen to give us more!

As good as Sherlock Holmes

This is simply a treat for any detective-lover. David Suchet is brilliant, and you get to catch glimpses of other famous British actors along the way (of so many!). The show is beautifully fit into the time period, I'm always enjoying the art deco interiors, beautiful cars and costumes. Definitely a must-see for all Agatha Christie and detective fans.

Poirot is the man

I grew up watching this and I loved it as a child, but now that I've rewatched a little, I'm disappointed (mostly in the script). Suchet is still lovely as ever as Poirot, but there's just something off with the over-dramatics of the other actors (I haven't researched it fully but it feels like a lot of the actors are coming out of the theater or soap operas) and the unnecessary repetition in the dialogue that seems to kill time more than utilize it.

Tl;dr: I'm not into this like I used to be, but it's not bad for background TV when needed. Suchet is still a strong Poirot.
