I highly recommend the television series, made by UK's ITV, starring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. It ran for 24 years! It is eminently watchable, especially in these pandemic times. And the opening music!

- skeptronus 6y agoAfter finishing watching Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes series, I have started watching Poirot. At first it didn't seem as striking to me as Sherlock Holmes(Holmes' and Poirot's character/style is very much different), but after a few episodes, I'm hooked up it, I must say. Highly recommend watching both of them.
- kadal 6y agoSo sad that netflix doesn't have it any more
- TimTheTinker 6y agoMy wife and I have been subscribed to acorn.tv for several years instead of Netflix. It has many eminently watchable shows, especially Poirot and Foyle’s War, my favorite.
- ra7 6y agoNetflix used to carry both a few years ago. It’s a shame not many know about Foyle’s War in the US. Another excellent piece of British television.
- dorfsmay 6y agoIt's available on google for between 3 and 25 $ per season. I just purchased the first season.
- Nux 6y agoTruly an excellent production! Great acting, music, recreation of the era, awesome attention to detail and of course delightful mysteries. It sets the bar very high, to the point it has alas kind of ruined "other Poirots" for me.
- duncanawoods 6y agoI do like Peter Ustinov's versions. Very different but delightful with a sense of humour. His "swimming" in Evil Under The Sun is a silly thing that has stuck with me forever.
- Nux 6y agoYes, I loved those films, as well (that's a funny scene indeed, hehe). Good thing I watched them before the David Suchet series.
- abhgh 6y agoVery enjoyable series, and David Suchet is stellar. It is also interesting to see some of the cast who went on to greater fame like Alice Eve, Peter Baelish and Talulah Riley; there are probably more I'm unable to remember right now.
- aquadrop 6y agoYes, excellent one. Especially first 8 season with all the initial actors. It worked great as our family dinner night series.

- parenthesis 6y agoFor me it went down the pan starting series 10. Too much `sexing-up' type deviation from the books; no more Hastings, Miss Lemon and Japp; I think they even stopped using the wonderful theme tune to which you refer. But, yes, before that, absolutely wonderful!
- shadowprofile77 6y agoYou mean after season 10? or after episode 10 in general?
- stan_rogers 6y agoIn the UK, "series" is used rather than "season", and it has more to do with a financial commitment to make a number of episodes than it does with, say, a year's run of programming. A series may extend over the course of more than one year, and there can be two series in a year.
- shadowprofile77 6y agoThanks. so I'm good to enjoy them up until season 10 then. Many more episodes. Haven't seen this show since childhood.
- Nux 6y agoYes, agreed, it has become a bit too serious and dark, still good, but definitely missed Hasting, Miss Lemon and Japp.
