Summary: Poirot 12
Comment: This is the last of the 1 -12 set. Each DVD has three cases with the King of Clubs being my favorite on this set. David Suchet is Poirot and watching him in this role is very enjoyable.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: running out of believable plots
Comment: The British television industry has such an appetite for detective stories that the script writers are running out of quality, believable plots. This may not bother you if you view this series to enjoy the eccentric characters. Others will have to use their "suspended disbelief" mode of viewing to not get disappointed. Fans of the original Agatha Christie novels will be disappointed. One example of the disbelief being needed is when the police, the medical examiner, and Poirot fail to examine a crime scene and corpse for basic physical evidence, such as bruising, powder burns, and bullet trajectories, and jump to the wrong conclusion.
This set of programs comes from the time when British television viewers started complaining that the BBC programming was being dumbed down.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Armed with only his "little grey cells," Hercule Poirot wrestles evil to the ground without mussing so much as a hair of his famously sculpted moustache. Agatha Christie’s eccentric but endearing Belgian detective made her the bestselling author of her day. In this British production starring David Suchet, Poirot became a television phenomenon, capturing the hearts of millions on both PBS and A&E. Set in and around elegant, upper-crust 1930s London, the series also stars Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings, Philip Jackson as Chief Inspector Japp, and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon.
The King of Clubs—When Poirot and Hastings confront a murder in the movie-making community, a playing card found near the body is their only clue. The Dream—A wealthy man asks Poirot to investigate even though nothing has happened but a recurring bad dream. The Incredible Theft—Poirot takes on a case of national importance when secret plans for a military combat aircraft disappear.
