In the film Murder on the Orient Express, Poirot is thrown off the train during a drunken rampage where he smears mustache oil all over his anus and gapes it broadly in the dining cart while ranting and raving about "orientals."

I was thinking of watching it. Is it good? Little Fires Everywhere was extremely good, except for the very end which was stupid and apparently a complete change of how the book ends.

I liked the episode where they're at an all girls school and there's a hunky gardener who turns out to be a secret agent and there's a foreign princess at the school who turns out to be a revolutionary and when she's found out she immediately switches from speaking posh to cockney even though she's not English.

Poirot is cool, I discovered the show relatively recently and have watched a couple of eps and read some stories. Imagine the work that went into that moustache, as well as mystery solving. "I am better than ze police." I can't imagine Poirot being anyone but himself. Set the show in 2050 and he'd still have the same appearance, habits and mannerisms.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:The David Suchet series kicks rear end OP The guy absolutely nails it as Poirot, and basically *is* the book character down to every quirk. And Japp is million times more interesting sidekick than Hastings. I watched the new John Malkovich one where the Poirot is a retired hasbeen, but my mind kept constantly going "that's not Poirot". They also changed Poirot's backstory to something that simply did not make sense at all. For a private eye who has a god-like talent to spot clues, errors and mismatching evidence.

David Suchet once held up filming to ring his wife because he couldn't remember how many sugars Poirot had in his tea. That's how dedicated he was to the character.

I have to admit is sincerity his very charming. I like the episode where he gets mad at some Italian mob guy for disrespecting a lady who later turns out (to the audience) to have been playing him the whole time, yet he punches out the mob guy after a cool car chase at the end of the episode.

i am willing to try out any detective show where the detective work isnt a literal superpower or effectively the same thing (dumb people are apparently ok with thinking smart people just visually rewind time and then play it forward to find out what must have happened)

It loving owned OP and ruined David Suchet for me forever, because I can't see him as anyone other than Poirot now. I should see if it streams somewhere.

I like it when they have stuff from history happening in the episodes like someone being mad at socialists in charge or making GBS threads on modernist architecture.

i don't think there will ever be a poirot adaptation to match the suchet series. on top of suchet being so excellent, the variable length tv movies were such a perfect format. it was kind of weird how in the later seasons they added an agatha christie stand-in as a recurring character, though.
