Coco Sea on Agatha Christie's Poirot

10/10 · Jan 17, 2024

It’s a genuine pleasure to acknowledge London Weekend Television and, later, ITV Studios for creating such an exceptional television series! Poirot, with Sir David Suchet in the lead role, stands out as one of the finest television programs ever made—even Agatha Christie's original stories don't quite match the quality of the writing here (thanks to the show’s writers!). You haven't been truly astonished until you’ve experienced this elegant, suspenseful, well-crafted, and superbly acted production! The Art Deco style became appealing largely due to the series’ beautifully designed sets. The music perfectly enhances the refined, stylish, and nostalgic atmosphere surrounding Poirot’s murder mysteries. The entire cast delivers incredible performances! Poirot's companions are delightful characters. There's the comically bold Inspector Japp (Jackson). Then there’s the charmingly shy Captain Hastings (Fraser). I particularly enjoy Miss Lemon (Moran), who is dedicated, organized, and genuinely kind. And finally, there’s the amusing Ariadne Oliver (Wanamaker). They show respect for each other; worry together through the confusion and horror of murder investigations; still find ways to laugh; and always remember to appreciate the good in the world. Their professional connections and personal bonds serve as an example for everyone. Sir David Suchet embodies Hercule Poirot perfectly! His portrayal is as flawless as Poirot's detective work. Mr. Suchet’s performance is so convincing that it’s difficult to imagine anyone else playing the part—and he maintained this role for approximately twenty-five years—especially considering that he isn't French, but Belgian (it's important to remember that!). The way Mr. Suchet moves; meticulously tends to his mustache; reacts to the unpleasantness in the world with the same desire for order and cleanliness as many of us do; insists on quality in everything, like any consumer; and uses his “little gray cells” is remarkably authentic! I long for the roadsters and fashion of the early 20th century. I miss traveling in luxury with Poirot around the globe, discovering new places and attempting to comprehend both the wonderful and the terrible together, and seeing Life through his intelligent but somewhat lonely perspective. A trip to Abyssinia in one of those cars!
