DVD Reviews of Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

DVD Review: Couldn't be happier!
Summary: 5 Stars

Like many other reviewers , I had put off this purchase and now am kicking myself as to why! (must not have been using my 'little grey cells" ) I took the plunge for this set, plus Vol 2 and also the A & E movie collection and now have an embarrassment of riches. David Suchet is a wonderful actor and THE definitive Poirot. Some have complained about the quality of the transfers, but bear in mind these were shot on 16mm film stock which seems to have faded a bit over time. I lowered my brightness and increased my color saturation just a bit to view these discs and they look more than watchable to me. Most certainly NOT transferred from old VHS tapes as some reviews have said. Picture Quality issues aside, these mysteries are the real deal! If you've been on the fence about ordering this, just do it. You won't regret it. I also thought the packaging was very nice and I felt as if I did get my moneys worth, which is more than I can say for some other boxed sets I have purchased over the years.

DVD Review: No Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars

If you like the Agatha Christie stories and/or you're familiar with the Poirot TV series, you won't be disappointed. Very nicely packaged, this set certainly met my expectations. These productions are so beautifully crafted, and David Suchet is so superb in the role of Poirot, that I'll watch these for years to come, even though I know how each case is solved.

DVD Review: My Dad Loves It
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this set for my dad and mom for Christmas because they enjoy the mysteries typically aired on BBC. I can't speak of the content, but my dad told me how he was enjoying the set.

DVD Review: My wife's favorite series
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my wife's favorite detective series. I like it too. It made a great birthday present

DVD Review: Great Entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars

Beautifully done period pieces set in the mid-1930s England... complete with automobiles of the period, dress, and appropriate Art Deco touches. But the bonus is the acting. They are all "believable" and bring Poirot to life, complete with little gray cells and firmly waxed moustache. This is family entertainment that is not "painful" to watch and anyone over the age of 10 will "get it". One must really get the whole set to become a true Poirot afficianado... Even if you have never read any of Agatha Christie, you will enjoy these. Sure, some of it may be corny... but so were the 1930s.

Description of Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection

A literary legend became a TV phenomenon when DAVID SUCHET took on the role of Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie's most famous sleuth. Suchet's Poirot became the most-watched detective in the history of the PBS Mystery! series and a hit all over again on A&E. Now, all 36 one-hour episodes from the series are available in this 12-disc Classic Collection. Using his "little grey cells" and aided by the affable Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser), Poirot unravels the thorniest cases without mussing a hair of his famously sculpted mustache. Lush art deco period details and scripts infused with delicious Christie wit make these mysteries irresistible.
