DVD Reviews of Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Definitive Collection
DVD Review: Overpriced but Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first Poirot set that I purchased, and although I think all of these DVDs are overpriced, I think the quality of the episodes is excellent. The quality of the transfer of these episodes is better than those of the "Classic Collections". Thus, I recommend first Poirot DVD buyers get the Definitive Collection first, although it should be noted that the episodes selected for this set are not as highly rated as many of the other episodes (see below).
I have listed all of the Poirot episodes below. The first number is the season in the format Season #.Episode #, the next number is the IMDB rating (10 is highest) and the third number gives the collection (C1=Classic Collection (36 episodes), C2=Classic Collection vol. 2, D=Definitive Collection (The collection reviewed here)).
These three sets cover a significant fraction of the available episodes as shown below. What is nice is there is no overlap, provided you limit yourself to these three collections. However, there are a number of sets called "Classic Collections" which makes things difficult. The two referenced here do not have set numbers, but rather volume numbers. The best deal is volume 1, which has 36 episodes. However, the Classic Collection vol. 2 has the episodes with the highest ratings.
All of these DVDs are overpriced based on the quality of the DVD conversions. I love Poirot, so I have purchased two of these (definitive and C1), and am patiently waiting for C2 to drop in price.
