We bring you the complete 13 season series of Agatha Christie's (Hercule) Poirot which appeared regularly on TV
previously and which we were happy to donate a few copies of to the local library branch in our neighbourhood.
1920 X 1080p episodes where applicable (wide screen picture format episodes that is) while the first 6 seasons
are full 1080p depth but not as wide in size as that is how the picture was formatted for the earlier episodes involved.
4000k video bitrate (Many episodes are at full movie length
224k Stereo audio in Dolby AC3 format
This is an enjoyable Detective storyline series and popular certainly, although Peter Ustinov who plays
the role of Hercule Poirot in movie theater versions of othero Poirot mysteries made for the large screen
was the better man for the role had it been better scripted for his character than that which is portrayed by
David Suchet as scripted that is. Anyway, its nice for family viewing as it does show some lack of respect and
general decency towards the nice folks in Britain by the character portrayed by David Suchet as he displays
arrogance insensitivity (to the point of seeming neanderthal should I say - in one scene he causes a British
army officer to commit suicide with a revolver, after Suchet's character berates him to the point of inane
on matters of so-called integrity and chivalry - the poor (British) chap could take no more and takes a quick
exit "on the spot" to end the pain it would appear.
In another earlier episode Suchet speaks condescendingly to a German british woman (who shows much spirit
and human intelligence with wit) and he suggests to her that he agrees that she is "intelligent" The dear woman
in question retorts that "he is probably going to want to be handing out Diploma's next" to those he ultimately
"approves of" despite their rejection of his feigned idea of superior intellect in his own mind thinking only
of himself despite lack of merit in most part and seemingly amidst an awkward sense of rejection of this failing
from those around him in many of the episodes I figure. Then there's the insane other comments he makes such
as complaining that the two boiled eggs served at a restaurant for his breakfast were "imperfect" as they weren't
of completely equal size. Oh well neither is a brain which stoops to this level of inanity in displaying ideas of so-called
'perfectability" in what is normal and natural enough to accept on face value as a good enough way to be.
All that said, there's many interesting stories (its Agatha Christie after all for gods sakes) interesting
banter at times for shure, and elaborate sets and expensive seeming production expenditures in sets
and costumes too. Anyway all our folks in Europe and elsewhere that are drawn to this material
should have at least this version for enjoyment and edification through a sharing of ideas on the
characters involved, most particularly that of "Poirot" himself - mainly a fish out of water without a doubt
as should be the verdict rendered I suggest wholeheartedly. amen.
Thanks for seeding
