Poirot

Poirot, also known as Agatha Christie's Poirot, is a British mystery drama series produced for television that aired on ITV between 1989 and 2013. It is based on the Agatha Christie stories about Hercule Poirot, an eccentric but nevertheless very sharp Belgian police detective, portrayed by English actor David Suchet (Oppenheimer, The Way We Live Now). Each episode is based on a novel or short story by Christie that featured Poirot, and consequently in each episode Poirot is both the main detective in charge of the investigation of a crime, which usually concerns a murder, and the main character who is at the centre of most of the action. After 13 seasons and 70 episodes, Poirot as a TV series covered every major literary work by Agatha Christie that featured the eponymous detective, giving it a historical place in British television.
