Agatha Christie's Poirot (Seasons 1–13)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989) is the British mystery series you can watch online on iFILM. David Suchet stars as the celebrated Belgian detective, all waxed moustache and infallible "little grey cells."

A former police officer turned private investigator, Hercule Poirot has settled into a London flat that doubles as his office. Helping him: the loyal Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser), his precise secretary Miss Lemon (Pauline Moran), and a perpetually baffled Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard (Philip Jackson). From hushed English country houses to a steamer on the Nile, Poirot untangles poisonings, disappearances and murders that leave everyone but him stumped.

The achievement is almost without parallel. Suchet played Poirot for twenty-five years, from 1989 to 2013, and filmed every Christie novel and story featuring the detective — a rare case of one actor closing out an entire literary canon. His fussiness, vanity and sudden flashes of warmth made this the definitive screen Poirot. Ideal if you want unhurried, classic detective work with little on-screen gore.
