The first three Movie Collection sets are all on Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Classic Collection, Vol. 2. Don't be fooled into buying duplicate DVDs.

I have seen so many of Suchets episodes and movies of Poirot, I can't review them all, but I would give them all five stars! I so enjoy his portrayal of the genius Belgian sleuth, Suchet is really perfect for the role. The stories are beautifully filmed and the actors are great. I hope they keep making them! I highly recommend these films and episodes to anyone who likes a cozy mystery with great actors and great scenery, enjoy!

David Suchet is the best Poirot ever. These are great videos and stories; however, Acorn Media really needs to start including closed captioning or subtitles. My wife, who is nearly totally deaf, likes the A&E versions because they include closed captioning. When we watch Acorn Media, I have to stop, explain what's going on and then continue on.
