Would I Like Poirot?
I like Monk, Columbo, and Netflix has some Poirot, would i also like this show? And is it ok to start with season seven, or should i watch some other ones before season seven?
shareLooks like Netflix has removed the show but I thought you deserved a response to this anyway.
I enjoy the series quite a bit. If you typically enjoyed British mysteries and period pieces, then you will probably like Poirot. If that kind of thing is a turn off for you though, you probably won't.
One thing to know is that the series takes something of a turn in terms of tone and style around the early 00s. The earlier seasons are lighter and have more humor. The later seasons are more serious, some would even say dour. A lot of fans were turned off by this, though honestly, I think I actually prefer the later seasons and their more cinematic quality to the earlier seasons.
A lot of episodes are actually on YouTube, though the quality varies depending on the upload. There are a couple of other streaming services that are currently streaming SOME episodes (but I don't think any service has all thirteen seasons right now) like AcornTV and BritBox.
Here's a very short trailer:
