One of the great classics of TV mystery. I adore it. But Acorn's price here ($179) is a huge ripoff. I've seen the 36 short Poirots on sale for as little as $35. Be patient and buy it somewhere else.

Disc 1
Mrs. McGinty’s Dead
When a jury convicts James Bentley (Joe Absolom, Vincent) for the murder of his landlady, even the police superintendent (Richard Hope, The Bill) believes they’ve got the wrong man. At the superintendent’s behest, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) begins a search for new evidence. He bumps into an old friend, mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver (Zoë Wanamaker, My Family), who lends her woman’s intuition to the investigation. It seems that many of the victim’s former employers have “a skeleton in the armoire,” as Poirot puts it. But when an unknown assailant makes an attempt on the detective’s life, the case takes on greater urgency.

Disc 2
Cat Among the Pigeons
At the Meadowbank School, Miss Bulstrode (Harriet Walter, Atonement) counts girls from England’s finest families among her young charges. And she treats them all as equals—even the royalty, like Princess Shaista of Ramat, a political refugee under constant threat from revolutionaries in her country. Yet, to the headmistress’s friend Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), the school seems a world in microcosm, full of “hopes, dreams, fears, and secrets.” The famous detective delves into those secrets after a vicious murder shocks the students and staff. As the attacks escalate, he aims to find the perpetrator before more students leave and threaten the school’s survival.

Disc 3
Super Sleuths: Poirot
Behind the scenes of the beloved series.
Cast, crew, and an array of experts explore the widespread appeal of Agatha Christie’s famed detective. Featuring interviews with stars David Suchet (Hercule Poirot), Philip Jackson (Chief Inspector Japp), Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings), and Pauline Moran (Miss Lemon), as well as longtime producer Brian Eastman, director Ed Bennett, writer Anthony Horowitz, and many others.

Disc 1
Murder on the Orient Express

Poirot searches for a killer on a snowbound train.

While traveling from Istanbul to London aboard the luxurious Orient Express, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) encounters a ruthless businessman who offers him a large sum to expose the person threatening his life. Poirot declines, not caring for the man or his money. But when he is stabbed to death, the detective is determined to find the killer. With the help of an amateur sleuth (Samuel West, Van Helsing), Poirot begins to piece together the train of events leading up to the murder.

Disc 2
Third Girl

Poirot tries to clear a woman framed for murder.

Distressed young heiress Norma Restarick comes to see Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) about “a murder she might have committed.” The detective consults an old acquaintance, crime novelist Ariadne Oliver (Zoë Wanamaker, My Family), who lives in the same building as the young woman and her two roommates. When Norma’s childhood nanny is found dead, apparently by suicide, Poirot believes he has identified the victim. Next he must deduce the killer, while Norma’s family fears for her sanity.

Disc 3
Appointment with Death

Poirot seeks the killer of a woman many wanted dead

Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) accompanies an archaeological expedition searching for the skull of John the Baptist in the Syrian Desert. What the team actually finds is a more recent corpse: the body of Lady Boynton, wife of expedition leader Lord Boynton (Tim Curry, The Rocky Horror Picture Show). The woman had made many enemies during her life, and Poirot has no shortage of suspects. He digs through layers of history to discover who had motive enough to kill.

Have the entire Christie/Poirot collection, this "movie collection" did not meet my expectations, I was disappointed. David Suchet was excellent as usual but the portrayal of Poirot was over the top and harsh. I missed the additions of Hastings, Miss Lemon and Insp. Japp. Poirot is getting older but not mellower.

The character development of Hercule Poirot as portrayed by David Suchet is remarkable. As Poirot ages, religion and spirituality are coming to the forefront of his thoughts. He struggles with his beliefs in light of the murder and what he uncovers. In the end, he makes a very difficult choice and the viewer is privy to an exceptional and heartfelt performance. Bravo to David Suchet.

Disc 1
Three Act Tragedy
 
DEADLY DINNERS WHET POIROT’S INVESTIGATIVE APPETITE
 
While visiting the Cornish coast, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) attends a dinner at which one of the guests suddenly dies. An inquest finds no evidence of foul play. But Poirot’s host, renowned stage actor Sir Charles Cartwright, thinks otherwise, and another death at a later party with the same guests seems to confirm his suspicions. Together with Sir Charles and his vivacious friend Egg, Poirot applies “la technique classique”—eliminating the suspects, one by one.
 
 
Disc 2
The Clocks
 
POIROT IDENTIFIES A MAN WHOSE TIME RAN OUT
 
While trying to unmask a mole at Dover’s military base, Lt. Colin Race enlists Poirot to help him aid a pretty secretary apparently framed for murder. Called to a residence on a quiet street for a temporary typing job, she found only a man’s corpse lying on the floor. No one can identify the body, find a murder weapon, or explain the presence of four strange clocks—none of which belongs in the home, and all of which stopped at 4:13.
 
 
Disc 3
Hallowe’en Party
 
POIROT LOOKS FOR GHOSTS FROM A YOUNG GIRL’S PAST
 
Wholesome fun at Woodleigh Common turns harrowing when a children’s Halloween party ends in the murder of 13-year-old Joyce Reynolds. Poirot is summoned by an old acquaintance, crime novelist Ariadne Oliver, to help in the investigation. He seizes on a clue: immediately before her death, Joyce had boasted of having witnessed a murder several years before, although she didn’t realize it was a murder at the time. Although everyone pooh-poohs her claim, Poirot knows that “old sins cast long shadows.”
