Agatha Christie’s grandson called Suchet’s performance “meticulous” and added that his grandmother would have loved David’s Poirot. I agree I can’t see anyone else in the role.
So far I’ve only seen Albert Finney and Kenneth Branaugh do it, and it just... Finney was too raucous and Branaugh was just... I don’t know. Not right somehow. That role belongs to Suchet now. No one else should even try it. LOL!
Christie had said that she was getting tired of Poirot but kept writing stories for him because the readers demanded it.
