Better detective. More professional, kind. Not a loving druggie. Didn't need a male helper/lover to hang around his every narcissistic word. Plus a better moustache. No competition! Poirot, greatest detective ever! Sherlock: a LOSER, Sad!

I've never seen Poirot, or read it. In fact I don't read at all because I'm not a loving god drat idiot nerd reject like C.F.C. I'm too busy having the secks with beautiful women (models!) to get anything done. Kind of a burden really.

Poirot is cool as hell. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the best of all the mystery books I read in my teens.

the books are good, the tv movies are good. gently caress yeah, poirot. however, the absolute best poirot is when the tv movies were adaptations of books.

Nthing Poirot for best detective. Buuuuutttt, Miss Marple the superior Agatha Cristie character. Just something appealing about a nosy old lady.

Everyone who reads the highest form of art, graphic novels (comics to you plebs), would know it is neither Poirot or Sherlock who is the best, but Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman.

Inspector Morse was really good. Luther was good. Foyle's War had its moments. Wallander was great. Cracker was fantastic and I watch it a lot(I'm very depressed). I've been enjoying River, I like Skarsgaard a lot.

Duh Ugh posted:Nthing Poirot for best detective. Buuuuutttt, Miss Marple the superior Agatha Cristie character. Just something appealing about a nosy old lady. marple has two layers. on the surface is the vaguely insulting idea that rural english villages are microcosms of society and by being a gossipy old biddy you will learn all there is to know about human nature. but underneath, there is the part the character never admits to- marple is just bullshitting and all of the comparisons to some yokel or another are camouflage for her keen analytical mind. she poses as an impossibly quaint idiot savant because that is the only acceptable way for her to apply her talents in that society. christie used a similar idea with poirot, where he was playing up his foreignness so that the stuffy and incredibly racist brits he investigated would underestimate him.

the poirot tv show is better then the books. Murder on the Orient Express in particular is much improved in the transition from book to tv they actually give the story some pathos on the show.

I like the one where Hastings has a different idea of how to investigate the mystery and Poirot laughs him off, only for Hastings to solve it using a different methodology. while Poirot gets stumped and frustrated. Upon learning Hastings solved it before him, Poirot loses his poo poo and starts ranting. Hastings defuses the situation by pointing out that if a man has the world's greatest detective to learn from, it's only natural he'd solve a mystery every now and again. Hastings being a goof is my favorite bit of the series.

They're all wankers. Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Burglar, is the only worthwhile 19th century literary mystery character. Suck my drat balls if you disagree.

Poirot: "for you see, a one armed left hander could never have shot the bishop; at 3:15, the clocks hand covers the left portion of the sniper nest!" Sherlock, same mystery: "first, I found samples of the victim's stool. I tasted a hint of Giorgio Salvalri almonds, which of course we all know can only be found in the Po valley of upper Italy..." ad infinitum
