If you’d prefer not to wait for Poirot to become available on Netflix, you can stream all 13 seasons right now on ITVX. It’s free to use, though the basic version includes advertisements.

Over on IMDb, the show has a very strong 8.6/10 average score from over 58,000 ratings from fans.

One viewer praised the TV series Poirot, highlighting its high production quality and superb acting. Their only complaint? They’ve watched every episode so many times—about five—that they already know how each one concludes.

One viewer praised the series as “Wonderful and unmissable,” adding that David Suchet wasn’t just playing Poirot, he was Poirot – a truly perfect portrayal.

One fan declared David Suchet’s performance as Poirot to be among the most exceptional and believable character portrayals ever seen on screen. They also applauded how closely the series stuck to Agatha Christie’s original novels, successfully capturing the essence of her stories.

You can now watch the Kenneth Branagh-directed and starring film Murder on the Orient Express on Channel 4.

The latest issue of Living Legends is out now, and it’s dedicated to the incredible Dolly Parton! You can find “Dolly at 80” at newsagents and online for only £8.99.
