Listen I am OBSESSED with the fact

That THIS

IS THE VERY FIRST SHOT WE EVER SEE OF MONSIEUR HERCULE POIROT IN THIS SHOW

THE SHOWRUNNERS LITERALLY SAID 'LET'S OPEN WITH SEXY UP-THE-LEG/CROTCH SHOT'

& THEN WHATEVER HOT/SEXINESS THIS IS

AND THEN HAVE HIM LOOK AT HASTINGS LIKE THIS:

The showrunners ABSOLUTELY 10000% wanted audiences to be thirsty for him & to imply that Hastings was ALSO thirsty for him and they were SO CORRECT for that lbr

#Yes Hugh Fraser *was* supposed to be the eye candy of the show #But. Listen. David Suchet ABSOLUTELY was too #like listen that little gap. In his shirtsleeve. is making me. uhm. I. umn. I need to lie down #lbr this ENTIRE SHOW is Eye Candy Everything is a work of ART #But I feel like they were at least secretly implying something more about Hastings' & Poirot's relationship here because listen #Having these shots of Poirot that seem so. deliberately. framed?? like the audience is supposed to be admiring Poirot's looks???#and then having *Hastings specifically* be his conversational partner in that moment???#Like *we as the audience* are supposed to be admiring the absolute FUCK out of how pretty Poirot is from *Hastings' perspective*????#(Like OKAY I get that the up-the-leg shot was a good/quick way to show us how *Dandy* Poirot is But LISTEN THO)#I'm finding it VERY hard to believe that framing this exchange in THIS WAY SPECIFICALLY wasn't a deliberate choice #on the part of some cinematographer involved in the show. That would maybe imply at least *Some* Homo???#And I owe them my life for it I wish to hug that person and I hope they find $100 on the ground #1.1 The Adventure of the Clapham Cook #watching poirot #agatha christie’s poirot #poirot #David Suchet #hastirot #back on my screencapping bullshit
