Is it because he’s always nailing smug weirdo rich fuckbags? Is it the peter falk hard carry? Is it because despite being canonically a cop he does anything but act like a cop?
Is everything downstream of columbo an attempt to erase his legacy as the hound of wealthy sociopaths?
Is Columbo a demigod?
I have tried watching Poirot. He’s nowhere near as charismatic as Columbo, and him caring about the law rather than about justice makes him rather unlikeable.
I suppose, I will give Poirot one more try after I finish 17 Moments of Spring.
