I think that a TV series fan will get a bit more out of Poirot, simply for the celebrity actors playing in it. It's insane how many British actors started their career with the show. Peter Capaldi, Ecclestone (two doctors in Doctor Who), Tywin Lannister (I don't remember his actual name), Emily Blunt, even Michael freaking Fassbender and the list goes on. In the imdb video you can see more.

If you like mystery/detective stories even to the slightest, I highly recommend watching a couple of episodes (even though I have to warn you, the first season wasn't as good as the rest).
