Maigret

If they made more of these I would be stoked. Fantastic show bad cast. Love the way it looked. BBC make more you fools!!! Why is there only 4?? I honestly liked these as much as early suchet poirot. We need more of these yesterday.

This was excellent, the very best Maigret of all! I never expected Mr Bean to be so very credible and serious in this role. 4 episodes were not enough, of course they canceled it because it was actually really good. Seems the crap is always renewed. So many great shows get cancelled maybe because the powers that be are really out of touch with the audience! Too bad, this was really wonderful.

Can't believe they cancelled this after only 4 films, probably the best thing I've seen Rowan Atkinson do, and it is beautifully filmed and so atmospheric of the 1950's, should have gone on for many more episodes than just 4.

Right up there with the best of British crime dramas, I was sad to see 'New Tricks' cancelled, but at least it lasted for 12 seasons! Shutting down this 'Maigret' was one bad decision!

When I first started watching this series,I was so impressed by Rowan Atkinson's rendition of Simenon's character, I at first doubted he was the same actor as the one who played Mr. Bean. First class acting, subtlety and a gift for saying much with a look or a gesture. It was also interesting how the writers included his wife as more of a partner who participated sometimes in his cases, which gave the series a modern touch that was not found in Simenon's novels. The production values and supporting cast added greatly to the series's appeal and I hope we'll see additional sequels in future. Simenon wrote so many engrossing novels and short stories there's plenty for other producers to draw from.

To see Rowan Atkinson in a serious role was welcomed & this show was perfect to display his talents aside from comedy. I just wish there was more episodes or some specials. I put off the last episode just because I didn't want it to end. I'm not a huge fan of crime dramas but this one takes you in & grab your attention till the very end.
