To watch or not to watch: a must watch for all fans of whodunnits
Anyone who is a fan of whodunnits, will need to know only a few things:
- It stars Rowan Atkinson in the titular role as an serious and intense detective
- The series is set in 1960s Paris
- The episodes are 90 min long and anthological
- The plots are interesting and will keep you guessing
- It is extremely refreshing to see Mr. Bean being so serious that he forgets to eat. This will throw the viewer off more than anything else
It is an intelligent series with slight bits of red herrings when it comes to solving the case. The most interesting part of the series are the relationships of Maigret with his constables and his wife. they all have single minded determination towards serving justice and respect each other. Not something commonly portrayed these days.
Unfortunately the series got cancelled after 2 seasons, both the seasons are worth the time.
A must watch for all suspense lovers.
