Description

All the shows are great, plenty budget compared to the much-loved Davies versions done by the BBC in the early 60s, a good team faithful to the books, and lots of good support acting. Instead, the series got locked into a series of drab-looking interiors, cheaply designed by Chris Wilkinson and unimaginatively shot by directors James Cellan Jones and John Glenister. I am a huge fan of the MhZ International Mystery series where you can catch this show every few weeks. The nephew is interested in girls more than crime though and pulls out the machismo whenever he appears to be slacking off, to impress his uncle.

Simenon's brilliant stories come to life through remarkable scripts, actors and locals; truly mysterious and convincing; holding your interest without pause.

So, in conclusion, the first season is a drab-looking cheap endeavour whilst the second season is the prestige show you'd expect from a Granada-produced "Maigret" series. The last few nights I have been watching on Britbox the newest Maigret series starring Rowan Atkinson. The various events are supposed to take place in post-war France during the 1950s and 1960s, but they are actually filmed between the mid-1980s to the early 2000s.

Mme Maigret was recast between the seasons with Ciaran Madden playing her in the first and Barbara Flynn in the second.

I think the Atkinson version was just awful, though it gets points for possibly bringing new readers to a terrific author.The ones drab, overlit sets are replaced by rich, ornamented interiors full of character and period atmosphere.
