Web Series Review: Maigret ( pronounced May-Gray) streaming on BBC Player!!
Set in the 1950s , this series tells us about the adventures of Inspector Maigret, a famous French Detective & his extraordinary ( sometimes off the book) crime solving methods.
Rowan Atkinson as the calm and sombre protagonist... I couldn't believe it at first!! But trust me , he gets into the skin of the character so seamlessly that u will forget for a moment , that he is the same guy who has played the character of the bumbling Mr Bean in the past . Hats off to him for his brilliant portrayal of the legendary sleuth !!
This is a period crime drama and great care has been taken to recreate the ambience of France in the 50's. Well done indeed 👍!! As for Maigret, apart from his crime solving skills his soft , emotional and caring personality stands out the most setting him apart from most of the detectives of that era.
This series has 2 seasons with 2 episodes with each ep having a runtime of 1.5 hrs. Grt watch !! Highly recommended!! 👌👌
Going with 4/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!
