Reviews

Maigret shows his understanding of people.


(5 stars)

This was well done. It only lacks the more detailed descriptions Simenon put in his novels. Maigret’s personality came through as well as in the novels. The actor did a fine performance.


(3 stars)

Ok. This sounded far more like a Dragnet episode than a Maigret. The killer was the most believable character.
