Maigret Review: Georges Simenon’s Classic Makes for Near-Perfect Crime TV
Created and overseen by Patrick Harbinson – known for compelling, character-focused shows such as Homeland and Maigret – this series centers on Chief Inspector Jules Maigret (though everyone, even his wife, simply calls him Maigret) as he tackles three distinct investigations over six episodes. Featuring a measured pace and excellent acting, particularly from Benjamin Wainwright in the lead role, Maigret demonstrates that there’s still a place for intelligent, well-written crime dramas on today’s television.
