7/10
It runs in the family

I'm now able to catch up with Rowan Atkinson's Maigret, and wondered if he would sport a French accent, but not to be. Still, the location is authentic for the most part (it was filmed in Hungary), although you have to get used to all the British accents. Thankfully it doesn't get in the way of this ripping yarns of a murder mystery where Maigret is on the hunt for a serial killer. The ending is sort of a twist, and is an indictment on spousal relationships I guess.

I wonder how the French view Maigret. It would be like English viewers watching a French production of Eastenders filmed in Ireland, where the whole cast speak French.
