Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Agatha Christie's Poirot or Alfred Hitchcock Presents, start here.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 81 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
The pragmatic, reserved and refined Maigret investigates murders in his singular unhurried manner and inevitably discovers the truth.
