Detective series based off Louise Penny's novels. About 3 episodes in and so far I think it's pretty good. Definitely in to watch the rest of the episodes.

Alfred Molina Is the lead character. He plays Chief Inspector Armand Gamache who investigates different murders committed in the tiny, titular Quebec village, getting pulled deeper and deeper into its disturbing history of secrets and crimes.

In four episodes and it's okay. Certainly done well. However there is this darker underlying theme with missing Blue and native american abuse, but the murder in each episode ends with a fairly trivial motive.

Episode 1 was interesting enough so we'll carry on. The lady in the bathtub with the duck was hilarious.

watching and then wondering how Canadians and Mounties ended up with the Dudley Do Right goofy hero image - their spin doctor is amazing

also still having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that this indigenous abuse was well into the '80s

Stumbled upon this last week while looking for something to watch, and surprised I'd never heard of it. I'm a big fan of the Inspector Gamache book series. Only one episode in so far and not sure I'll continue. Thoughts so far:

• Molina as Gamache is fine; he generally captures the essence of the character.
• Feels like they're going for a Fargo vibe for the series which I don't think works for Penny's universe. Too dark and foreboding.
• Don't love some of the casting choices for the other characters. They've made Claire, Peter and Myrna much younger which seems unnecessary.
• They completely whiffed on the Ruth Zardo character. They've essentially depicted her as a crazy bag lady which misses her true character.

Robert, Chris and Sol - good stuff.
