I'm now finally catching up on the Maigret series with Rowan Atkinson, and I'm watching them in order. I like the Parisian atmosphere projected, even though it was filmed in Hungary. No Mr. Bean here, with Rowan playing one of his most serious roles in his esteemed acting history.
John Light (the erstwhile husband of Neve Campbell) is very malevalent in his role as a con artist/murderer who tries to outwit Maigret.
I know some find the English accents jarring, with no attempt to speak or sound French! I wonder how French audiences responded to this series as they did with Allo, Allo. It would be kind of like English audiences watching the French do Midsomer Murders or The Sweeney.
