MAIGRET

The first contemporary adaptation of the internationally best-selling novels by George Simenon, MAIGRET follows Chief Inspector Jules Maigret (Benjamin Wainwright), an unconventional young detective with something to prove, a rising star in the Police Judiciaire, relentless in his investigations, with an uncanny ability to get under the skin of the criminals he is chasing and a matchless knowledge of Paris and its inhabitants.  Faithfully and lovingly married to Madame Maigret, Maigret heads the elite police unit known as La Crim, responsible for investigating all serious crime in and around Paris. Maigret inhabits a vividly realized Paris not often seen on camera that takes us from the glitzy upper-class world of luxury hotels and mansions to local bourgeois bistros and bars and the underground haunts of the professionally criminal. The Maigret series, comprised of 78 novels and 25 short stories, is the second best-selling detective series of all time behind Sherlock.
