It's not French and Rowan Atkinson isn't being funny but once you've got your head around these immediate incongruities, the 2016 series of Maigret tv movies is terrific viewing - fans of the Georges Simenon books and fans of tv murder mysteries in general will find the episodes as thrilling as they are taut (like the wee slips of the books, there is not a wasted word or moment) and the plots are deliciously grim, as is evident in this episode which features a death count of at least twenty - three remote farm massacres are somehow linked to the death of a man outside a cafe in the Place de la Concorde.
