Synopsis
Maigret (2016) is a British mystery series you can watch online on iFILM — an ITV adaptation of Georges Simenon's novels, with Rowan Atkinson cast deliberately against type as the quiet, heavy-set Paris detective.
Atkinson plays Maigret almost entirely without words. He sits, watches, listens, and eventually a portrait of the culprit emerges — one that is rarely straightforward and never entirely without sympathy. Fiona Shaw and David Dawson anchor the supporting cast, and the production places everything in a convincing 1950s Paris built from period detail rather than spectacle.
Four feature-length episodes make this a compact but faithful version of Simenon's world — less thriller mechanics than character study, and far better than the casting looks on paper. Stream Maigret (2016) online on iFILM.
