Monsieur Spade (AMC) -- S: Clive Owen as Sam Spade -- Based on the character from The Maltese Falcon
Monsieur Spade centers around the infamous protagonist of American writer Dashiell Hammett's 1930 classic novel The Maltese Falcon. The year is 1963, and the legendary Detective Sam Spade (Owen) is enjoying his retirement in the South of France. By contrast to his days as a private eye in San Francisco, Spade's life in Bozouls is peaceful and quiet. But the rumored return of his old adversary will change everything. Six beloved nuns have been brutally murdered at the local convent. As the town grieves, secrets emerge, and new leads are established. Spade learns that the murders are somehow connected to a mysterious child who is believed to possess great powers.
Shot on-location in France, Monsieur Spade features a prominent ensemble cast in up-and-comer Cara Bossom (Radioactive) as Teresa, Denis Ménochet (Inglorious Basterds) as Chief of Police Patrice Michaud, Louise Bourgoin (The Romanoffs) as Marguerite Devereaux, Chiara Mastroianni (On a Magical Night) as Gabrielle, Stanley Weber (Outlander) as Jean-Pierre Devereaux, Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game) as George Fitzsimmons, Jonathan Zaccaï (Robin Hood) as Philippe Saint Andre and Rebecca Root (The Queen's Gambit) as Cynthia Fitzsimmons.

I watched the first two episodes. Pretty good, right in my wheelhouse. Kind of fills the void left when HBO criminally canceled Perry Mason. And I love the French countryside (who doesn’t?). Not sure where it’s headed, and it’s pretty slow and leisurely, but overall I like it and I’m in for the season.

This is on Netflix now. Wife and I started it up over the weekend. Watched the first 3. Interesting but also a bit slow. I don't know if I would have stuck with it if it wasn't only 6 episodes.

I stopped after 3 or 4. The good parts weren't outweighing the slog.

Meh I should have stayed with my instincts on this one. Felt like a dud and was a dud. Basically it was just set up for him to
The "mystery" was pretty secondary and not a good one.

We have one episode left and I still don't know if the two people from the bar are brother and sister or husband and wife. Or both?

I was kind of interested initially because of the connection to The Maltese Falcon.
But, the gist I'm getting is that this is super boring. I know this is not a thriller or action show, but if you all think it's a slog and there is nothing remotely compelling about it, I guess I will have to pass. There is just too much to keep up with already.
