MAIGRET

PREMIERES SUNDAY, OCT. 5, 9/8c (check local listings at pbs.org)

Masterpiece's newest crime drama brings Parisian police inspector Jules Maigret into the 21st century-and he's younger and hotter than he's ever been.

But the core of the character hasn't changed, according to Benjamin Wainwright (Belgravia: The Next Chapter), the latest actor to portray novelist Georges Simenon's 1931 creation, who tries to understand, not judge, people.
