Trivia
To re-create 1950s Paris, the drama was mostly filmed in Budapest, Hungary.

Goofs
When photographing the body thrown from the car, the police photographer takes flash photos in quick succession, obviously using an electronic flash and not changing bulbs.

Quotes
[to the man who murdered Albert Rochain and who has just described him as "a little man - a nobody"]
Chief Inspector Jules Maigret: I want you to know that his name was Albert Rochain and that he had a wife and that they were trying to start a family. And for all his little bets and his little winnings, his life was more successful than yours, because *he* didn't end up like an animal in a cage, despised by everyone, with nothing to look forward to - except his execution.

Crazy credits
In the final credits the character played by Matt Devere is listed as "Detetctive"

Connections
Followed by Maigret: Night at the Crossroads (2017)

I liked it so much because of the slow but tense rhythm of the history, the details of the characters, Atkinson being very accurate of the very heart of Maigret, but even more, giving power to the character. The secondaries and cast are very good too.

Only Poirot and a handful of TV mystery dramas can compare with this.

On the other side, the only thing I can say is that it looks like London, not like Paris, besides the effort they do to translate everything on the screen to french and use of the stone paved streets.

Congratulations to the team, the script and everyone else.

I hope the today's TV learned something.
