Annabanana<p>I saw episodes 5 & 6 of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThreePines</span></a>, the new <a href="https://c.im/tags/InspectorGamache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>InspectorGamache</span></a> series today. In my opinion, this is the best story adaptation so far. Unlike the first 2 stories, it did not feel rushed and was very faithful to the book. The characters were well cast and performed. We're really enjoying this show and especially <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlfredMolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlfredMolina</span></a> .</p>
Annabanana<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://canada.masto.host/@evelyntheriault" class="u-url mention">@<span>evelyntheriault</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@seanb" class="u-url mention">@<span>seanb</span></a></span> <br />Overall, I think it's a very good adaptation and well worth the watch. Here's my review of the first two episodes (I'm a fan of the books). I would add that's the 2 part episodes are a bit rushed as they are doing an entire book & the new indigenous arc in each 2 part story. (IMHO each story should be in 4 parts like some British dramas rather than 2 .) </p><p>Just saw the first 2 episodes of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThreePines</span></a> on <a href="https://c.im/tags/AmazoPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AmazoPrime</span></a>. <br />Overall, I liked it and but quibbles were minor.</p><p>What I liked:<br />-the casting and performance of <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlfredMolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlfredMolina</span></a> as <a href="https://c.im/tags/InspectorGamache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>InspectorGamache</span></a>.

(He's British so probably hopefully he'll do a convincing Quebecois accent.)
