AdamrabbiOmg <a href="https://c.im/tags/threepines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#threepines</a> is such a well made show… I was worried because Louise Penny (whose books I love and I’m currently reading one) said in an interview that she didn’t have much input and the village itself didn’t play enough of a role… but the bilingual actors and the many indigenous actors and the additional of the residential school and indigenous related plot lines are so powerful.

Annabanana<a href="https://esq.social/@veereadstoomuch" class="u-url mention">@veereadstoomuch</a> I'm also a big fan of <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BritishTV</a>. Currently I'm watching <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> (Canadian not British), <a href="https://c.im/tags/GeorgeGently" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GeorgeGently</a> (I sometimes watch older shows) and looking forward to seeing <a href="https://c.im/tags/Litvinenko" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Litvinenko</a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stonehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Stonehouse</a> and the upcoming 3rd series of <a href="https://c.im/tags/AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall</a> soon.

Annabanana<a href="https://mindly.social/@Angelinelasa" class="u-url mention">@Angelinelasa</a> I'm enjoying <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a>. I especially like the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Indigenous</a> story arc (which is new to the show but something <a href="https://c.im/tags/Canadians" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Canadians</a> need to talk about more as it's been a part of our history that has been ignored for far too long. BTW the director who is also the cultural consultant is an indigenous woman.) Loved <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlfredMolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AlfredMolina</a> and I thought episodes 5 & 6 were the best so far. (They didn't feel rushed to me where as the others did.)

Annabanana<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@CaroltheCrone" class="u-url mention">@CaroltheCrone</a> I've been watching <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> & I'm a fan of the <a href="https://c.im/tags/LouisePenny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LouisePenny</a> books (I just read <a href="https://c.im/tags/AWordOfCurosities" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AWordOfCurosities</a>). Generally I think Three Pines is quite good although I have some minor quibbles. (The first two stories felt rushed although the last story didn't and I think has been the best one so far. I've also thought Peter & Clara's casting is too young, Jean Guy is cast too old and he should be speaking French only). However I realize that TV/movies are a very different medium than books and every adaptation of a book will have changes. I really like <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlfredMolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AlfredMolina</a> as <a href="https://c.im/tags/InspectorGamache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InspectorGamache</a>, he captures <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gamache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Gamache</a> 's compassion and thoughtfulness. I like the indigenous story arc (original to the show) as it is well written and acted. Overall, I think it's a good adaptation for both those who've read the books and those who haven't. (My husband hasn't read the books and he is enjoying it as well.)

Annabanana<a href="https://mastodon.ie/@curtainqueen" class="u-url mention">@curtainqueen</a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/@evelyntheriault" class="u-url mention">@evelyntheriault</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/@seanb" class="u-url mention">@seanb</a> I thought episodes 5 & 6 (the 3rd story) of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> were the best so far. They didn't feel rushed to me (unlike the previous stories) and were a very faithful adaptation.

AnnabananaI saw episodes 5 & 6 of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a>, the new <a href="https://c.im/tags/InspectorGamache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InspectorGamache</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">#AlfredMolina</a> .

bookworks Harris Walz💙<a href="https://mastodon.social/@buitengebieden" class="u-url mention">@buitengebieden</a> This is nearly how I imagine <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a>. <a href="https://c.im/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#books</a>

Annabanana<a href="https://canada.masto.host/@evelyntheriault" class="u-url mention">@evelyntheriault</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/@seanb" class="u-url mention">@seanb</a> 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 .) Just saw the first 2 episodes of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> on <a href="https://c.im/tags/AmazoPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AmazoPrime</a>. Overall, I liked it and but quibbles were minor.What I liked: -the casting and performance of <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlfredMolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AlfredMolina</a> as <a href="https://c.im/tags/InspectorGamache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InspectorGamache</a>. He conveyed the thoughtfulness and caring of the character. - the setting and the scenery of the Eastern townships of Quebec were very evocative -the indigenous arc although not a part of the books was well done & integrated with the story. (In the books there is an indigenous mother protesting outside the SQ headquarters.) - many of the casting choices were well done (Oliver & Gabriel), Isabelle (although not indigenous in the books, it worked well)What I don't care for (all of which is minor quibbles) - less French than I thought there should be, if memory serves me, Gamache and his wife speak French to each other, not English. It especially jarred with his deputy Jean-Guy who doesn't speak English & mistrusts English speakers - other casting choices - the artist couple Clara & Peter are middle aged in the books -Ruth Zardo looks like a bag lady (although she is well played), I didn't picture her so unkemptOverall, I thought it was an excellent adaptation. My husband who hasn't read any of the books by <a href="https://c.im/tags/LouisePenny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LouisePenny</a> liked it.

Annabanana<a href="https://mstdn.social/@WinnipegLaur" class="u-url mention">@WinnipegLaur</a> I agree with you the bear was silly as there are no grizzlies in Quebec or Ontario, just black bears (who can be brown) but they do NOT act like that. I'm enjoying <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> but I think they are trying to cram too much in 2 part episodes so the episodes feel rushed. I think they should be at least 4 parts for each book (like British drama).I like Molina's portrayal of Gamache very much and I like the indigenous storyline & found the part in this episode about residential schools very moving. It's our national shame and tragedy as they were in most provinces.

Annabanana<a href="https://mastodon.social/@archaeomather" class="u-url mention">@archaeomather</a> Yes, I thought the bear in <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> was very odd. There are no grizzlies in Quebec just black bears (who can be brown too). However it didn't react like any black bear I've ever encountered. There wasn't any bears in the books, I think it was for drama but not very convincing.

Annabanana<a href="https://worldkey.io/@tashasounart" class="u-url mention">@tashasounart</a> I agree with you. I think <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> feels really rushed. They're trying to cram too much story into into a 2 part story. I think if they had more episodes for each book (say 4 or 6 like many mysteries now), it would work better. I also think they'd be more time for character development (the only characters who are developed as Gamache, Isabelle, Bea and maybe Ruth) and they are starting to fill in Peter & Clara a little bit. I do think the indigenous arc is very well done (even though it's not in the original stories, just the woman protesting outside the SQ headquarters). It's quite moving, I just wish that there more episodes for each book.

Annabanana<a href="https://thecanadian.social/@sirlivealot" class="u-url mention">@sirlivealot</a> Here's the article about <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> where I learned that the director/cultural consultant is an Indigenous woman, Tracey Deer.. <a href="https://dramaquarterly.com/deer-in-the-spotlight/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://dramaquarterly.com/deer-in-the-spotlight/</a>

Annabanana<a href="https://thecanadian.social/@sirlivealot" class="u-url mention">@sirlivealot</a> am enjoying <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a>. I agree with need to discuss our stories, especially the shameful ones. Did you know the director (who's also the cultural consultant) is indigenous herself? (Mokawk nation I believe.)

AnnabananaA link with a story about the director of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a>. She herself is indigenous & also served as the cultural consultant on the show.

Annabanana<a href="https://home.social/@lauralmcnabb" class="u-url mention">@lauralmcnabb</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella" class="u-url mention">@dbattistella</a> Hi Laura and Daniela, I hope you don't mind me answering.Yes, I believe <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> is fairly close (it starts with the second book probably because the last one used Still Life.) Overall, I think it's good adaptation. I really like Molina as Gamache. He captures Gamache's thoughtfulness and compassion so well. I love that they filmed in the eastern townships (that rural landscape is so Quebec). The indigenous storyline arc is new but very well integrated with the original story (and Isabella is indigenous). My only quibbles are minor; there should be more French & Jean Guy shouldn't be speaking English, Clara & Peter should be played by middle aged actors and Ruth looks like a bag lady (although her character's well written & very much like the books.) IMHO, it's well worth watching. It's going to be released as 2 episodes (2 part story), every week until Christmas.

Annabanana<a href="https://worldkey.io/@tashasounart" class="u-url mention">@tashasounart</a> Yes I agree. (I 'm from Toronto but I've been to Quebec & I've known quite a few Quebecers. They included a childhood friend who's bilingual with a Quebecois mom & dad from Ontario, my first boyfriend was a Quebec French speaker from Sherbrooke and a later boyfriend was a English speaker from east end Montreal), most of the public conversations in Montreal, especially at the Surete would definitely be in French and it's the only official language. Feelings still run high about this in Quebec, especially in Montreal because of past history (at one time, the department stores refused to serve people in French.) I don't think most people there switch between especially in public. (Most English people there do speak some French & there were always English people in Montreal, McGill University is English & there's a Jewish community) but the language of business is mostly French (esp since the language laws passed by the PQ in the 70s). I can't imagine much English being spoken by the Surety except when they interview English speaking witnesses/suspects. I've seen considerably more much switching between languages in Ottawa, then I've ever seen in Montreal. I think that they put more English in the show to appeal to the American & UK market. Apparently <a href="https://c.im/tags/LouisePenny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LouisePenny</a> insisted they film in Canada with a largely <a href="https://c.im/tags/Canadian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Canadian</a> cast & crew but <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThreePines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ThreePines</a> be marketed outside Canada. I've glad they filmed in Quebec, the architecture in Quebec is very different than Ontario or New England and the landscape is identifiably that of Quebec.
