The famous Inspector Gamache series is coming to the small screen. This new series may be viewed on Amazon Prime starting on December 2nd. After this, two episodes will be released weekly until the season finale.
In the Three Pines trailer we see Alfred Molina playing the role of inspector Armand Gamache. Alfred Molina has played as Doctor Octopus in Spider Man 2 and as Diego Rivera in Frida.
The series is reportedly loosely based on three of Louise Penny’s novels, drawing several murder mystery story lines from three of the novels and one novella. Previously reported in a Distractify article, the season will kick off with an adaptation of Penny’s second novel, A Fatal Grace. This series will be produced by Left Bank Pictures, the same producers for the show Outlander.
We are intrigued to see this british actor play the role of Inspector Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec. It begs the question, how will he bring the character to life? If his previous works are any indication of the quality of his acting, we are surely in for a treat.
Judging by the trailer, we will assuredly enjoy this book-to-television adaptation. But what about you? Do you think Molina can pull off a convincing Gamache? Would you be affected if the plot significantly deviates from Penny’s novels? Let us know by leaving a comment and we will be happy to respond with thoughts of our own.
