YMMV pages for specific Maigret works:
YMMV for other Maigret works:
- Awesome Music: The opening theme
of the Bruno Cremer series by Laurent Petitgirard is the most memorable by far. - Hilarious in Hindsight: One for the 1990s British series that starred Michael Gambon and followed a 1988 made-for-TV movie starring Richard Harris - not the last time they would play the same character.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Due to its longevity (from 1967 to 1990), the Jean Richard series functioned much like Tatort does in Germany, in that it served as an early job for many French actors (or even voice actors) who have gained prominence since. Including Gérard Depardieu, who would end up playing Maigret himself in 2022. There's also Samuel Le Bihan (Brotherhood of the Wolf).
- The equally long-running (1991-2005) series starring Bruno Cremer had a number of young French actors and actresses who would gain prominence in the late 1990s or during the 2000s such as Bruno Wolkowitch (of P.J. fame — he was also in the Jean Richard series), Guillaume Gallienne, Elie Semoun, Karin Viard etc.
