Topic: Monsieur Spade
Anyone else given this a shot? I was skeptical because it felt like they were using a famous character (Sam Spade) to prop up a generic French detective show. However, the 1st episode was excellent (it’s free on Amazon). The writing was far above what you’d see in a normal procedural and Clive Owen seems super locked-in to the role. I started an AMC+ free trial to finish the 5 remaining episodes.

Risse Richards I’ve watched the first couple of episodes and I like it. I had to get Sin City out of my head because that’s all I heard through the first episode.

Ryan I’ve watched the five episodes that have been released. I’m still enjoying the series. It has some great dialogue sequences and some strong characters. However, the MacGuffin in this story turns out to be so ridiculous that it hurts the project as a whole. I’m not going to spoil it but it’s such a strange choice for a story with this tone. It was baffling.
