Get ready for a gripping tale of justice and intrigue! In a world where one man’s demotion becomes the catalyst for uncovering a sinister plot, Maigret, Season 1: Episode 2, The Lazy Burglar - Part Two, takes you on a thrilling ride. Aired on 10/12/2025, this 53-minute episode (with closed captions) is a must-watch for fans of crime dramas. But here's the catch: general streaming expires on October 26, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET, while PBS Passport members enjoy extended access until November 8, 2032. And this is the part most people miss: even after being demoted for losing his only lead in the bank robberies case, Chief Inspector Jules Maigret refuses to let the case go. Driven by a relentless pursuit of justice for Honoré Cuendet and his grieving family, Maigret outsmarts the bank robbers by predicting their next move, leading to a dramatic confrontation with Honoré’s killers. It seems like a double victory—until Maigret uncovers a shocking truth: the heists were merely a small part of the robbers’ grand scheme. But here's where it gets controversial: is Maigret’s obsession with justice a strength or a flaw? Could his single-minded focus blind him to the bigger picture? Starring Benjamin Wainwright (Belgravia: The Next Chapter, Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim) and Stefanie Martini (The Gold, The Last Kingdom, Emerald City), this contemporary adaptation of Georges Simenon’s iconic novels brings the streetwise Parisian detective to life like never before. As the first modern TV interpretation, it raises the question: does this version stay true to Simenon’s vision, or does it take creative liberties that might divide fans? What do you think?
