THE THREE R'S

Remastering: These editions are brighter than previous ones but have a severe case of the jaggies. I'm not sure it was worth the trade-off.

Rating: My local carrier of MHZ Networks edits the Maigret episodes it broadcasts OTA down to a PG-rating. Don't expect that from these discs. Several of the episodes would qualify for an R-rating for language, sexual content, and/or nudity.

Realism: I think the most captivating aspect of this series is the verisimilitude: It's quite easy to forget that these are actors. ( )
