Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Awful. Truly awful. I am fan of Louise Penny's Inspectors Gamache series and was really looking forward to this. Nathaniel Parker is usually such a good actor but he really seemed like a cardboard cut out.version of our beloved Inspector. There was none of the kindness, the internal struggle, the relationship with his wife. Jean-Guy and Nichol were more cardboard versions with none of the depth of character we could have expected and certainly none of their motivation for their behavior. Neither actor seemed at all in tune with their role and Nichol's brashness and rude behavior just seemed badly played and forced. I was expecting a much more acerbic Ruth, Clara and Peter were miscast but at least the actress who played Clara did her best with an appalling script. What happened to Myrna? She was completely sidelined. And poor Reine-Marie, tagged on at the end in a completely false and forced way. This could have been so much better - the scriptwriter failed so badly to capture the essence of any of the human characters or even Three Pines itself. I've seen many a bad Miss Marple, but this is worse than any of those.
