Summer Slack Streaming - Three Pines - Season One

Three Pines is the latest in my recent revival of watching Amazon Prime. Following the fun film, Shotgun Wedding along with the third and second last season of Jack Ryan, Three Pines is an excellent little murder mystery series.

Starring Alfred Molina based on the novel series by Louise Penny, centered on Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. 

The first season premiered on Amazon early December 2022 with four murder mysteries, each spanning two episodes, concluding just before Christmas. So I was a little late to the party, however I really did enjoy this little Canadian series.

Filmed in Québec, this is a real hidden gem of summer. I do always like a murder mystery, along with a season long secondary storyline, with Gamache investigating the disappearance of a young native woman.


Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec police force sees things that others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary. He investigates a series of murders in Three Pines, an idyllic village in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, and he discovers long-buried secrets while facing ghosts of his own.

The folks in Three Pines are slightly kooky, however they are also interesting.

If you need a new series to watch now the Australian Open is over and we return to the reality "juggernauts".

Amazon, so far a pretty damn solid summer. Well done.
