Season 1 Review:
A show that draws narrative energy from unexpected sources and comes at you from oblique angles. Although it’s completely different from that first season of True Detective, it is one of the only shows I’ve seen in the past decade that has come close to reproducing its texture and density.

Season 1 Review:
“Monsieur Spade” is rich in period details and is really the equivalent of a jigsaw puzzle, one with numerous pieces that might seem all but impossible to connect before Spade sweeps in and fits them into place with just the right amount of aplomb and snark. Get ready to give those brain cells a workout and witness Alfre Woodard steal the show in its final episode.

Season 1 Review:
Whatever the demerits of Owen’s performance, it isn’t fatal to an enjoyable series; he gets the job done, and is particularly good in his scenes with Bossom, whose Teresa he regards with paternal annoyance. And the series departs on a final shot and line so lovely it’s worth the getting there.

Season 1 Review:
Uneven but fun to watch, “Monsieur Spade” eventually yields a suitably baffling ending, delivered via an exceptional cameo I’d hate to ruin. The show’s main flaw is its MacGuffin. .... The series collapses, by the end, into a narrower, more parochial sense of its stakes.

Season 1 Review:
This results in Monsieur Spade being a somewhat fuzzy thing. I was consistently intrigued by the series, especially for Owen’s interestingly prickly work and the beauty of the surroundings, but it isn’t always clear why Frank and Fontana were inspired to reconsider Sam Spade, and their approach isn’t always compelling.

Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, the miniseries never quite lives up to all that assembled talent, nor does it ever really justify the idea of placing a much older Spade so far outside his and our comfort zone. It’s not without its charms — Clive Owen‘s magnetism chief among them — but it’s fairly low-energy, and much less stylized than you would expect from Frank as director and co-writer.
