Monsieur Spade.

The limited series "Monsieur Spade" on AMC, AMC+, and Acorn TV follows the retired detective Sam Spade, created by Dashiell Hammett, as he navigates a peaceful life in the South of France that is disrupted by escalating crime. The series explores the challenges faced by an irritable character who is thrust back into the world of crime and unrest. While the series features a compelling lead performance by Clive Owen and beautiful settings, it is not always clear why the creators chose to revisit Sam Spade, and the overall approach may not consistently captivate viewers. However, with stunning scenery, engaging dialogue, and Owen's standout performance, the series breathes new life into the iconic character. [Extracted from the article]
