“Your kindness is your greatest strength.” Prime Video has debuted the main official trailer for a murder mystery series titled Three Pines, arriving for streaming this fall thanks to Amazon. It’s a Canadian series based on a set of books by Louise Penny, which sort of sound like riffs on Agatha Christie and her Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. In this one, Alfred Molina stars as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. He arrives to investigate murders in Three Pines, a seemingly idyllic village in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. He sees things others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and discovers long-buried secrets in the small town. Also stars Rossif Sutherland, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Tantoo Cardinal, Clare Coulter, Sarah Booth, and Anna Tierney. This looks like if Poirot was in Fargo, which should be the perfect pitch for audiences nowadays. “If you don’t belong here, Three Pines will chase you out one way or another.” Molina is so talented it sounds like he effortlessly nailed the Canadian accent in this. Agreed?
