Trust no one: MASTERPIECE PBS tests Maigret's detective instincts
Seven new uploads pair Maigret cast conversations with The Gold's move into 1990s fashion.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Who'd be a better detective in real life? 🔍
MASTERPIECE PBS gave its detectives a personality test, and Ben's co-star promptly ruled herself out. In "Who'd be a better detective in real life? 🔍", she explains that she trusts everyone: a suspect denying involvement might be enough to persuade her. Ben has the opposite qualification. "Yeah, and I trust no one," he says.
That brief exchange was the most watched of the week's new uploads, reaching roughly 4,000 views. It's a small, companionable moment between the heavier business of Maigret's second season, where Benjamin Wainwright's detective faces pressure from inside his own department as well as crimes across Paris.
The new "Maigret, Season 2: Episode 5 Preview" carries the channel's strongest daily momentum. Its case connects a wealthy businessman's killing to an investigation from years earlier, making instinct more than an interview talking point.
The Gold supplied the other thread of the week, including a mustache clip and "The Gold, Season 2: 90's Fashion". Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer and Emun Elliott are among those discussing the wardrobe shift as the story enters a new decade. That fashion feature and the drama's Episode 5 preview are also among the channel's busiest uploads right now.
Across the library, viewing is running below its usual daily level, while subscribers remained unchanged over the week. Nearby television channels had busier weeks, particularly Etalk and Shameless. For MASTERPIECE PBS, the new material stayed close to its dramas: the cases on screen, and the personalities and costumes behind them.
