This Man Must Die (French: Que la bête meure), also an excellent French/Italian movie (1969)directed by Claude Chabrol… Hope this series is as good of the movie !
Just discovered Cluade Chabrol and am binging on all his work I can find. Chabrol is an old New Wave director, a style I find I love. Watched the first episode here and am now skipping to https://www.primewire.ag/movie/141185-watch-this-man-must-die for comparison.
The Day-Lewis novel has been adapted for the screen twice peviously. The one you mention https://www.primewire.ag/movie/141185-watch-this-man-must-die (Original title: Que la bête meure) and previous to that in 1952 by Román Viñoly Barreto in Argentina. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0201477/ (La bestia debe morir). In both of those the Cush Jumbo character was male.
Thanks! I’m going to find this Argentinian version that I didn’t know existed!
I have just finished watching the first 3 episodes and I am in hook, line and sinker. I had only seen Cush Jumbo on the Good Wife/Good Fight, where she really doesn’t have the opportunity to show much range. This is a better example of her craft.
Cush Jumbo

TKU. I have the current “Trying” on my watch list as well as the upcoming “Stay Close”. Now adding your suggestions as well as the “Vera” series with wonderful Brenda Blethyn.
I love Vera. I still have three s10 episodes to watch.
Looking forward to this drama and I had watched a few British tv shows with Cush Jumbo before she headed across the pond to star in The Good Wife/The Good Fight. This drama is adapted from a book written by Daniel Day-Lewis’ father in 1938.
Cecil Day-Lewis.
Wonder if he abandoned his son, abandoned his boy, drank your milkshake. DRANK IT UP!!!!
What?
Reference to “There Will Be Blood” lol
Everywhere says there are only five episodes for this show, but a comment posted on IMDB.com does say …
“The original 5 Britbox episodes were edited into 6 shorter episodes when they aired in the USA on AMC.”
I haven’t watched this through yet, so I don’t know if the episode 6 link is actually needed or not - the entire series may already be in the first five episode links.
Good one. Like the name Detective Strangeways.
please post links. thanks
