I like the books by Louis Penny so was drawn to give the series a try. Alfred Molina is good as Inspector Gamache. His three assistants are a pretty good representation of the corresponding characters in the books.
As for the plot of these two episodes (3 and 4), they are not like anything I've read in the books. Maybe it happens in later books, but I have seen nothing about indigenous people. Ruth does not have a duck.
I was moved to write this review because of the utterly ridiculous ending. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but a grizzly bear appears in a very unnatural way. Are the writers trying to be deeply symbolic? It doesn't work. It's just silly.
What a shame they couldn't end it realistically.
