Our Review
Three Pines (2022) is a drama and crime series from Prime Video. It has built a run of 8 episodes. It premiered on December 2, 2022. Viewers rate it 7 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Three Pines Is About
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team investigate a series of perplexing murders in the mysterious Eastern Townships village of Three Pines, uncovering the buried secrets of its eccentric residents and in the process forcing Gamache to confront buried secrets of his own.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 8 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its drama/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Alfred Molina, Rossif Sutherland and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Alfred Molina, Rossif Sutherland and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers lead the cast.
Key roles include Alfred Molina as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache; Rossif Sutherland as Sergeant Jean-Guy Beauvoir; Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers as Sergeant Isabelle Lacoste.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, crime and mystery have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Prime Video’s other originals, a 7/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2022 and carried by Prime Video with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and crime viewers.
How Three Pines Compares
If Three Pines lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Three Pines is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Alfred Molina and Rossif Sutherland doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/crime roots, It has held up since 2022 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Three Pines is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and crime lane, at 8 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7/10. Watch it if you want drama/crime you can settle into.
