AMC’s Monsieur Spade has left some viewers wondering if the series is actually a sequel to Humphrey Bogart’s 1941 Maltese Falcon movie or something unrelated. Created by Scott Frank (Logan) and Tom Fontana (Oz), Monsieur Spade stars Clive Owen (A Murder at the End of the World) as the fictional private detective Sam Spade. Set in 1963, the series follows the legendary Detective Spade to the South of France, where he’s enjoying his retirement from investigating murder cases. While his time in San Francisco was marked by brutal violence, Spade’s next adventure is much more relaxing until it isn’t.
