M'entends-tu ?

I ran across this on Netflix and am so happy they brought this little Quebecois gem to the south. The acting is so sincere, so authentic and everyone in the show so vested in the screenplay with all their heart. The portrayal of poverty in Canada is not something often encountered on the screen and I have to admit it shook my image of Canada as a land of plenty with its honest examination of the visiousness of the poverty conundrum. The setting is a non-gentrified, poor and neglected neighborhood hidden behind the majestic beauty of Montreal, one a tourist likely would not encounter. To say the show is gritty is an understatement but despite the sadness of the landscape and the lives of the three protagonists the writers still manage to show the humor and grace required to survive such an environment. It's a beautiful show worthy of a larger audience.

Took me a few episodes to get comfortable with the fine line between comedy and tragedy, but suddenly found myself gripped by the hard-hitting twists and turns that lead into an astounding second season.

I was one of the best series I've seen on Netflix . It made me laugh also cry I was pure and real

Great acting; realistic and engaging portrayal of life challenges in a Montreal urban setting. I binge watched both seasons... could not stop... laughed and cried... Merci and bravo to the cast and writers... Looking forward to season 3...

I really enjoyed it. The story is different, and the acting was great.
