M'entends-tu ?

Really enjoyed this. It focuses on three friends in Montréal, all of whom are well-acted and have great chemistry together. The topics are serious and the women are in a fight against their circumstances but humour comes from that and their love and support for each other. Don't be scared of subtitles, I used them as my French is only junior high level and a long time ago but it is well worth it. It made me wish I had spent more time learning the language. A must watch for all Canadians especially but everyone else, too. Can't wait to see season 2.

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.

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

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...

Funny, sad and well written 10/10 good Québec series
