I have found this drama series to be so very, very beautiful, real, and refreshing. It follows the lives of three young women who are friends, each facing their own set of difficult circumstances and issues, whilst trying to support one another. The comedy and chemistry on screen is brilliant and lovely. I highly recommend watching this in the original Canadian French language with subtitles, rather than dubbing. The acting is too good to miss!
I was one of the best series I've seen on Netflix . It made me laugh also cry I was pure and real
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.
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.
The strength of this series lies in the excellent work by the three main actresses. It has some humourous moments, but for the most part is a gritty look at generational dysfunctional patterns of behaviour which can take years to overcome. The second season focuses more on domestic abuse and some scenes are difficult to view. There are also scenes of abuse inside a prison.
I was curious as to why there weren't any trigger warnings regarding the abuse, and why there weren't any resource numbers listed at the end of the episodes. It's commendable that the series creators focused on this important subject, but why not provide further help/information.
