    Outstanding

    Empathie is one of my favorite Quebec-made series! The cinematography is stunning, the storyline is compelling, and the cast delivers outstanding performances, especially the lead. This show will make you laugh, cry, and laugh even harder. As a Montrealer, I loved the shots of the city-it made me feel right at home and even more connected to the show.

    Created by Florence Longpré, who also stars as Dr. Suzanne Bien-Aimé, Empathie is a 10-episode dramedy that follows a former criminologist turned psychiatrist at the fictional Mont-Royal Psychiatric Institute. The series delves into the complexities of mental health, exploring the lives of patients and staff with depth and sensitivity.

    The show has been recognized internationally, winning the Audience Award at the Séries Mania Festival in France, highlighting its exceptional quality and storytelling. With its blend of humor and drama, Empathie offers a unique perspective on the human condition, making it a must-watch.

    Elevates the spirit with humanity

    We are all the same, we are all beautiful and ugly and happy and hurting. It's a crazy emotional show and gave me feelings that I don't think I've ever had before and probably never will again. I snort laughed and ugly cried within minutes of each other. The feeling is of something like distilled bittersweetness. The characters are AMAZING. The restraint in the acting is perfect. The score drives it home. Production values are high. The choreographies add depth. The screenplay is brilliant. Everything feels like you're peeping through a keyhole at something real. Believe the hype. It's a masterpiece. Reminds me a bit of Magnolia. But it's distinctly a Montreal gem and that really seals the deal for me. Magic. 10/10.

    Best Canadian TV series. Period.

    To CRAVE, Florence Longpré and the entire production team of the EMPATHIE series.

    Empathie is by far the BEST TV series ever produced in Canada. Period.

    This series is brilliant, touching, funny, dramatic, upsetting and intelligent.

    Everything is perfect: script, dialogues, editing, photography, etc.

    And what about the casting? We should name all the actors and actresses of the series so much they are exceptional.

    Starting with Florence Longpré (Dr. Bien-Aimé, also author of the series) who probably signs here the role of her life.

    My absolute favorite: Benoit Brière. It should not be repeated, but his interpretation of the patient Jacques Dallaire caused the screen of my big Mac to turn into Niagara Falls. An unforgettable performance.

    This series must ABSOLUTELY be broadcast internationally. EMPATHIE is the perfect example of the high quality of French Canadian television.

    Pure masterpiece

    That's definitely one of the most outstanding shows of the Year. The team behind it must be really talented to make it work that way where every actor and character as well as all of the shots interacts with you like no other modern shows and triggers you such a broad pallete of the feelings from very deep sadness to the brightest feeling of happiness.

    Straight to the point if you are allergic to slow burns and dramas when you have to think, just don't Watch it. As for myself, i Watch varios genres including gummy comedies and actions but I am also addicted to indie dramas which is closer here and I truly believe it is the greatest show of the year.

    Just wow

    I was not expecting to love this show. Initially, I had my reservations about watching a series with subtitles, thinking that it might distract me from fully immersing myself in the story. However, I quickly discovered that this show transcends language barriers through its powerful acting and compelling storyline. The performances are nothing short of extraordinary, with each actor bringing their character to life in a way that is both authentic and relatable.

    From the very first episode, I found myself drawn into the world of the characters. The narrative is expertly crafted, weaving together their individual stories to create a rich tapestry of human experiences. Each character faces their own struggles, and as the plot unfolds, we are given a glimpse into the complexities of their lives. It's a reminder that everyone has their battles, many of which remain hidden behind closed doors. This show does an exceptional job of highlighting the often-unseen struggles that people endure, making it not just a source of entertainment but also a poignant commentary on the human condition.

    What struck me most was how the show tackles difficult themes with sensitivity and grace. It doesn't shy away from addressing issues such as mental health, family dynamics, and societal pressures. Instead, it delves deep into these topics, allowing viewers to empathize with the characters and understand their motivations. The writing is both thought-provoking and heartfelt, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own lives and the lives of those around them. It's the kind of storytelling that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.

    The cinematography and direction also deserve a mention. The visual storytelling complements the narrative beautifully, with each scene meticulously crafted to evoke emotion. The use of lighting, color, and composition adds depth to the viewing experience, drawing you further into the characters' journeys. It's clear that a great deal of thought and care went into the production, which enhances the overall impact of the show.

    One of the most refreshing aspects of this series is its ability to portray real-life situations without resorting to clichés. The characters are multi-dimensional, with flaws and strengths that make them feel like real people. This authenticity allows the audience to connect with them on a personal level, fostering a sense of investment in their outcomes. As I watched, I found myself rooting for their successes and feeling their heartbreaks as if they were my own.

    Another element that impressed me was the pacing of the show. It strikes a perfect balance between character development and plot progression, ensuring that viewers are always engaged. There are moments of tension and conflict that keep you on the edge of your seat, interspersed with quieter, introspective scenes that allow for character reflection. This ebb and flow creates a dynamic viewing experience that is both thrilling and emotionally resonant.

    As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that it's not just about individual struggles but also about the connections between people. The relationships depicted are complex and nuanced, showcasing the impact of support, love, and understanding in overcoming adversity. The show reminds us of the importance of compassion and the role we can play in each other's lives, especially during tough times.

    In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this show to anyone looking for something that offers more than just surface-level entertainment. It is a beautiful exploration of the human experience, filled with moments that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect. Give it a chance; you might find that, like me, you are pleasantly surprised by how much it resonates with you. Just watch, and allow it to open your eyes to the stories that lie beneath the surface of everyday life. You won't regret it!
