The month of October marks the return of a mythical character on social networks, who only appears once the equinox has passed and the first tree leaf has turned red: the person who loves autumn far too much for his clean good.
It could be me, it could be you, it could be us in a pumpkin patch.
Always preceded by a heady vanilla cloud, this person invades the Montérégie orchards with their Stanley Cup or their pumpkin spice latte.
Is it chilly outside? Not for her, wrapped in a shawl knitted by her grandmother or an expensive cardigan, which she delicately closes while scanning the horizon, like Nicole Kidman in all her TV series. Hashtag: “sweater weather”.
Possessed by an ancient pagan ritual, this person celebrates the abundance of harvests in the light of a blue moon and caresses root vegetables while shivering with happiness. On the menu for the next few weeks: squash soups, braised in Le Creuset, sweet tarts and hot cider, which she stirs with a cinnamon stick, even if it tastes like the devil. This is the hygge spirit of the season. Comfort, cocoon and Gaviscon.
By lighting her soy candles with the scent of amber and moss, this addicted to flambé colors replays woody albums Folklore And Evermore by Taylor Swift while donning a wool coat that sweeps the ground covered with conifer needles.
Obviously this person is going over the Gilmore GirlsHello. Same thing for the Harry Potter films. And this person who already wears a woolen hat has certainly started – guilty! – viewing the delicious romantic comedy Nobody Wants This from Netflix, Couple problem in French version. A heart-warming series When Harry Met Sally perfect for this cooler time of year.
Really, what a nice surprise these ten 30-minute episodes, which feature the cute Kristen Bell (that’s Veronica Mars!) and Adam Brody (that’s Seth Cohen in The O C. !).
Finally a brilliant romantic comedy, super well written and a bit salacious, which is aimed at intelligent and discerning adults. The dialogues, a veritable verbal ping-pong of Olympic caliber, contain jewels of lively and spicy replies.
Nobody Wants This is based on the almost magical chemistry between the two main characters, who live in the bohemian neighborhoods of East Los Angeles. The decor? Think of an organic vegetable market, artisan wines and the little joint that circulates after the vegetarian meal.

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in a scene from Nobody Wants This
Her name is Joanne (Kristen Bell) and she co-hosts a podcast with her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) that deals with relationship issues and, above all, sex. One of their favorite episodes is also called “Dildo’s and Dildon’ts”. Nice homage to Samantha’s puns in Sex and the City.
His name is Noah (Adam Brody) and he is a rabbi. He leads a more orderly life, although very modern, and has started the process of breaking up with his partner of recent years, while the bubbly Joanne has many disappointing encounters on Tinder.
During a dinner at the home of a mutual lesbian friend, Joanne meets Noah and the connection is established instantly. Both are funny, sarcastic, cultured and full of repartee.
There are, however, two balls in the soup. First, Noah has only just broken up and Joanne doesn’t feel like serving as a rebound relationship. Then, Noah is a practicing Jew (duh, he’s a rabbi), while Joanne, an agnostic, is quite religious about religion.
To add to the obstacles that our two singles will overcome on the road most traveled: Noah’s parents, immigrants from Eastern Europe, who take a very dim view of their darling son dating a non-Jewish woman , a shiksaa derogatory word, in Yiddish, which means “detestable”.
In a natural and friendly way, Nobody Wants This incorporates all of these elements into charming episodes. It can be consumed in a weekend (if you don’t go to apples, of course).
And it’s good to see balanced forty-year-olds, not completely crazy, who have a taste for investing in lasting relationships.
Relationships as warm as Joanne’s (fake) chinchilla coat and as comforting as Noah’s wool sweaters. Long live cuddly TV and long live autumn down jackets.

With Completely high school on Noovo
It’s so nono and silly, but irresistibly funny, this parody of American teen series, which was rewarded at the Gemini in September. The bad French dubbing, the references to American Beauty, Pet And Buffy the Vampire Slayeras well as the “stage 9 buttock” cancer intrigues, it’s impossible not to laugh on Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. on Noovo. As Allie’s doctor dad (Rosalie Vaillancourt), Bernard Fortin is “too funny”, and hats off to rookie Julie Le Breton, aka Miss Carmichael, the sexy math teacher who has a crush on this ignored genius that is Brian (Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais). I love it – or do I Keith? – severe.

The chicanes in Indefensible
No, but how old are Léo Macdonald (Sébastien Delorme) and Marie-Anne Desjardins (Anne-Élisabeth Bossé) in the TVA daily to peck each other so much and annoy each other like in a primary school playground? As we know, Léo is frustrated with the passage of his former associate to the side of the Crown. This has been going on for four weeks and even Judge Lamy (Jacques L’Heureux) scolded the two lawyers this week for their childish behavior in the courtroom. Enough of the childishness and stupidity. Will we have to bring the gavels back to the courthouse to beat on the fingers of these bellicose prosecutors?
