Remote Listening
“My daughter and I share the same interest in the show The Chiefs !, from the very beginning. Since my daughter lives in an apartment, we watch the show separately, exchanging comments online. It sometimes happens that we notice a detail at the same time, as during the first show of this year where the judges, after having analyzed the dishes made during the duel, did not mention as is often the case: “My choice is made!” To add a little suspense, we have been doing for several years a pool to select three candidates who we believe will make it to the final. This moment shared with my daughter, even from a distance, is a great meeting that starts the week off well! My daughter finishes at the end of May her studies in dietetics technique and her interest in the show The Chiefs ! is surely no stranger to his career choice. »

A ritual
“My daughter is now 29 and lives in an apartment. Luckily, we live in the same city, so we have a ritual to maintain our bond: we regularly organize a dinner on Friday evening. We talk about our week over a good meal, then we sit down to watch a show… or two! Right now it’s Survivor Quebec Then The Chiefs !, which we don’t watch on weekdays so we can watch them together on Friday nights! Besides, for The Chiefs !, it’s a show we started when she was still at home. We are very attached to it. Series suggestions often come from her, but sometimes also from me. We have a weakness for everything that comes from here, it’s a natural priority, but we are also very open to good series from elsewhere. When our series are over, it gives us a break from Friday night dinners… but, very quickly, we feel like resuming this ritual! »

precious moment
“My mother (87 years old) and I followed The Scarlet Maid. We discussed it on the phone or during our meetings, but, for the last season, we watched it together. Precious moment shared between mother and daughter! We wanted to savor the end of this series together! It was the same for the last season of Homeland. »

Exchanges and reactions
“My youngest daughter and I watch Succession together. If one is traveling, the other is waiting to watch the missed episode. It’s great to share the excess of the characters and react to the twists together. »

Representative scenario
“I have followed the series for a long time. Gilmore Girls with my two daughters. It was representative of our experience. I was separated and alone with my two daughters. It was a beautiful moment that we shared for a long time. »

An old tradition
“I started watching soap operas with my mother when I was 8 years old. I remember the first soap opera I saw was fortune telling by Lise Payette. Every evening, my mother and I met in the living room to watch “our programs”. We enthusiastically commented on the plots during commercial breaks. I loved that! The plots allowed us to discuss different subjects that I did not know at that age. I realize now how watching television together was a wonderful opportunity for my mother to pass on knowledge and values to us. […] Now, 40 years after the start of fortune telling, when I call my mom, we always talk about our shows. Even that I prevent myself from devouring series in advance in order to watch them at the same time as her. Thus, the intrigues are fresher to my memory and our discussions are more enriching. The more it changes, the more it is the same. »

Sacred
“My daughter and I followed together Gilmore Girls when she was still living at home. It was sacred, we had to watch this series together. »
