Tele-radar | Four titles to watch on your screens

Every week, The Press scan the TV offering to identify four titles to watch.

The safe bet: Survivor Quebec

Despite Audrey’s departure (for the second time), the Quebec adaptation of Survivor remains our daily favorite this spring. While last year the eliminations were predictable, this season they are anything but boring. We’ve even gotten used to Patrice Bélanger’s style of describing the events, who puts so much heart and energy that you’d swear you were watching a Canadian game in the Stanley Cup final. André’s “words”, Ghyslain’s mannerisms, Kassandre’s mischievous smile, Déborah’s reactions, Florence’s icy determination… We love everything! We’re so invested that we even caught ourselves watching Survivor Quebec in overtime a few times.

Noovo, Monday to Thursday at 7 p.m., Sunday at 8 p.m.

Movie theater : Dune: Part Two

Of course, we went to see Dune: Part Two by Denis Villeneuve on the big screen during the winter. Leaving the cinema, after three hours, we really had the impression of having traveled into space, of having visited another world. Even if our television is far from having the dimensions of an IMAX screen, we intend to repeat the experience in our living room. Because in addition to being action-packed, this sequel includes shots so memorable that they give you chills. It’s also a great way to stay in the mood while waiting for the arrival of Dune: Prophecya series derived from the original work, which will land on HBO Max (Crave in Canada) next fall.

The special: Kevin Hart: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor

We never understood the excitement around Kevin Hart. (The same could be said of Taylor Swift, but since we really don’t want to be inundated with angry emails from die-hard fans, we prefer to refrain.) To paraphrase Nikki Glaser to the well-cooked Tom Brady on Netflix , Kevin Hart was, in our opinion, the man who produced one bad comedy a day. But since we attended this evening of tribute to American stand-up comedy, which brings together big names like Dave Chapelle, Chelsea Handler, Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, we know that it is a generous, unifying and empathetic man. But we don’t feel like watching his films anymore!

The novelty : Murders in English Paradise

Since it’s summer (or almost), we’re not embarrassed to suggest this British crime drama dubbed in French, ideal for relaxing in your living room without thinking too much after a long day. This is a derived series (commonly called spin off) of Death in Paradise, a BBC One soap opera that has been running for 13 seasons, set on Sainte-Marie, a fictional Caribbean island. In Murders in English Paradise, we follow Inspector Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Breton), his partner, who settle in Shipton Abbott, a village (also fictional) in the United Kingdom, after leaving London. And here we go for 13 completed episodes, at the rate of one crime per week!
