Tele-radar | Our suggestions of the week

Every week, The Press scans the TV offer to identify four titles to watch.

The safe bet: A boy a girl

Twenty-five years later, this comedy remains a safe bet. And yet, we had our doubts. After all, the comebacks of America’s seminal comedies of the 1990s haven’t been happy lately (Sex and the City, Will and Grace, That ’70s Show). Of course, nostalgic comfort partly explains our enthusiasm for this new batch of four episodes, but it’s not just that. The texts are skilful, the themes addressed, judicious, and above all, the chemistry between Guy A. Lepage and Sylvie Léonard is always in good shape. The two actors exchange lines with obviously a lot, a lot of pleasure. And it’s contagious. A pleasing return which makes it possible to envisage the revival another classic of the time with more optimism: The little life.

The documentary : American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing

The case fascinated us in 2013. Two bombs exploded in the heart of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 260 others. Over the next few days, every development was avidly followed. Three years later, we even went to see Patriots Day, the Hollywood film adaptation of the events with Mark Wahlberg as a policeman. And curiously, it is with as much appetite that we stuffed ourselves with this documentary series entirely devoted to drama. We write “curiously” because we haven’t learned much new, but 10 years later, hearing law enforcement detail the incredible hunt to capture those responsible kept us on our toes. for three episodes.

The roll of the dice: Live with Kelly and Mark

We left American morning TV a long time ago, but Live continues to hold a special place in our hearts, probably because we started listening to it when it was driven by Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford, and it reminds us of a simpler time when we could take the time to watch two people discuss more or less interesting subjects while pretending to have their coffee. The departure of Ryan Seacrest and the arrival of Mark Consuelos alongside Kelly Ripa may bring us back to our television at this hour. Because we are first and foremost curious to observe the dynamics of the couple on screen.

The last : Tower

The two TVA dailies are going off the air at the same time this week. But whileIndefensible will be back in september Tower definitively closing its doors, after three seasons.

To mark the occasion, Gildor Roy will receive Ginette Reno on Monday, the “improbable friends” Patrice L’Écuyer and Mike Ward on Tuesday, Chantal Machabée and Pierre-Yves Lord on Wednesday (announced a ” epic hot dog contest”), and Thursday, for the final show, the host will rehash his favorite moments with Alexandre Barrette and Hélène Bourgeois Leclerc, who have accompanied him since September.
