Tele-radar | Our suggestions of the week

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

The roll of the dice: Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets

We eagerly await this series, not only because its title reminds us of an old REM hit from the early 1990s, but because it promises to “expose the truth” behind the smooth facade of the Duggar, this family descended from a rigorous Christian education that had its heyday at the turn of the 2000s and 2010s with 19 Kids and Counting, a TLC reality show that depicted his ultraconservative lifestyle. The offering from Amazon studios will notably explore the radical organization behind the controversial clan: the Institute in Basic Life Principles. When you watch her trailer, you realize where Margaret Atwood got her inspiration to write The Handmaid’s Tale (The Scarlet Maid).

Prime Video, Friday

Movie theater : What’s Love Got to Do with It

Because a good half-dozen Tina Turner songs (We Don’t Need Another Hero, The Best, Private Dancer…) have been playing in our minds since her death last Wednesday, we feel the need to revisit this 1993 biographical drama for which Angela Bassett should have won the Oscar (Holly Hunter had been crowned best actress for The piano lesson). Directed by Brian Gibson, no matter the love (its title in French) depicts the ascent strewn with pitfalls of Anna Mae Bullock, victim of domestic violence at the hands of Ike Turner, her first husband. A feature film that makes us realize how much this rock and roll icon fought to find her place in the sun.

In catch-up: L’Osstidquoi? The Ostidcho!

Robert Charlebois, Yvon Deschamps, Louise Forestier and Mouffe revisit, 55 years later, the legendary show they presented at the Théâtre de Quat’Sous, in Montreal, in May 1968. Premiering on Sunday, this documentary by Louis-Philippe Eno (known for his work with Les Trois Accords and Les Cowboys Fringants) also examines the impact of the work through testimonies by Michel Rivard, Adib Alkhalidey, Léa Clermont-Dion and Marcel Sabourin. For those who want to go further, know that there is a podcast in which comedian Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques and Jean-Marc Larrue, his historian father, discuss the historical, social and cultural context of L’Osstidcho.

Télé-Québec, Wednesday at 3 a.m. and Friday at 10:30 p.m. (and video. telequebec. tv)

The documentary : Cocaine, prison & likes: the true story of Isabelle

Directed by Sébastien Trahan, a specialist in crime documentaries, commonly known as true crime (The last flight of Raymond Boulanger, Presumed Innocent: The Michelle Perron Affair), this series of three episodes revisits a story that had fascinated the entire planet in 2016: that of the two Quebecers who had become entangled in a case of cocaine trafficking in the middle of a cruise. Returning to the country after having spent several years behind bars in Australia, one of the young women, Isabelle Lagacé, exposes “without taboos her version of the facts”, underline Urbania and Connect3 Media, which produce this miniseries in collaboration with Bell Media. Cocaine, jail & likes was previously offered exclusively on Crave.

Canal D, from Friday at 8 p.m.
