Like chicken heads
Like chicken heads
The goose that lays golden eggs is no longer the only poultry on the air! Signed Pierre-Yves Bernard (In a galaxy near you, midnight at night), this new youth daily, aimed mainly at 9-12 year olds, paints a portrait of the Babin-Bibeaus, an imperfect but tightly knit family, made up of a musician father (David Savard), a lawyer mother who goes back to school to become a carpenter (Mélanie Pilon) and their three children: Victoria (Estelle Fournier), a slightly superficial teenager who likes to create drama, Félix (Tristan Clouâtre), a responsible boy who hides a frosty side, and Flavie (Élia St-Pierre), the youngest with a big heart. It’s charming, funny and full of real feelings.

More than 30 years after the theatrical release of the first part of the adventures of Chucky, the cult franchise of horror films is transposed into a TV series. And against all odds, it succeeded! Written and directed by Don Mancini, creator of the diabolical character, this eight-episode first season, broadcast last fall in English on Showcase, transports us to the heart of the daily life of a lonely bullied teenager who discovers the famous doll in a garage sale. This purchase will obviously trigger a wave of murders that will panic the neighborhood. It’s twisted, fun, terrifying and inclusive. And good news: a second season is ordered.
