Michel Charette in Happiness
This comedy signed by François Avard (The Bougons) and Daniel Gagnon (The parents, Mrs Lebrun) provokes – at least – one big laugh per episode. This week, he will come from a completely absurd situation: when François (Michel Charette) gets a hen who… yodels. A little behind-the-scenes anecdote, Guylaine Tanguay lends her voice to the curious bird. The country singer found director Alain DesRochers’ proposal so funny that she agreed to lend her voice to the bird.

Kristen Bell in The woman who lived across from the girl at the window
We look forward to this series for one reason only: its ridiculously long title, which rivals Don’t tell mom the babysitter eats dandelions by the root, that early 1990s VHS classic. Starring Kristen Bell, The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window tells the story of a housewife who spends her days drinking outside her window…until she witnesses a heinous murder. The trailer hints at a satirical psychological thriller. Our expectations are high.
