The last
Before the crash
We still haven’t gotten used to the monologues of Marc-André (Éric Bruneau) at the beginning and end of the episodes, which underline the subtext in too broad strokes, but that doesn’t matter. The second season ofBefore the crash surpasses its first. More rhythmic and gripping, it raises the stakes from episode to episode, and culminates this week in an explosive way, thanks to an eruption of the character of Évelyne, fiercely defended by Karine Vanasse. Is this a series finale? On the one hand, we hope not, because we have adopted these heroes full of flaws. But on the other hand, we hope so, because after watching the last seconds, a sequel promises to be particularly eventful!

After a lackluster fifth season, the British saga returns with 10 episodes which – fingers crossed – will come full circle in royal fashion. The first four, which will be posted online this week, will depict the growing love between Lady Di (Elizabeth Debicki) and Dodi Al-Fayed (Khalid Abdalla) until the terrible car accident of August 31, 1997 in Paris. The final six will show Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) reflecting on the future of monarchical rule, alongside the marriage of Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla, and the beginnings of a new fairy tale that captivates the public, courtesy of William (Ed McVey) and Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy).

Marc Labrèche anime I am coming to you.
I am coming to you
Although not numerous (an average of 272,000 viewers, according to Numéris), the audience of Marc Labrèche’s talk show is made up of fans. We can understand why. With the host in charge, it’s anything but dull. The show’s malleable formula suits the comedian perfectly. We haven’t seen him have so much fun since 3600 seconds of ecstasy, from 2008 to 2011. His collaborators have also found their cruising speed and, above all, the niche in which they excel, starting with Élise Guilbault, Ève Côté, Fabiola Aladin and Matthieu Pepper. This week, André Sauvé (Monday) and Julie Perreault (Tuesday) are invited.

After showing one of the busiest emergency rooms in the country, that of the Sacré-Cœur hospital in Montreal, the documentary series produced by Myriam Berthelet, Sasha Campeau and Paul-Maxime Corbin concludes its ninth season by offering four episodes dedicated to to the staff of regional hospitals, including that of the Archipelago, in the Magdalen Islands. With 30 beds, the establishment located in Cap-aux-Meules sometimes uses EVAQ, an air evacuation service offered to remote corners of Quebec, to obtain care in larger centers. Thus, we will see treatment in the air, in a more than cramped space. Furthermore, Télé-Québec has confirmed the presentation of a tenth season, expected in September 2024.
