The safe bet: eye of the storm
Radio-Canada may broadcast eye of the storm for less than a month, we can already speak of a safe bet since a year after having devoured its first season on ICI Tou.tv’s Extra, we are hanging on to it with pleasure this winter. It’s well acted, well written and well directed. It’s mostly funny and instantly catchy. This week, Isabelle (charismatic Christine Beaulieu) registers — despite herself — for a dating app. Disclaimer: This episode will test the self-mockery ability of viewers named Steve with two ‘e’s.

Maripier Edwar, Cédrik Reinhardt and Brigitte Poitras in Renovations at low cost
As for the specialty channels, the wave of decorating programs that has been sweeping Quebec for years shows no signs of slowing down. And that’s good, because, after a transformation, we always like to see people go home shouting: “I’m over! It’s not ours! A little tired of the much too cluttered staging of Sell or renovate in Quebec, we could quickly adopt Renovations at low prices, a novelty in which interior designers Brigitte Poitras (Bye bye home!) and Maripier Edwar and entrepreneur Cédrik Reinhardt promise to demonstrate that you can change scenery without emptying your bank account.
