What should you watch on Extra from ICI Tou.TV, Club Illico and VRAI? Here are some suggestions unearthed by our journalists.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (Club Illico)
It’s not just the scale of the action or the danger of the maneuvers, but how the whole thing is filmed. Many close-ups allow us to feel the emotions of the characters and help develop the relationship between them. It’s without saying a word that Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell elevate their performance.

Everything for my doggie
Directed by Mélissa Beaudet (CHSLD at the front, 180 days), this documentary series lives up to its name. If you think you’re crazy about your dog, you haven’t seen anything yet!

Part of the distribution of Lakay Noua show which arrives Thursday on ICI Tou.tv’s Extra, then in April on Radio-Canada TV.
I would be lying if I wrote that this is the television series of the year, the most accomplished and the most extraordinary. Some lines sometimes sound tacked on. On the other hand, if you are at all curious, you will discover a vibrant culture, punctuated by kompa and scented with griot and weighed bananas.

A boy a girl has the mission to entertain us, to make us laugh, and it works, especially in the daily life of the couple, revealing many of our own failings.
