What’s new on Quebec platforms? Here are some suggestions unearthed by our journalists.
Splendor and influence (All V)
The comedy Splendor and influence, which parodies reality shows populated by Sunwing passengers soaked in grocery store drink, is full of comical and scathing lines. It’s really very funny.
Hugo Dumas
IXE-13 and the race for uranium (Club Illico)
Club illico holds in its hands a television bomb loaded with powerful elements. What emerges is an excellent eight-episode period miniseries – consider Peaky Blinders–, which borrows the codes of a film noir from the 1940s, with intense music, touches of humor and plenty of suspense.

Raspberry time 2 (Club Illico)

Sandrine Bisson in the second season of Raspberry time
Raspberry time, it’s beautiful, it’s touching, it’s comforting and it’s beautifully poetic. What moves us are the inner dramas of the characters, what they do not reveal and what we discover about them over the course of 10 one-hour episodes.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (Club Illico)
Pedro Pascal and Nicolas Cage form an excellent tandem. If this comedy is still enjoyable to watch, despite its shortcomings, it is mainly thanks to them.
The Press
one Love (Club Illico)
Bob Marley: One Love is in fact content to follow almost to the letter the precepts of the authorized biography (members of the family collaborated in the process, which undoubtedly explains this). It illuminates a trajectory, sometimes convincingly, but digs very little into its main character. Rita Marley (excellent Lashana Lynch) proves to be the strongest character in the film.
Alexandre Vigneault
Québec Rock – Offenbach vs Corbeau (TRUE)
Director Félix Rose shows that Offenbach and Corbeau were much more than Gerry and Marjo, in Quebec Rock, a fascinating series based around the rivalry between the two groups. Through four 45-minute episodes, full of absurd anecdotes, archival extracts and contemporary testimonies from survivors of this era lived at full speed, Félix Rose recounts the genesis of Offenbach within several rock orchestras ‘n’roll from Montérégie, their ambition to conquer the United States, then their turn towards French influenced by the arrival of Pierre Harel, who deserted the group in 1975, to found Corbeau in 1977 with Willie and Wézo.
