Can You Hear Me?

Really enjoyed this. It focuses on three friends in Montréal, all of whom are well-acted and have great chemistry together. The topics are serious and the women are in a fight against their circumstances but humour comes from that and their love and support for each other. Don't be scared of subtitles, I used them as my French is only junior high level and a long time ago but it is well worth it. It made me wish I had spent more time learning the language. A must watch for all Canadians especially but everyone else, too. Can't wait to see season 2.

All I can say is that the kinds of family dysfunction depicted here is portrayed incredibly realistically, along with the full range of emotional reactions that accompany growing up in that sort of environment - including both the humour and rage needed to survive it. I laughed & became tearful at various points watching this series, & came to love each of these three characters. The character development was so well written, & acted, that it was not only entertaining but therapeutic! I would even go so far as to recommend it as a helpful tool for opening up discussion in educational and/or therapy contexts. Kudos to those who chose to tackle these difficult topics in their screenwriting, & who recognized that humour is often the only saving grace for retaining sanity in insane circumstances.

I really enjoyed it. The story is different, and the acting was great.

I have found this drama series to be so very, very beautiful, real, and refreshing. It follows the lives of three young women who are friends, each facing their own set of difficult circumstances and issues, whilst trying to support one another. The comedy and chemistry on screen is brilliant and lovely. I highly recommend watching this in the original Canadian French language with subtitles, rather than dubbing. The acting is too good to miss!

The strength of this series lies in the excellent work by the three main actresses. It has some humourous moments, but for the most part is a gritty look at generational dysfunctional patterns of behaviour which can take years to overcome. The second season focuses more on domestic abuse and some scenes are difficult to view. There are also scenes of abuse inside a prison.

I was curious as to why there weren't any trigger warnings regarding the abuse, and why there weren't any resource numbers listed at the end of the episodes. It's commendable that the series creators focused on this important subject, but why not provide further help/information.
