Après

How does a small town deal with a tragedy such as a mass shooting? This is a tiny town, where everyone knows everyone else. The shooter did not come from the outside, but was one of them. Where do you put the grief, rage, anxiety, guilt? These are people you knew. She sat next to you at church. She shopped in your store. Her kids know your kids. What do you do about the resulting suicides from the loss? How do you address the fact that you have lost a major employer and the soul source for groceries and other items in a small town? How does this town unite and get beyond? The series addresses all of these show well. I can't recommend it enough.

Watching French or French Canadian movies or TV series can be a hit or miss experience . Its best to follow an actor you've had previous experience with before tuning in. I have followed Karinne Vaness for many years. She's just so believable in the roles she takes on. Apres' represents her at her finest. The entourage of hound and old, stodgy and beautiful a they all come through with glowing performances. The story, though a bit drug out, is rivetting. You get to know each of the characters well so you can truly relate to their personal feelings during and after the tragic events, which are many. The story is so well written it gives the actors plenty of opportunity to showcase their range and they come through. You will smile and cry many times over. This was truly a gem for all.

I agree with the other reviewer. This is a hidden gem. The acting is superb, the writing is intelligent and often profound. The characters are well developed. They even backed away from ending it with a girl gets guy scene.

The leading actress is superb, and I love her in Cardinal, where she's more restrained, but here is allowed to show us all her delightful talents as a woman whose character is strong, magnetic and beautiful. She is surrounded by equally talented performances by an incredible ensemble.

Why has this been so ignored by the critics? Covidnesia?

And I would like to know the writer's name. This is as deep a script as I've seen in quite a while.

A number of things crossed my mind after watching this series. Dysfunctional families, infidelity, lies, and manipulation caused a horrific shooting in a small town grocery store. Was the wrong person vilified?

So many lives destroyed over a few people's bad decisions, lies, and lack of morals. It all comes down to nothing more. The shooter was driven to murdering eight townspeople because of family life, frustration, and anger. The local police department was inept and, as usual, barking up the wrong tree. Seems to be a universal problem not isolated ignorance in small towns. However, there was one redeeming person in the entire series. Antoine, the government grief counselor put his professionalism first and foremost.

I agree with the others as well, a rare gem,.

There is the right psychological introspection of the characters, without any cliches.

It deserves wider recognition and I'd really love to see a sequel, even though the story is fine as it is.

Special mention to the wonderful Karine Vanasse, previously seen in Cardinal, but here at her best.

I find that I've said the essential, IMBD requires more words for the publication, but all the best has been already said from the others reviews, I can only add thanks for such a good work, I'd really love to see a sequel, even though the story is fine as it is.
