Subito Texto follows the daily lives of a group of friends, and their 'frenemies', over several years as they move through junior/high school. While it reminds me of the Canadian teen show "Degrassi", and its reincarnation "Degrassi the Next Generation", Subito Texto has a unique feel to it: playing out in a suburban French setting, encompassing a broad number of main characters and their family members.
Like all teen shows, it offers you some typical storylines about cliques vs. Enemies, studious vs. Sporty types, cool vs. Geeky, but it also takes time to portray families and their unique compositions, culture, and traditions for the teens to (hopefully) follow.
A show appropriate for tweens, nothing ever goes completely wrong, and most stories end with a big hug among friends. It would have been nice to see more in-depth discussions around racism and gender roles, as these are vaguely touched upon without actually naming or resolving the issues
Watch out for those sweet moments of true friendships and strong family values, especially when tradition collides with growing pains (and first loves).
I recommend Subito Texto for teens and anglophones interested in a sweet storyline with goofy moments and all, and especially for beginner French language learners (level A1+ or A2).
I give Subito Texto a 4/5 for enhancing French language and PQ culture:
a. Language level: Simple/common teen language level of conversation
b. Conversation pace: Slow pace but can be challenging to follow without a strong French beginner level
c. Use of slang: A lot of local teen slang
d. Cultural insights: Definition of family, family traditions (breaking from them)
e. General interest: Sweet, light, teen drama.

There are a lot of hospital dramas out there, but few match the adrenaline rush, solid storytelling, and character development, like Stat Season 1 can.
Stat's medical emergencies and moments of ethical dilemmas make for a perfect backdrop to the high(er) drama of the show's main characters: a small group of friends who also work together as doctors, surgeons, nurses, and hospital administrators, at the fictitious St-Vincent hospital in Montreal, Quebec.
I found the mini 24-minute episode structure matched the story's "emergency room rush" - with no time to waste. And yet, the 'long-game' plot pulls you along slowly each episode, as we are given small bits to learn more about the characters' faults and secrets.
Watch out for those raw medical emergencies (stabbings, shootings, brain tumors), ethical dilemmas (assisted suicide, organ donation, sexual assault), and enjoy the dysfunctional staff relationships (sex, drugs, infidelity), and the overarching plot (murder-or-suicide mystery).
If you're into high (good) drama with a good dose of needles, surgeries, infidelities, and camaraderie, Stat won't disappoint.
Language Rank: 4.5/5 I give Stat (Season 1) a 4.5/5 for enhancing my French language and PQ culture learning: a. Language level: Layperson/common language conversation, medical terminology b. Conversation pace: Slow-to-medium (fast in emergency scenes) c. Use of slang: Conversation includes common slang d. Cultural insights: Fraternity vs personal gain; social and work hierarchies e. General interest: High drama and ethical medical dilemmas.

This original police story, loosely reminiscent of Fargo, includes strong female characters (some pregnant), hard-core (some inept) criminals, with plenty of beautiful Quebecoise culture and slang thrown into the mix.
Season 1 kicks off with a triple homicide and the introduction of most of the key characters. This can be a bit challenging to follow, but the story quickly unfolds for viewers to understand the inter/connections between the local police constabulary, "big city" crime unit investigators, former-biker and small-time criminals, and their loved-ones.
Focused on a central female lead, the talented Isabelle Blais, the story is set on her life as a police constable solving serious crimes and on the challenges she faces in her private life as a caring single mom juggling work and her children (and her aging father and her ex-husband).
Watch out for those beautiful cinematographic moments in every episode introduction, and for those story nuggets of comedic criminal folly.
I recommend Season 1 for anyone interested in a good crime story, and especially for advanced French language learners (level B2 or higher). I give Fait Divers Season1 a 5/5 for enhancing French language and PQ culture learning: a. Language level: Layperson/common language conversation b. Conversation pace: Fast paced c. Use of slang: Conversation includes slang d. Cultural insights: Rural vs urban conflicts, central female roles e. General interest: Engaging crime/police story.
