Empathie

That's definitely one of the most outstanding shows of the Year. The team behind it must be really talented to make it work that way where every actor and character as well as all of the shots interacts with you like no other modern shows and triggers you such a broad pallete of the feelings from very deep sadness to the brightest feeling of happiness.

Straight to the point if you are allergic to slow burns and dramas when you have to think, just don't Watch it. As for myself, i Watch varios genres including gummy comedies and actions but I am also addicted to indie dramas which is closer here and I truly believe it is the greatest show of the year.

To CRAVE, Florence Longpré and the entire production team of the EMPATHIE series.

Empathie is by far the BEST TV series ever produced in Canada. Period.

This series is brilliant, touching, funny, dramatic, upsetting and intelligent.

Everything is perfect: script, dialogues, editing, photography, etc.

And what about the casting? We should name all the actors and actresses of the series so much they are exceptional.

Starting with Florence Longpré (Dr. Bien-Aimé, also author of the series) who probably signs here the role of her life.

My absolute favorite: Benoit Brière. It should not be repeated, but his interpretation of the patient Jacques Dallaire caused the screen of my big Mac to turn into Niagara Falls. An unforgettable performance.

This series must ABSOLUTELY be broadcast internationally. EMPATHIE is the perfect example of the high quality of French Canadian television.

This show is heartbreaking but simultaneously heartwarming at the same time. I can't remember the last time a TV series (if ever!) has moved to tears, to then have me grinning from ear to ear a few moments later. I've absolutely fallen in love with this show. I rarely ever leave reviews (I'm not the best writer to be honest) unless I feel like something has had a profound impact on me, like this show has. I started it on chance, without having a clue what it was about or seeing any trailers for it & I'm so glad I did. It is beautifully written, the way it delves into a characters past moments, slowly unveiling their stories while also leaving some mystery around them is just masterful. The on screen chemistry between the lead actress Suzanne & Mortimer is one I've not seen for a long time. The way they both slowly open up to each other so heart warming & captivating, it really has you routing for them both. There are so many scenes I'm genuinely smiling & laughing along, this is what television is all about isn't it? A must watch!

Empathie is one of my favorite Quebec-made series! The cinematography is stunning, the storyline is compelling, and the cast delivers outstanding performances, especially the lead. This show will make you laugh, cry, and laugh even harder. As a Montrealer, I loved the shots of the city-it made me feel right at home and even more connected to the show.

Created by Florence Longpré, who also stars as Dr. Suzanne Bien-Aimé, Empathie is a 10-episode dramedy that follows a former criminologist turned psychiatrist at the fictional Mont-Royal Psychiatric Institute. The series delves into the complexities of mental health, exploring the lives of patients and staff with depth and sensitivity.

The show has been recognized internationally, winning the Audience Award at the Séries Mania Festival in France, highlighting its exceptional quality and storytelling. With its blend of humor and drama, Empathie offers a unique perspective on the human condition, making it a must-watch.

I thought I was going to watch one episode here and there because I feared the subject would be too heavy. It is not. Don't hesitate to jump in, you'll be happy you did.

I actually had to pace myself, I was HOOKED after the first episode. The development of the story, the delicate way the characters are presented, their stories, the intrigue. The casting is just insane. Being from Qc I knew all the actors expect a few of the French ones. All of them are absolutely wonderful. Everything is so well balanced, it's amazing to think we'll be blessed with a season 2. Just can't wait already.

This is definitely one of the best series in Canada right now, and will be for a long time! It's well worth registering to Crave to see it!
