Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This was appointment television in Quebec—families gathered weekly to watch grandma-approved smut that sparked actual dinner table debates about homosexuality and abuse.

Insight

Bertrand intentionally cast against type and used the anthology format to force viewers to sit with discomfort without the relief of a tidy series-long resolution.
