This show is just SO good. I don't think I know a Quebecer who hasn't watched "Le Coeur a ses Raisons"... It's just a classic here in Quebec. Sadly, I don't think the show was translated in English... But if you are fluent in french (and the accent doesn't bother you), you can definitely watch it. I remember watching this show when I was 9 or 10 years old, and laughing so much it was painful. This show has a weird humor. It's absurd, and when I say absurd, it means ABSURD. Some things just don't make any sense, and that's what's funny about it. Like, for example, there are scenes where characters battle with toilet paper, or other scenes where they drink directly from a water hose. Also, I must mention Marc Labrèche's work, who plays Brett, Brad and Brenda (yes, he also plays a very ugly woman). This guy is just nuts. He could just look at you and make you laugh. His characters are as crazy as him, and they are a very big part of the show. The man is just awesome. Also, Anne Dorval is very cool too. If you don't know the name, she plays in the movie Mommy by Xavier Dolan, which I know is pretty popular... Very talented actress, and very funny too. She can do anything. Anyways, if you speak french and love comedies, this show is for you.

Parody of soap operas with glimmers and absurdity !
croymisch20 February 2006
This show is something else. In french with no sub titles (hopefully they could make it for other languages, at least English!) but something fun to watch if you desire something completely twisted.
With the acting of Marc Labrèche, this show becomes a fantasy in the world of soap operas. There is no way to predict what is gonna happen and yet you know what's gonna happen.. or almost... and it's almost something wrong and politically incorrect, something you'd never really see on television..
This is a gem of absurdity for the ones which can digest the dosage. And a bit 'salty' if you like sweet water.
