In this episode we gush over the Québécois TV series C'est Comme Ça Que Je T'aime, also known by its less interesting English name, Happily Married. (You can watch C'est Comme Ça with English subtitles on CBC Gem for free, but be sure to use its original French title when searching.) Set in 1974, this one-hour dramatic comedy series follows two suburban couples who become the most notorious criminals in Quebec history over three weeks while their kids are away at camp. We love the show's blend of dark humor and drama, and we especially enjoy the series creator, François Létourneau, who plays the narcissistic and cowardly Gaétan, a character who somehow remains incredibly endearing. We were lucky enough to stumble across this popular series while visiting Montreal, and we doubt that C'est Comme Ça has been watched much in English Canada, just more proof that the Two Solitudes thesis is true.
