Can you hear me? - Review

Can you hear me? is a Canadian show, located in Montreal, that will probably surprise you.

Three friends with terrible life circumstances have a single precious thing: each other. They don’t seem to have an acceptable lifestyle. They are weird, make unbelievable choices, and sometimes, they can shock you. Yet, you can’t help but feel a little empathy.

Friendship

The main character in this show is friendship. In the first episode, after an anger management session, we follow Ada back to her friends. For a while, all we see is a random conversation between a group of close friends. You’ll feel the outsider of the group.

The three girls (Ada, Fabiola, and Carolanne) have a fantastic connection. Yet, they have very different ways to deal with the world. Ada is impulsive and responds with anger and, sometimes, violence. Carolanne simply shuts down. She is the quietest member of the group, and it is difficult for her to open up. Fabiola is a hard worker that tries to help everyone, but let people mistreat her in the way. She compensates for her frustrations with food.

If you have any doubt that this trio works, let me tell you: there is a perfect chemistry between the actresses.

It’s a hard life

Other than their friendship, nothing else works in their life. There are addict moms, addict sisters, an abandoned niece, a dependent mom in a wheelchair. Around them, there is rape, violence, and death.

This is all shown in a raw, crude way. No excuses, no filters, no pretty landscapes. It is a show about misfits. They aren’t pretty little princesses; they live in the fringes of society, ignored by it. Like the title says, they just want to be heard.

Dreams and strength

The show can upset you in many ways. It makes you uncomfortable sometimes, but it sends a message of hope beyond all the problems.

No matter what is happening around them, the girls are resilient. They face their days with a good mood. They have dreams, hope, and love to give. Most importantly, they have each other’s backs.

The second season is already live in Canada. We’ll be waiting for it.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
