Stumbling upon this series amidst this new plethora of TV programming - what a creative renaissance we are enjoying in TV and film these days, as if the Universe is giving us a present for undergoing Covid! - it took me back a beat it was So Familiar.
I then made the connection to the quirky and charming book series I so loved and finished years ago. I want to move in and live in the neighborhood with Oliviers and eat Poutine!
The enjoyment of these interesting who-dunits lay in the character development of the dozen or so principals, each with a unique backstory. This community has created a haven of connection and unusually high quality of life under their protective, sometimes scary, Quebec forest. Human nature being what it is, however, they cant help befouling their nest from time to time with a revealing murder or two (or more). The satisfaction comes from the complexity and subtlety of the characters which are multi-layered and dimensional, with a real ring of truth.
Seriously, it is amazing how these characters were brought to life from these novels, as if they had read my mind. I am so happy, it is like discovering an old friend. (Will someone PLEASE make a movie / TV series with Matt Haig's books so I can continue my happy dance?).
So Satisfying!!!
