Well this is interesting. Americans may know Patrick Huard from Bon Cop Bad Cop. Lock if old.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Is Getting A Remake That Will Take Place In Quebec
- Thread starter UnpopularBlargh
- Start date
That'd be like the NYC version joking about hot-dogs. It'd just be a normal thing.
Quebecor / TVA are so lazy
unable to come up with their own ideas, they just borrow what already exists in the US and makes a French version.

I love B99 but I'm not sure what it has that would make it worth this kind of deal rather than just making a cop comedy. Unless they get to straight lift storylines.
There are ten versions of The Office, including UK and US.
As much as people criticize US remakes of foreign films, television is an area where the entire world remakes British and American shows.
Oof.
I probably won't be able to tank it, unless it's a really excellent, if not perfect first impression.
I'll watch the first ep and I'm sure it'll cringe me to death. Too much a fan of the OG english crew.

I want Jake to see this show on television and spend the entire episode paranoid that it is copying his life for their stories.
That Montreal based cop show was good. I forgot the title though.
But why Quebec City though?
Montreal is diverse, it's a real city with stupid funny city problems. Has a metro transit system, so many boroughs.
Quebec City is not diverse at all and couldn't not replicate any of the funny situations that present themselves in Brooklyn.

From reading the latter's premise, the shows share no commonalities other than being about women in prison. And Orange is the New Black had source material by way of a memoir written by the real Piper, though the show only uses it as a jumping-off point.
What I love about 99 is the diversity
It will be all white characters. Guaranteed.
they fucked up by picking Quebec City over Montreal.
Quebec City is the most homogeneous white city of all of North America
There won't be any Holt , Jeffords, Diaz, Santiago or Peralta equivalent in the Qc City version
It's going to be Tremblay, Gagnon, Bouchard, Fournier zzzzzzzz

But Montreal is pretty div--
Oh lawd.... xD
If I'm not mistaken, no Montréal (or French TVA) main cast has ever been people of colour, since... Ever.
So it doesn't even matter.
Wait, is this going to be set in Brooklyn, just speaking French?
Or is it going to be called Quebec City Nine-Nine or something?

Quebec always likes to remind the rest of Canada how special/unique/different it is.
You are 100% correct almost all French language TV shows filmed in Montreal do not reflect the reality of Montreal's actual diversity,
the opposite of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
but Quebec City muhahahahahahahahahaha
You’d be surprised how many TV shows get changed around and remade for different countries. Yes, Canada is similar but Quebec is certainly an outlier given a lot of cultural history.
Well, the show is being remade in French for (mainly) the Quebec market.
And because the original show is in English, it means many French speaking Canadians cannot watch the original without it being subbed/dubbed.

That's cool. I recently got introduced to this show and have been watching it a bunch. It's pretty funny.
As a French Canadian from Québec, let me just say I have no optimism for this whatsoever.
If they stick to the same character, who the hell is gonna play Terry?

Hugo Girard? :o
Adib will be Peralta
Holt could be the guy who play Fardoche in the new Passe Partout.
