The six-part series combines elements of adventure, romantic comedy, and class satire as it follows the story of Justine and Rémi, a middle-aged couple facing financial struggles just as their family is on the brink of social ascension. In a desperate attempt to maintain appearances, they embark on a risky double-life of nighttime burglary, targeting the very elite they aspire to impress. Along the way, they uncover deeper secrets and rediscover their connection to each other.
Created by writer Sarah Tissandier and director Stéphanie Pillonca, “A Lovely Mess – Rob the Rich” is produced by Redstone for France Télévisions.

From Canada comes “Empathy,” a multi-award-winning dramedy created by Florence Longpré. The series centers around psychiatrist-criminologist Suzanne as she returns to a secure psychiatric facility to treat dangerous patients using unconventional methods, much to the dismay of her colleagues.
