As usual, the TV channels offer us interesting films or series on Sunday evenings. For this Sunday, April 18, we have prepared a small selection of programs that are worth the detour. TF1, France 2, France 3 and Teva are the 4 channels that caught our attention this evening. Here are 2 movies and 2 series you should watch on TV tonight.
What is it about?

Why see Ant-Man and the Wasp?
Contrary to what one might think, Ant-Man and the Wasp is not the sequel to last Sunday’s Ant-Man show on TF1, but a second part that takes place after the events of Captain America: Civil War. For those new to the universe of Marvel superheroes, don’t worry, it’s entirely possible to see Ant-Man and the Wasp without having seen the movies listed above. Another reason to see Ant-Man and the Wasp, Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly’s onscreen chemistry, a real treat. And the main reason to see this feature film is a good time to relax.
What is it about?
First Man: The First Man on the Moon is Damien Chazelle’s biography on Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling). The film is set between 1961 and 1969, the years in which Armstrong went from a test pilot in California to a pioneering NASA astronaut in Houston and became the first person to walk on the moon. While Neil and his wife Janet (Claire Foy) still fly planes in the Mojave Desert, they see the loss of their second child, Karen, who dies of brain cancer. Neil is then hired to officially participate in NASA’s space program in Houston. There, he and Janet befriended the other astronauts, such as Ed White (Jason Clarke), Elliott See (Patrick Fugit) and Jim Lovell (Pablo Schreiber), as well as their families, when the men set out. in often dangerous missions the race for the moon.
Why First Man: The first man on the moon?
Ryan Gosling does a wonderful job as a thoughtful and intelligent space pioneer in this intimate, visceral, and serious biopic. While the film features many nerve-racking moments and some great visuals (especially in the space and rocket scenes), this character study isn’t as similar to Apolllo 13, Gravity, or The Stuff of. Heroes that moviegoers might expect. Damien Chazelle focuses the film on the two Armstrongs without attempting to capture major events or characters from the space race. Unlike many other factual films about this era that only superficially feature the wives of the astronauts, Damien Chazelle gives Janet de Foy plenty of screen time as the wife has to run the house, calm her nerves, and hope that her husband will otherwise. will be another victim of NASA. Through the skillful script of Josh Singer, unforgettable photographs by Linus Sandgren, and exceptional performances by Gosling and Foy, First Man proves that Armstrong is a legend of unique humility and that Chazelle is one of Hollywood’s all-rounders.
First Man: The First Man on the Moon will be broadcast this Sunday, April 18 at 9:05 p.m. on France 2.
What is it about?
Murders in Troubled Waters is a German detective film series about Lake Constance, the border area between the federal states, Switzerland and Austria. It shows an investigative duo, German Detective Superintendent Micha Oberländer and his Austrian colleague Hannah Zeiler. In Ritual Crime Episode 8 of the series, they will investigate the murder of Sebastian Weidinger, a forest engineer found dead in the woods with medieval handcuffs.
What is it about?
In Alone Against All, Joanna Hanley (Kristin Kreuk) is the senior lawyer at her father’s business law firm in a big city. When a vaccine from her client BIG PHARMA, a pharmaceutical giant, is suspected of causing epileptic seizures in teenage girls, Joanna must return to the small town where she grew up and where her family has mysteriously gone. Offer families consensual settlements and avoid legal action. There, she realizes that vaccines may not be responsible for the disease. But even though her job is done, she decides to stay in town and investigate what makes these girls sick.
Surprisingly compelling, this series takes Kristin Kreuk back to her small town roots (she played Lana for ten years in Smallville). She makes a great lawyer for Joanna Hanley, who returns to the hamlet of Millwood to solve one mystery but ends up discovering another: why her family rushed out of this town many years ago. The medical puzzle is fascinating and the plight of the affected young girls is treated with realistic sensitivity and emotion in adolescents. Unfortunately, the personal drama with Joanna’s relationship with her father and boyfriend is much more predictable. Still, the cast of Alone Against All work well together, and Kristin Kreuk exudes a compassion and intelligence that forces her character to evolve from a corporate henchman to a dedicated vigilante.
The first two episodes of Seule contre tous will take place tonight at 8:55 pm on Téva. All three seasons are also available on Salto.
