Beware of spoilers… We’re talking about television here. From reality TV to the news 13 hours via the regional thrillers of France 3, 20 minutes – and, above all, the incredible editorial team of the “Retro TV” column (made up of one person) – scrutinizes everything that happens on the small screen. But if, you know, this box that comes alive and that young people use to watch YouTube! Every Saturday, this is where you will find our favorites (or not), all the crisp news and indiscretions of the week. Come on, do we take a look at the TV news?

Anthology series, the second season should be interested in a completely different fact, provided it is signed by TF1.
