Watching: Barman

Overview

Alex Lachance is a retired actor turned barman. When he became the owner of a tavern, he thought he’d get back to the real world and quiet anonymity. He didn’t expect that his bar would become a hangout for celebrities looking for a sympathetic ear with their gin tonic & lemon. Barman consists of twelve intertwining mini-sagas, both absurd and touching, brought to life through cameos from Québec artists. It’s a chronicle of the daily life of a guy who got out of showbiz only to find that showbiz wasn’t ready to let him go.
