Fortier is a French-language Canadian television series which debuted on the TVA network in Quebec from February 3, 2000, and ended on April 1, 2004. A subtitled version later aired on the English-language CBC Television network, as part of its now-defunct late-night Best of French Canada anthology series, then followed by broadcast internationally on TV5 Monde, and later re-showing again for the disability network AMI-tv on July 18, 2017.
It was made by Aetios Productions, and the show's creator, writer and producer Fabienne Larouche.
Synopsis Anne Fortier (Lorain) is a criminal psychologist from Montréal, who works with the investigators of SAS (Anti-Sociopathic Service), a fictional police division specialising in crimes involving abnormal psychology. Although their sordid crimes include those of a shoe thief and a pyromaniac, most of the cases given a lot of time on the series are ruthless murders, often serial killings.
While solving these cases Fortier and her colleagues must wrestle with her own murky past and several psychological issues.
