You might be thinking of Bon Cop Bad Cop which is all about the differences between Franco-Ontarian and Quebecois French, or Standard French versus Quebecois. Where I live I hear a ton of Quebecois but even with knowing B2 level French I find the accent very hard to parse out.
Here's a funny scene from the movie on Quebecois swearing:

That's how the bilingual Canadian film Bon Cop, Bad Cop starts. A body is discovered on Quebec-Ontario border. To solve the murder case, an anglophone Ontario cop and a francophone Quebec cop have to team up.
The film "Bon Cop Bad Cop" has a great scene in which the Quebec cop explains to the Toronto cop how to swear properly. Sadly it is dufficult to get a copy of the film with subtitles that do justice to the script, especially in the UK.
Bon Cop, Bad Cop[0] isn't TV (maybe a TV Movie, now) but its use of Quebecois was, to me (my formative years spent within 3km of the Quebec border), quite accurate.
