The band of nickel-plated feet from the British comedy "Brassic".

Sky UK Limited

It's cold, gray, the holidays are over, summer is still far away and this year, in addition, the curfew has just been brought forward to 6 p.m.!

This Monday is “Blue Monday”.

The most depressing day of the year was created from scratch by British psychologist Cliff Arnal for the purpose of an advertising campaign by travel agency Sky Travel using a questionable mathematical formula combining weather , state of finances and motivation.

Since the British invented the concept of absolute blues day, it's up to them to cheer us up with seven

absolutely funny 

British series

!

"Inside N ° 9", available on Arte.tv

Cult across the Channel, the anthology series

Inside N ° 9

is a small masterpiece of black English humor.

Each episode has two common denominators, this strange number 9 and Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, the co-creators of the series, also present in the cast of almost all the episodes.

A silent episode, gothic horror, verse dialogues, the duo dares everything and breaks all taboos.

"Brassic", complete this Saturday on Canal + Séries and myCanal

A ferocious little gem with a frantic pace.

Created and carried by Joseph Gilgun (

Preacher)

),

Brassic

follows the galleys of Winnie, a

guy suffering

from bipolar disorder and his little band of broken arms followers of screwed up plans in the imaginary small town of Hawley.

With his gallery of completely strangled characters (with a guest star, twisting Dominic West), his WTF situations and his limitless humor,

Brassic

manages to be both politically incorrect and full of humanity.

"Truth Seekers", available on Prime Video

A paranormal comedy as funny as it is frightening! 

Truth Seekers

, a farce signed Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (

Shaun of the Dead

) and Nat Saunders, the creator of the incredible viral success of the BBC

Misery Bear

, will make you sometimes howl with laughter and sometimes hide under the blanket.

The series follows Gus (Nick Frost) and Elton John (Samson Kayo), two internet technicians, who, like Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in The X-Files, go to investigate the paranormal phenomena they witness.

“Fresh Meat”, complete this Tuesday on Canal + Séries and myCanal

Misfits, The Inbetweeners

or

Skins

.

Fresh Meat

, created by Jesse Armstrong (

Estate

) and Sam Bain (

Peep Show

), follows the daily lives of students living in shared accommodation in a house in Manchester.

They have nothing in common except a strong taste for artificial paradises.

Their cohabitation will quickly turn into a merry mess, cynical and sassy.

"Dead Pixels", this Friday on Canal + Séries and myCanal

The ideal sitcom for gamers!

The creator Jon Brown (

Misfits, Succession

) and the director Al Campbell, inveterate gamers, work to celebrate but also to pin down through dialogues as hilarious as explosive the faults of the gaming community.

"Sick Note", available on Netflix

A squeaky comedy!

In

Sick Note

, Rupert Grint (a thousand miles from Hogwarts spells) plays Daniel Glass, a looser who is mistakenly diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

Very quickly, he realizes that the empathy aroused by this diagnosis can make his life easier and pretend to be sick… A task that turns out to be more and more complicated… and hilarious.
