Black baron, The relentless political chronicle

If the series on politics populate American television, to The West Wing has Scandal, French writers have remained more cautious about the idea of attacking the affairs of the state. Everything changed in 2016, with the shattering entrance to Black baron on the small screen. The series features the merciless Philippe Rickwaert, deputy mayor of the North, in his quest for political ascent. As unbearable as it is brilliant, this politician uses multiple strings at his disposal to achieve his ends and does not stop at anything to climb the steps of power. Kad Merad (Oussekine) excels in this unforgettable dramatic role, almost tailor -made for this prolific actor.

As for the creators of the series, Eric Benzekri and Jean-Baptiste Delafon, they carry out a real goldsmith’s work on all levels: the casting is particularly well chosen, the situations are inspired by real facts and the dialogues are tasty. The three seasons of Black baron Strangely resonate with our current political context, allowing a dizzying and unprecedented abyss.

Do not miss this vibrant ode in three seasons, sparkling costumes, the catchy soundtrack and the replicas become cult.

Calls, Curiosity with chilling tones

Thrill seekers, you are in the right place ! Created by Timothée Hochet in 2017, this sensory UFO largely deserves the detour.

Only the names of the protagonists, their words and a few colors appear on the screen, forcing the spectator to focus all his attention on listening.

This curiosity in three seasons marked French production when it was released and has even been the subject of an American adaptation by Apple TV+. Calls is a small nugget, finely written and interpreted that you would be wrong to miss.

The legendary office, The French spy saga

It was undoubtedly the series that accelerated French production: The legendary office has given back its letters of nobility to hexagonal fiction on the small screen, with its complex characters and its quality writing. Through the adventures of Malotru, an intelligence agent just returned from a mission in Syria and who struggles to resume his real life, the series explores the underside of a relatively unknown system, while giving pride of place to psychology of its protagonists.

The legendary office succeeds in the tour de force to immerse ourselves in the dark environment of the DGSE (Directorate General for External Security), without ever getting lost on the way. Recommend to all lovers of action and geopolitical intrigue in five seasons.

The night when Laurier Gaudreault woke up, Xavier Dolan’s master stroke

For more than ten years, the Quebec filmmaker has had fun in the world of the seventh art, by offering films as varied as Just the end of the world, Mommy Or Laurence Anyways. But Xavier Dolan has now found the best media to bow out and move away from the world of cinema for some time, with The night when Laurier Gaudreault woke up. With this thriller, the director finds his obsession for the characters who return to their native lands after leaving their loved ones for too long.

Rose Matefao, creator and main actress of the series, offers a writing of formidable efficiency, while embodying Jessie with great sincerity.

The two main characters in the series are funny and neurotic at the same time, allowing immediate identification with their romantic story but obviously boxed. And if you wish, you can even complete your Binge-Watching in love with Shrill, comedy feel-good and modern around grossophobia and self -acceptance, also available in Canal+.

Killing Eve, The duel at the top

Mix Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the designer and actress of the series Fleabag, The actresses Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) and Jodie Comer (The last duel), as well as a perfectly tied plot and you will get one of the most badass of this last decade. Killing Eve is a delicious delay bomb, mixing female desire, breathtaking investigation and feminist comic elements. The series dwells on the macabre game of the cat and the mouse between Eve Polastri, a agent of Mi-5 and Villanelle, a serial killer.

This unexpected thriller completely renews spy fictions, by folding all the cards of the genre and English humor if iconic so iconic. The four seasons of Killing Eve are however uneven, but still benefit from a high quality interpretation and a refreshing scenario. Do not miss.

UFO (s), French science fiction (yes, yes)

In 2012, two years before The Leftovers, Fabrice Gobert imagined the return to the life of several people who have died for years, in a small mountain town. Ghosts had marked his time, by becoming one of the first French-fiction-fiction series (also available on Canal+).

Almost ten years later, the whimsical UFO (s) seems to take over, while providing comic lighting to the genre. In the 1970s, Didier Mathure, brilliant space engineer, chained problems. The rocket for which he is responsible has just exploded in full flight and he is therefore transferred to GEPAN, an organization responsible for studying UFOs. In this wacky series, Melvil Poupaud surprises in a offbeat and twisted role. In two seasons, UFO (s) managed to impose his particular style, while proving that hexagonal science fiction was not dead. A tour de force, which will not clearly appeal to everyone, but which should at least intrigue some.

Years and Years, Terrifying dystopia

We are in 2019. Great Britain has just made a hard Brexit, which will modify a whole political and social context. At the same time, the radicality of the extreme right is essential in the ballot boxes, with the candidacy of Vivienne Rook, an ice mix between Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen. The situation reminds you of something ? This is normal: welcome to Years and Years, Dystopia whose realism and sense of timing have already marked hundreds of viewers.

The series has a first size asset: it was created by Russell T Davies, the amazing screenwriter of Doctor Who or moving It’s a sin, not to be missed on channel+. This frightening window on the future proposes to follow the daily life of the Lyons family, faced with an unstable economic and ecological climate, but also with new technologies. The result ? A single shock season of 6 episodes, which will give you mouth of terror or sadness in front of your screen several times, while developing a gallery of characters of great diversity (including the fabulous disabled actress Ruth Madeley). This is called a bingo.

What we do in the shadows Or Schitt’s Creek, The impossible duel of comedies

Difficult to choose between these great therapies by laughter, so we decided to present the two to you. To our left in the ring, one of the funniest parody documentaries on the small screen, around a New York colocation. But these Friends Modern times are actually three vampires aged several centuries and … a human. You will necessarily fall under the spell of Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja and Guillermo, completely perched characters but above all hilarious. What we do in the shadows is a biting comedy, with short episodes and four seasons as embarrassing as it is improbable.

On our right, the surprise success of the Golden Globes ceremony in 2021, which won everything in its path: Schitt’s Creek. Rather unknown in France until its rain of awards, the series was finally broadcast by Canal+. The pink family literally rides gold for decades.
