Let’s hope, in any case, that the coming years will be more favorable to satirical content like this in 5 years Because after termination Information dolls In 2018, there are several programs that except Groland (Also broadcast on Canal +), have at least this important ambition. in this in 5 years Expected.

Expectations were finally fully met. culture, school, ecology, fake newsNationalism, new technologies, relationship between men and women, sports, police… a large number of topics are covered in barely an hour. Of the ten or so quality sketches on offer, some stand out, for the subtlety of the critical and comical insight they take on our society today, or for the originality and credibility of the strong ideas that are discovered on various topics.

This is the case of the first sketch, which presents a world where the state, with the help of an algorithm, has come every year to assign two friends to each person, and in the process impose a series of rights and duties. Maintain these relationships until the end of the year.

Another example, a few sketches later, when we find Hakeem, who, after once shopping at the teller (voiced by Jamel Debussy), has run afoul of France’s new national environmental policy: in addition to closing all its borders. , the country now requires two “Made in here” products to buy products of foreign origin.

Inspired by theater, social media and popular celebrity news, these new genres of movies offer the public an opportunity to see scenes from the real life of actors and actresses.

And to think that in certain ideas we recognize inspiration from real and recent events, there is sometimes reason to laugh, think… and get angry.
