Are you a fan of sarcasm and dark humor? Then you’ll love these British comedy shows on Netflix right now.
The IT Crowd
A sit-com about technicians working in the IT department sounds mundane on paper, but the mundanity of the job leads to some pretty uniquely funny circumstances.
The Inbetweeners
If you have seen the U.S. remake and not the original UK version, it’s time to amend that mistake. The Inbetweeners is a classic British comedy about teenage boys who are all equally terrible in their own charming way.
Jack Whitehall Travels With His Father
You may recognize Jack Whitehall from Fresh Meat or Bad Education. The British comedian decided to travel the world with his father and make a docu-series about his experiences. It’s heartwarming, interesting, and very funny.
Derry Girls
Derry Girls shines a light on life as a teenage girl growing up in England in the ’90s. It’s charming, funny, and a compelling portrayal of working-class life at the end of the millennium.
Cuckoo
Greg Davis is a national comedic treasure. While Man Down is also one of our favorites, Cuckoo makes the list based on the fact that each season somehow gets funnier and more ridiculous than the last.
After Life
Ricky Gervais wrote and starred in a dark comedy about life as a widower. It can be heavy at times, but overall it is an uplifting and superbly funny series.
