I'm only through 2 episodes, but really? This is meant to be funny???

Pretty average start.

Blackadder only really kicked off in S2 when they switched around the Blackadder and Baldrick characters. Atkinson being sardonic and Robinson being his whipping boy is what made it.
Just skip S1 altogether.

There's some great bits in 1, but like Young Ones, season 2 is better

@crucial I thnk ep 3 was the only good one so far (where he was supposed to marry the Spanish Princess)

I have seen plenty of the wartime eps, and know I like them, so I will keep going.

S2 has brilliance interspersed with stupidity, S3 the same but Hugh Laurie lifts it higher.

ive always thought, if "the Office" didn't exist, then the next series of Blackadder should have been set in an office, as "they" become less important each time around, Prince > Lord and advisor to the Queen > butler to a Prince > Army officer ....middle management

started sweet tooth, well made and emotional so far

S1 has Brian Blessed so of course it is worth watching. The series only gets better from S1-4.

I have S2 and S3 best, then S1 / S4 tied

Late to the party I know, but damn, how good is "Mare of Easttown".

My wife and I binged it in a day over the long weekend here. Just could not stop watching.

Don't bother with many of the Emmy's this year, they are already taken.

@voodoo there were stand out scenes for me. I love it though. The episode with "THE INTERNET" and Jen's new shoes, and most of later in the series.

@r-l best for me was the episode where Roy was caught in the disabled toilet at the theatre, so good

@taniwharugby yes!!! God i had rewatch that.

This is why you shouldn't use the disabled toilets unless you are... OR You are a horny cheating rugby player.

Ben Elton joined Curtis and Atkinson to write series 2, 3, 4. It got much better. I know much of it off by heart, like Farty Towels and some of the Python stuff.

@snowy Yes, season 1, was by far the weakest but still had its moments.

“You promise not to pass laws over Scotland “?

“I promise”…… “I wouldn’t pass water over Scotland”.

I tried to like this.
Couldn't stand the younger main character.
Awful.
