Why is this so good?

Because no American came near it.

Dry humor mixed with great acting and historical references.
Brian Blessed steals the show in the first season.

thats Blackadder Goes Forth

>>85164022
manly end.

>>85164315
is it the same black adder or are they different people?

>>85164379
it's the same lineage

>>85164379
Its a descendant.

The whole show is basically Jojo - each season is about a new generation

>>85164419
>>85164400
is that the same for the other characters as well?

>>85164447
yes, baldrick mentions how his family has been in servitude of the blackadder family for generations. not sure if the same is true for the other characters, but it very well could be.

>>85163829
Season 3 used to be my least favourite but has recently become my top one.

Also, i genuinely thought theyd added a laugh track for season 2. The actual reason the laughter was so loud and jarring was because its budget was reduced and they were on an absolutely tiny stage, so the audience were right fucking up in it.

Percy in Season 2 was the descendant of Season 1 Percy.

Percy ceased to appear Season 3 onwards, but his actor took on a new character - Darling - in Season 4. Also. Back & Forth suggested that Darling had two ancestors during Season 3 - one French and one British,. Its not hard to imagine that Darling was a descendant of Percy.

Good luck everyone.

4 was kino
2 and 3 was hilarious, but I feel 3 was the funniest though 2 had great episodes as well.
1 was hit and miss, more like a trial run.

Have seen very little of series 1, though series 2-4 are some of the best British comedy ever.

First season had some great jokes

>Blackadder is accused of being a witch and the prosecutor calls an ugly old woman for witness

>Witchsmeller: And have you or have you not committed sins of the flesh with him?
>Ugly old woman: I have...
>Edmund: You must be joking!
>Ugly old woman: ...to my deepest shame.
>Edmund: And mine! I mean, look at her!
>Witchsmeller: Can you describe these foul deeds?
>Ugly old woman: After we had just kissed once, he transformed into a wild animal!
>(The crowd gasps)
>Edmund: Or perhaps I do remember you...

Season 3 was the best season.

Final scene in season 4 was melodramatic shit.

Come at me.
