Blackadder
La Vipère noire
8.08.0
Cette série humoristique suit les mésaventures de deux personnages, Edmund Blackadder et son domestique Baldrick, à travers les faits marquants de l'histoire de l'Angleterre, de 1485 à 1917. Les deux héros sont, à chaque saison, les descendants de leurs familles respectives. Il s'agit, en quelque sorte, d'une saga familiale s'étendant par pointillés sur plus de quatre siècles.

I'll start off this review by saying that "Blackadder" is, in my opinion, easily one of the best British comedy TV shows in existence, and I think many would agree with me on that one. There isn't really a bad thing that I have to say about this: it has a pretty decent cast, great acting, loveable characters and endless laughs. Rowan Atkinson did a marvellous job playing the role of the several Blackadders and I have to award credit to the other great actors as well, such as Tony Robinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Tim McInnerny, Miranda Richardson and Brian Blessed; they ALL did a fantastic job in their roles. Other great actors also guest starred in various episodes, including Miriam Margolyes, Jim Broadbent, Robbie Coltrane and the late Rik Mayall (R.I.P, Rik. You were and still are a British comedy legend).
"Blackadder" takes place in different historical time periods, revolving around the lives of the Edmund Blackadders (Atkinson) and the Baldricks (Robinson); from the first series onwards, the lives of their descendants are eternally intertwined, along with (occasionally) the descendants of Lord Percy (McInnerny) and Prince George (Laurie); series 1 and 2 for Percy and series 3 onwards for George. The great thing is that in each series, the characters are completely identical to their counterparts from the previous series (although their characters differ in the first series); effectively, actors like Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson reprise their roles, except that you know that they are not playing the same characters they played in the previous series; there is no differentiation between their new roles and their previous.
This box set is perfect for any Blackadder fan to own, because not only does it contain all four series, but it also contains the bonus episodes as well, although this doesn't include the unaired pilot episode. I've seen that episode on Youtube and I don't think it's anything to get excited about. In fact, the first series' second episode serves as a remake of that episode, as well as a vast improvement of it.
