Blackadder - Blackadder Goes Forth

From the royal chambers and noble palaces, we move into the despair and filth of the trenches of World War I, where the Black Adder, as a cynical experienced professional of the British colonial army, tries to maneuver among the limited British officers who attempt to apply combat experiences from long-fought colonial wars of the past on the modern battlefield, facing the deadly German machinery on the other side of no man's land. The humor becomes even darker - such joking before the firing squad or just before an attack against the wall of enemy machine guns truly becomes gallows humor. Yet it is precisely thanks to the proximity of death that traditional light banter takes on a more serious tragicomic dimension. The final scene, where all the characters rise for a senseless attack and then through editing, the war-torn field, riddled with grenades, transforms into a meadow densely covered with red poppy flowers, is one of the strongest scenes I've ever seen in a sitcom. Overall impression: 95%. (11/20/2013)

A fantastic conclusion to an excellent saga with a traditionally great cast and amazing humor with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Season 4 takes on an anti-war tone, giving you some food for thought while you are rolling on the floor laughing. The ending of the final episode was a masterpiece. (08/12/2016)
