The most gripping sitcom since 1380.
"El hombre debería luchar por una serie de cosas fundamentales: su país, sus principios, su familia y sus amigos...Personalmente, yo lucharía por una caja llena de dinero". Edmund Blackadder" Simplemente la serie cómica más importante rodada jamás en Gran Bretaña.
"Blackadder," a British television series that first aired in 1983, is a comedic masterpiece created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Set in various periods of British history, the show follows the misadventures of the cunning and sarcastic Edmund Blackadder and his dim-witted sidekick, Baldrick. Produced by the BBC, the series brilliantly satirizes historical events and figures, offering a unique blend of slapstick humor and sharp wit. Its clever writing and memorable characters have cemented "Blackadder" as a beloved classic in the UK and beyond. The series spans four seasons, each set in a different historical era, from the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century to the trenches of World War I. Despite the changing settings, the core dynamic between Blackadder and Baldrick remains constant, providing a familiar thread throughout the show's evolution. Rowan Atkinson's portrayal of Blackadder is nothing short of iconic, showcasing his remarkable talent for physical comedy and deadpan delivery. Tony Robinson's portrayal of Baldrick, with his infamous "cunning plans," adds a layer of endearing foolishness that perfectly complements Blackadder's scheming nature. "Blackadder" not only entertained audiences but also left a lasting impact on British comedy. Its influence can be seen in numerous subsequent shows that adopted its irreverent take on history and its character-driven humor. The series also spawned several specials, including the widely acclaimed "Blackadder Goes Forth," which poignantly addressed the futility of war. The show's ability to blend humor with social commentary has made it a timeless piece of television, appreciated by new generations of viewers. In addition to its UK success, "Blackadder" found an audience in Australia, where its humor resonated with viewers. The show's universal appeal lies in its clever writing and the universal themes of ambition, folly, and the absurdity of human nature. Whether it's the medieval court, the Elizabethan era, the Regency period, or the grim realities of World War I, "Blackadder" remains a testament to the power of comedy to entertain and enlighten, making it a cherished part of television history.
