I was happily surprised when I saw BLACKADDER II because even though the series was set almost a hundred years later, it still managed to maintain the same level of humor and enjoyability. This time, instead of occurring during the supposed reign between Richard III and Henry VII, Edmund Blackadder was a courtier in the time of Elizabeth I. Fortunately for the audience, the characters are as stupid or unscrupulous as ever and the show picks up wonderfully where it left off the previous season.
Like BLACKADDER, each half hour episode tell a story (almost always ending badly) in the sorry life of the fictional Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson). Considering that Miranda Richardson, Tim McInnerny, Tony Robinson and Stephen Fry are there for support, the show was blessed with a lot of talent--and the same can be said about the writers.
Funny, very irreverent and rather adult, this is a very funny series that you can enjoy--just don't let the little ones watch!
