I really wanted to like this, Rowan Atkinson back in a purely slapstick series should be an easy win. But I have to conclude it's one of the most pointless shows I've ever seen. I cannot fathom any reason for it to exist other than a big payday for all involved. One or two chuckles but nowhere near his usual quality.
I've not finished the series yet but absolutely love what I've seen so far. I screamed with laughter regularly, and involuntarily clasped my hands to my face in horror at one particular piece of destruction.
Thank God there's someone making something that has no point other than to entertain.
I like the bite sized episode lengths, something you can only really do on streaming services.
Just a has-Bean?
Yes - I thought his claim to have "come up with a new character" was stretching it a bit
Yeah, and I'm so f**ked off with this Rowan Atkinson interview where he speaks out against cancel culture. Yeah, trangsression all over, Mr Bean, innit? How politicians must have trembled, mothers must have rushed to protect their kids, the Board of Censorhip must have been shaken to its very foundations the minute Mr Bean hit the TV! Man, you make Lenny Bruce look like Les Dennis! You just don't care who you offend with your racy, politically scathing, socially rad comedy, do you? Move over Bill Hicks, here's Mr Bean and his whacky accent! Take THAT, establishment!
I like Rowan Atkinson so much! So I liked this show.

You're f**ked off that someone is against cancel culture?
