These are old English Series that I discovered
recently.
Having a small break from ‘Sons of anarchy’, I
thought to give a try on this one.
The series consist of 3 seasons, of 6 short
episodes for each season.
That means that you can finish it in a couple
of days easily.
Black boks is a typical English comedy
including 3 main characters:
Bernard Black is an extremely antisocial heavy
smoker and drinker owner of a small bookstore, that he is lazy, rude, cynical,
and perfectly happy with it! His only friend in the world is Fran, the girl
from the shop next door, who is actually a neurotic and boyfriend-desperate
young woman and Bernard’s launch time
drinking partner.
Third main character is Manny, and accountant
that Bernard hires after his old accountant
is on the run, but in the end finds himself doing almost everything in the
shop. Even cooking!
It is a light funny series that I recommend
mostly because they are very short and it doesn’t make you bored. (As long as
you are fond of the English sense of humor…)
The
rating on IMDB is 8.7, but my opinion is that is overrated.
You can give it a try and see for yourselves…
You can have a small idea on this trailer
here:
I remember this one, and think I caught the odd episode, but I never really enjoyed it at all. Hey, if you haven't already done so, you should check out Father Ted. There aren't many episodes as the main actor sadly died, but it is amazingly funny and if you like Fawlty Towers, you should like this. One of my favourite episodes is a parody to Speed involving an electric powered milk delivery van and a brick!! I seriously pee myself at this show :))I was planning on doing a review of it on my blog one day.
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell from one episode only. It's a rather funny series, but nothing special. A few episodes are hillarious though.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about 'Father Ted', but I will check it out.
Thanks! :)
