You are so right. series 1 is fine, but every other series is much better.

Richard IV, Edmond's father, is played by the one and only BRIAN BLESSED. The man is an absolute force of nature and you may have seen him in Flash Gordon or I, Claudius (where he is genuinely superb).
It is, by the way, the law, that when referring to him in text, it's always BRIAN BLESSED in block capitals. The size of his persona demands it.

There is definitely stuff to enjoy in series 1 but bear in mind the rest is very different and imo twice as good. So this is like a warm up lap!

Off topic, but how about The Notorious Bettie Page while cosplaying as Betty Page? Sorry. I joined for the pictures. Didn’t realize you react to stuff, too. How about some groovy Bon Jovi reactions? Kidding. Jon’s too pretty and would make you look plain in comparison.

I enjoyed this a lot, Coby. I’m a big fan of Rowan Atkinson. So this was a treat for me. The only good thing about this winter storm has been being there for the premieres.

Resubscribed when I saw you were reacting to Blackadder. Series II, III, and IV are absolutely incredible. If you had asked me I would have told you to skip the first season.

I could repeat the entire conversation Terry and I had, but instead I'll just say "Huzzah!"
