Upstart Crow Season 1
I was quite keen to look into this new BBC series with David Mitchell playing Shakespeare in a Blackadder-esque concept. In the end it's entertaining, but not much more. Blackadder shone because the secondary characters were strong and very involved. Upstart Crow lacks strong characters for Mitchell to play against, and is weakened as a consequence. Worth a few chuckles, but won't go down in history like Blackadder 2-4.
