Upstart Crow Season 1
I'd watched Upstart Crow when it first came out and hadn't really been taken, as this old review will attest. At the request of my 14yo daughter, we watched it together again, and for some reason I enjoyed it a lot more. I think, in part, it's because I'm catching a lot more of the Shakespeare references, and in part also because the character of Robert Greene, the interpretation of which I really hated, grates less now. All in all enjoyable, mocking, as Ben Elton did with the original Blackadder, our modern failings via this faux historical comedy. Maybe not quite as brilliant as Blackadder, but certainly worth a watch.
