Atkinson has lost none of his skill and you will watch it quite happily, but it just lacks the genius of Mr Bean. The set pieces are almost too perfect, with slick production and the feeling that everything has been precision-tooled to deliver a satisfying customer experience.
-
Man vs Bee is nothing other than a simple, clownish comedy with zero agenda other than to make people laugh.
-
It is slightly too long (it should probably have been six episodes rather than nine, and the pace lulls in the middle), and certain highly capable comedy actors are completely wasted (Fresh Meat's Greg McHugh is just sort of there). But on the whole it's a diverting, lightweight series which caters to its audience and knows what it's there to do.

Jun 25, 2022This show is just dumb fun and it's great. A funny concept done very well with a great performance from Atkinson

Jun 25, 2022It's frustratingly unintelligent, with a premise that isn't worth more than an SNL sketch at most.

Sep 6, 2022Worthwhile, I'll watch another season if/when it comes out, which is more than I can say about most shows.
