    Atkinson, by contrast, is intentionally funny in all nine episodes of this sitcom. Atkinson, with his writer Will Davies and director David Kerr, realise that comedy is not tragedy plus time, but stuff plus idiot.

    It’s smartly produced and directed, and Atkinson as Bingley is much more engaging than Bean, and is still game enough to spend much of his time on screen in his underpants.

    You certainly need to be in the mood to laugh at slapstick in order to enjoy Man Vs. Bee. But there is no one on the planet who does slapstick better than Rowan Atkinson, and this series shows off all the skills that have made his career so successful.

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

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

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