    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.

    A review seems pointless, since if you can read you're already smarter than the target audience.
    Man Vs Bee is Atkinson saying that even Mr Bean wasn't aiming low enough. Now the target audience is anyone who will laugh at the same joke, over and over and over again, while their eyes glaze over.

    Perhaps you know a drooling imbecile who finds the concept of someone chasing a bee and leaving carnage behind them to be even remotely funny, but if you do then you can probably just leave them to watch one of the many thousands of sketches that have already done this concept to destruction, on a loop. There's nothing new here.
    Man Vs Bee is horrible, unwatchable garbage, which will be turned off within a minute or two, by anyone capable of working a remote.
    It's a terrible reflection on Netflix and what had appeared to be improving quality control.    … Expand

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
