    An enjoyable 6 hours, no matter if you're a passing Python fan or a full fledged zealot. These guys have influenced comedy in so many ways.

    It does manage to convey a sense of the personalities of the members of the show and how they cooperated.

    It is a treat, if not a revelation, for fans. This is very well plowed ground, after all. As for the as yet uninitiated, what they don’t find baffling they’ll likely find excessive.

    They say analyzing comedy kills it, but in this case, it's one revelation after another. Add rare footage of their early years, some non-Python TV appearances, tense on-set footage filmed during the making of their movies, and clips of their greatest hits, and you've got Monty nirvana.
