    Mr. Bean is a SITCOM. That it is what it is defined as. But I assure it possibly couldn't be far from that as far as the concept and theme ofMr. Bean is a SITCOM. That it is what it is defined as. But I assure it possibly couldn't be far from that as far as the concept and theme of the genre described any further finding common grounds in the studio audience's recorded laughter and the MC(s) doing goofy **** This is show so much beyond that and so much better than most things that came after. The fact that is short and every inch packed with glorious talent that the world couldn't help but recognize makes it all the better.

    Hats off to Sir Rowan Atkinson made the character of a lifetime and everybody who has ever seen him bring it to life knows it is highest elevation of solo performance. I had seen the show many years ago on a TV channel called Pogo and found it funny. Now grown-up and with a chance to experience to have the whole of that hysterical experience once and for all, I found utterly hilarious. Once in a while you find shows like this which make you scared you might hurt your bowels while laughing too hard cause you can't stop having no control over yourself in moments like this. I so admire this man now, and would place Mr. Bean even above my all-time-favorite, Blackadder Goes Forth.

    But even though I have praised a solo act so much does no way mean that the show could have done without various supporting cast chipping in and the punctuated music and sounds that the goofy stories being shown couldn't have done without. I would like especially mention Richard Curtis who was the co-writer on the many of the episodes of the show and went onto time-enduring classics such as Love Actually (Atkinson makes a guest appearance alongside some of the biggest names in the British film industry; It is also another must watch on my list) and About Time (It is really about that and a little bit more about love). I wish I had seen his movies after I started doing these reviews, as my policy is to onl write in about stuff I have seen fairly recently and within a week of having watched it. But if and when I do re-watch Curtis's classics, I will love to write about it. Also, my appreciation goes to Mathilda Ziegler who played Mr Bean's Girlfriend. She seemed very talented and had just right amount non-movement and expression in the 'chauffeur-queen-greeting' sketch (I think, i don't remember correctly) and then there were her exchanges with the titular character; oh how she tried things for love and failed hard to our delight (Schadenfreude never had a better example). I found out she is very successful actress who is considered an integral part of the British classic show, Eastenders and also happily teaches at The Norwich School (of Drama?) where she was seen discussing a play with Dame Judi Dench. So she turned out great and that made me happy.
    Let's be honest and end it here. It is 2018 and that is 28 years since the show was released and all of people I mentioned and their common intersection on the intersection in the world of visual art are legendary material. This is a review only because that is what it is to be called, otherwise it is an exercise of self-reminiscence that I needed to perpetrate for posterity's sake.    … Full Review »
