I watched this so long ago, and I remember I loved it. It was my first encounter with Rowan Atkinson, and I have to say this guy is freakin funny! I'd love to watch it again.
Description:Set in England at the end of the War of the Roses, we soon find out that the history we know is a Tudor fiction. In fact, Henry VII did not actually win the battle of Bosworth Field; he lost and though Richard III died in the battle, his nephew King Richard IV (who certainly was not smothered while still a boy in the Tower of London) Set in England at the end of the War of the Roses, we soon find out that the history we know is a Tudor fiction. In fact, Henry VII did not actually win the battle of Bosworth Field; he lost and though Richard III died in the battle, his nephew King Richard IV (who certainly was not smothered while still a boy in the Tower of London) reigned on for some years. The story focuses on Richard IV's younger son Prince Edmund, a sniveling coward who calls himself the 'Black Adder'. Assisted by his grungy servant Baldrick and the moronic Lord Percy, Edmund plots his rise to greatness.
"Watched 17.11
1 season of 6 episodes
5 points for just "must be the Jeremy of Estonia" in the epsiode of 3 :D Overall hilarious series, brit humour at its best!"
"7.3 - 10.3
Sarjan ilmeisesti heikoin tuotantokausi ja silti näin toimiva. Myöhäiskeskiaikaisissa kulisseissa sekoillaan hulvattomasti ja itse Musta Kyy on säälittävyydessään kyllä omaa luokkaansa. Ei tästä sen kummempaa vielä."
"Katsottu: 8.3.2012
Musta Kyy tuli joskus 10 vuotta sitten telkkarista. Silloin jo pidin tästä sarjasta ja se toimii edelleen helvetin hyvin. Ensimmäinen kausi tosin ei mielestäni edusta aivan parasta Kyytä. Atkinson ei ole roolissaan vielä aivan niin jäätävä kuin tulevilla kausilla sekä Baldrick ei pahemmin hauskuuta. Muutenkin tässä ensimmäisessä kaudessa on selkeästi sellaista kokeellisuutta, että mihin suuntaan sarjaa olisi hyvä kehittää jatkossa. Onneksi työryhmä ymmä"
