So I read this review, and had to watch Man vs Bee.
Funny thing is, it was the first suggestion just as I fired up Netflix. The series is over-the-top and crazy. The episodes are really short. The last few seconds of every episode will make you go "oh nooooo".
I really enjoyed the series. Don't wanna compare to Mr Bean or Blackadder, it is a very different, very unique, very lighthearted show.
Apart from the bee itself, was funny to see Atkinson struggling with a smarthome, which I feel could have been fleshed out more. Nothing went wrong in the shower for example. The doors for the kitchen cabinet would only open with an elbow wave, and there was an over the top security system. But there are so many other trials and tribulations with modern technologies... the batteries in the dog collar could have run out for example, it might be difficult to pair the tablet with the smart piano, resulting in a musical piece playing out in the automated lights and blinds for example... there are a million things that could go wrong and didn't, and it's just a missed opportunity in a show like this.
Hopefully there is a season 2.
Still, ez reco.
