It's fun - suntep
I liked it, but had trouble with a fast paced langauge and no subtitles was very annoying as I'm hard of hearing. It's makes it hard for me to judge this seris. I would say what I did get was fun and witty. I did apreciate the amazing amout of word play used. If you like Mr. Bean I think you will like this.Thin Blue Line - Catahoula
If anyone has seen the Black Adder series and of course the the Mr. Bean series, this collection is the icing on the cake. All that one expects of Rowan Atkinson is present here. One always wishes for a character that one could meet in regular life, well here he is as a Chief Constable. He is here with all of his weaknesses and strengthes. He could be the guy next door, but quirky.Fun stuff! - Komodogirl
It's not groundbreaking, or 'edgey', it's just good plain, fast paced, absolute joyful fun. Rowan Atkinson is matched with an excellent ensemble (I lurve constable Goody) and quick paced, slapstick humour that'll keep you on your toes, and giggling for hours.
The 3rd disc, or 'extras', can largely be skipped unless you're a HUGE Ben Elton fan, which I doubt anyone outside of the UK is, but rent this series, you won't regret it!
