Black Books (2000–2004)
Best series ever
17 October 2010
This is by far the best comedy series I have ever seen. The witty ideas just seem to surprise you and the atmosphere is something one will remain with as something familiar and friendly. When I think of it it seems like I spent my vacation with some dear nutty friends, not watching a movie. The actors are also giving their best, totally love Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey in this gem of a show, and Tamsin Greig is so well guided that she makes you laugh and love her in the same time, perhaps she is more dear to the viewer that she would be if one would meet her in person, I don't know. A pessimistic, unadapted bookseller with smoking and drinking problems (Dylan Moran) befriends an air headed clerk (Tamsin Grieg) and unwillingly hires a long-haired ex accountant to slave around and sell books, with maximum hilarious effect, that's Black Books in a very very simplified nutshell. They are all great. Geniuses. Only one minor criticism that a friend pointed out: the laugh tracks. But never mind, once you get the taste of this great comedy show, you will not notice them.
