The comedy series follows the war waged by General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Milchit. Anthony was leading British troops on the front lines against the Germans but Blackadder always tries to be away from everything that happens. Blackader is trying to find a way out of this ridiculous war that he considers useless or that things will be disastrous for him.
Despite the show's comedic overpinnings, there are emotional underpinnings that were missing from the previous series, where moments of danger felt camp...It's poetic. Four star series.
For all its formulaic nature, the show was consistently sharp and funny, and even, with its fourth series, Blackadder Goes Forth showed off a beating heart of compassion.
In tribute to the real horrors of World War 1 and the final series for these beloved characters, 'Goodbyeee' stands as one of the most powerful, emotional finales of all time.
The writers and cast are able to be incredibly respectful, not to mention emotionally affecting, as they continually lampoon the most tragic of all comedies, modern warfare.
Despite the harsh setting of the WWI trenches, Blackadder Goes Forth is damn funny stuff, yet, in my opinion, extremely respectful to those that fought and gave their lives in those hellish Flanders trenches.
The last episode, however, although completely over the top...has to be one of the greatest interpretations of the madness of war that has ever been put on film.
Completely switching the show around, Messrs Curtis, Elton and Lloyd showed their skill and delivered a perfectly pitched, poignant ending. It still gets you every time.
"Goodbyeee" is a masterpiece, a hilarious and painful crystallization of everything Blackadder does well. It is without a doubt the best episode of the series and more than that, it's one of the best series finales in television history.
