One of the best sitcoms ever, this final series boasts the famous 'poppy field ending' and some great episodes. Still stands out as the best thing either Atkinson or Curtis have done in their career. Fry and Palmer steal the show.

Still very funny, though I felt that updating these characters to WWI era dulled the edge of some of the humor. I guess I just preferred the medieval setting.

Five of the Six episodes were the best out of the series as a whole but the final episode was a total stinker and lowered my rating significantly.

It has its moments from time-to-time. People talk about how the conclusion is poignant, but I found it to be somewhat forced. In the end, these are all characters whose humanity never truly shine, making the ending less effective than it should be. But it's a comedy so whatever.

Blackadder series have a nice concept (following a group of characters over the course of history,with Blackadder being a conniving, evil scum). This 4th season might be the best one (2nd season is also particularly good); taking place in WWI, with brilliant wordplays and some top notch moments by some actors who have become madly popular later.

Every other line of dialogue in "Blackadder Goes Forth" is as side-splitting as it gets. The cast consisting of the dream-team of Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and Tim McInnerny is of course exquisite, the power-play dynamics of their archetypal characters flourishing in the context of an army. The final Blackadder series is as razor-sharp funny and endlessly quotable as one would expect after its predecessors, and yet its finale is unpredictably but fittingly poignant.
