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.

Stephen Fry's best.

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.

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.

Hilarious while also being respectful to it's subject. I couldn't recommend this show enough.

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.

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.

Pretty much impossible to accurately rate given such a strong childhood connection, but it does hold up fantastically.

Wonderful series, with a great season finale...except this is a TV series, not a movie. Is this supposed to be on here?

The final series of Blackadder does not disappoint and features some of the strongest episodes.

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.

The whole 'Baldrick you're a very overwrought metaphor relating to a smelly peasant' shtick was getting a bit thin at this point.

That it's funny is great. The ending is one of the greatest in TV history.
