When I was a kid, I loved Mr. Bean and tried to watch these 15 episodes multiple times but never made it through.
With some help from the almighty Amazon, I finally got what I wanted and wish I hadn't. Why?
Because it shattered my illusion.
He represents everything we dislike about others these days. We are "the girlfriend", we dislike the way he's trying to be funny; we dislike the way he treats people including us (girls). We dislike the way he lives; we dislike the way he handles difficult situations. We disapprove of the way he's trying to win us back after realizing (too late) that he might have done something wrong. But what he wouldn't admit.
I'm deeply sorry for turning this into some psychologic review especially as we all know that Mr. Bean should be seen as a comedic character. But fact is, this classic didn't age well.
