I was really excited about this after someone labelled it the lost brother of 'Our flag means death'. Well, it is NOT! It is also has nothing to do with Blackadder or any other great British classics. The jokes are nowhere near as smart or funny, the story seems forced and the acting is rather dull. I think I almost laughed once, like you'd laugh at a 5 year-old's joke, to satisfy them rather than because it was actually funny.
The only reason I am not scoring it even less is because the premise is good, shame about the execution. Seems like Apple just wanted to jump on the band wagon of historical comedy, by just hiring some big names.
It was so awful I couldn't watch more than half an episode, and then regretted wasting even that little precious time.
If you love British comedy... spend your time watching better things.
