      Blackadder the Third — Goes Forth

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Undoubtedly the most heart-filled of the Blackadder series, Blackadder Goes Forth somehow manages to find real humor in the horrors of warfare, before coming to an appropriately poignant and poetic close.

      Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Personally, I fail to understand the kerfuffle around that fact that this satisrises war. It is brilliantly funny and lest that not be forgotten. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Empire Staff Empire Magazine 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. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Don Shirley Los Angeles Times The show elicits a few helpless belly laughs, but it takes an initial period of adjustment to get to them. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Kate Kulzick AV Club "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. Rated: A Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Carley Tauchert Den of Geek 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. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy The satirical pen of Curtis and Elton was at its sharpest when it came to tackling the topic of the Great War in 1989's Blackadder Goes Forth. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend 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. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
