Title: A different kind of Blackadder, here, though no worse for it
Review: Goes Forth was received somewhat cooly when it came out, as I remember. It lacked the carefree humour that we had associated with its predecessors. But perhaps we just knew that the characters that were being lampooned in this last series were all too real. It was somehow less funny, because we knew that there were Melchetts aplenty dictating matters from behind the lines. The difference being that these real-life Melchetts were not in the least funny: They were dinosaurs who disregarded their obligation to oversee the efficiency of their activities in the arena of the First World War and displayed a flagrant lack of interest in the tactical wisdom of their approach to war, generally.But Goes Forth, holds something for the viewer in spite, or perhaps because, of this. It rates perfect marks for me because the futility and stupidity of this period in our history is made digestible, and yet the lesson is there to be absorbed.
