The other day, my whole family watched Man vs. Bee together. There were ten of us in the room, aged 4 to 76, and we were all laughing and enjoying. What a sweet moment, and what talent from Rowan Atkinson.
I don't think it's the fact that it's a "Short". It's Rowan fucking Atkinson. He is a consummate comedian, in every sense of the word. He could make reciting they entire Library of Congress fucking hilarious if he put his mind to it.
It's a different genre altogether, but it's an idea related to runtime I brought up to my wife years ago. She had a police procedural, no idea which one, on in the background. The bad guy had kidnapped a woman and had her hostage on a houseboat. At about thirty minutes into the 60 minute episode, he put a gun to his own head, then to hers. I shouted, "GEE, THINK HE'LL DO IT WITH HALF THE RUNTIME LEFT?"
Atkinson is a comedic phenomenon. But it’s a shame he hasn’t returned to playing Inspector Maigret. That’s a good idea for an episode, when comedians go serious.
I didn't plan on watching this, but started it the other day. Soon the whole family was watching and laughing our heads off. It reminded me of when we discovered Mr. Bean on public TV back in the 90's
I thought this was a great vehicle for Rowan Atkinson. It's basically Mr Bean, but because he's playing a real person it's OK that he's older. Rather than a live action cartoon character, like Mr Bean, that feels a bit sad as an old man.
I’m so ready to binge this show. As a huge fan of Mr. Bean & Rowan’s comedy, I cannot wait for the weekend to begin to watch this delightful looking show. I really wish we had more than the less than 20 known Bean episodes. I’ve rewatched my A&E Boxset 10x
This is why slapstick comedy really needs to make a comeback. Comedians like Rowan Atkinson I admire for keeping this secret art alive

Without the end credits and Netflix intros, this series runs a tight 90 minutes. I'd love to see more shows like this.
I really hope this show is a massive success to bring back good and old physical, slapstick comedy, done right.
Peter MacNicol's complete and utter freakout in the 1997 movie "Bean" when he sees the butchered painting never ceases to make me laugh.
This really feels like a new Mr. Bean series and despite the admittedly dodgy CGI at some places the show works.

Rowan Atkinson simply doesn't age. A bit of hair dye and strategic makeup and he could easily play young Blackadder again
Will Ferrell always was the embodiment of anti-humor for me.

Forget Vecna in Stranger Things, I would argue the bee is the greatest villain we’ve ever seen in a Netflix show.
You have totally sold me! Just these little clips had me bust out in laughter. Rowan is a master at his craft.

Always look forward to uploads from this channel, regardless of what it is about

Great to see Rowan Atkinson back. What a comedic legend!
Happy to see Rowan Atkinson back on the screen.
Saw this with wife and daughter. We loved it.
