1670

God knows, since "The Hundred Year Old Man who Jumped out of a window and Disappeared ', I can't say that I found same satisfaction in any comedy of kind.

This ain't the same perhaps but it's nearing This show is equal to 3x Prozacs..so make sure you have it on your face flicks' list... if needed. SO uplifting, such amazing acting, location, costumes,camera, choreography, dances, music And especially Hats... Plus When is the last time you find yourself watching a TV Show where All characters are Adorable??

Costumes, Location, Hats, Script,Costumes,Dialogues, location, art direction, camera, direction are all superb.

Loved casually dropped innuendo and dry humor and sarcastic yet kind references.

This is a MUST see show to relish. Hope there will be a second season..Gosh We missed it soon as it ended:((

You do Not wish to leave them when it ends..You Rather be in the set With them.

Very good time period comedy while also touching many modern themes. Politically quite incorrect which is a great boon nowadays, the excellent witty writing, filmography, sets and costume design accompanied with a great cast makes it a must watch to all lovers of history and comedy.

Gave it a 9/10 due to some points probably getting lost to audiences that are not familiar with history, for history fans it will be a 10/10 for sure.

This from a Croatian that has some similarities with the historical setting, although not having the main social group involved, namely the Szlachta around which all evolves.

In Croatia we do have a similar type of comedy, but with the family of a Croatian Prince in early middle ages, called "Mrkomir". 1670 is on a much higher scale though, primarily in the writing sense, as it dwells much deeper in the satirical element rather than just scratching actual political themes while setting them in the middle ages.

Kudos to Poland for this production, hope for a new season soon!

I came across this show while scrolling, and I have to say, it's hysterical! I'm an American who doesn't know anything about Polish history or how to speak Polish, but I find it hilarious. Pro tip: watch it in the original language with subtitles. The dub isn't great.

There's a lot of physical comedy, plus a lot of similar quirks as The Office and Parks & Rec. Looking at the camera, forbidden love interest, incompetent boss, etc etc.

I'm only on episode 3, but it's been a great watch so far! Definitely a bright spot to an awful week. I can't wait to finish this show and watch it again and again!

Give it a chance, it'll charm you!

The trailer is kind of weak, I wasn't convinced. But I tried it. Wow! What a pleasant surprise in a world full of garbage comedies. It's funny, it's smart, it's stupid, it's not politically correct, it's pleasant, entertaining. It reminds me of Norsemen, but in my opinion, this is way better. This comedy show is one of the best I saw in the last few years. This and "Cunk on Earth".

Too bad that probably a lot of people will not watch this show because is in Polish and they will have to read the subtitles. I am not Polish and I enjoyed so much

I cannot wait for the next season. I really hope that will be a second season. And more. 8 episodes are not enough! Please make some more seasons. The world of good comedy is so dry.

The mockumentary comedy style has been popular since the UK version of "The Office", its American remake (one of the few successful American versions of an overseas TV show), and countless spin-offs.

"1670" is Poland's version of the mockumentary formula.

It takes a lot of the tropes from the genre: the arrogant but dimwitted main character, the slowly building romance that pays off at the end, enjoyable comic relief characters, lots of farcical humour, and plenty of direct-to-camera asides.

Jan Pawel Adamczewski (Bartlomiej Topa) - the head of a Szlachta noble family - is the David Brent/Michael Scott archetype: blessed with a healthy ego and oblivious to how stupid and useless he actually is. Not surprisingly, most of the jokes are at his expense, along with plenty of jokes about the quirks of living in 17th century Poland. Though those familiar with Polish history will probably need to leave their knowledge at the door.

The big drawback of this show is the American dubbing on Netflix. With the all-Polish cast speaking Polish, the dubbing feels unnatural at first, but you eventually get used to it. It's a shame Netflix didn't keep it in the original language with subtitles: perhaps they were worried a show in a foreign language wouldn't be as popular as one with American accents?

Despite this dubbing issues, "1670" is an enjoyable mockumentary that's worth investing your time in.
