1670

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!

This is the show that should replace SNL.

This is a well-crafted and acted story. The humor is infused in almost every monument. Lots of satire of yesteryear directed right back at today. The characters are well-conceived, the actors are perfect for their roles, and the direction and script are excellent. The whole is much more than the parts of which it's made. You'll want more!

One of the cool things underlying the story is the rich history of Poland. It's fascinating to see how its historical period can be used for satirical social commentary of the times we live in today. For a moment, you'll ask yourself, have things changed? Then you'll snap out of it and laugh.

I found it quite humorous,

It feels like a combination of "The Office", "Modern Family" and "Monty Pathon" meets the 17 century :).

The show humorously deals with historical and modern political\social\cultural topics and events through the lens of 17th century eastern Europe.

With each episode you feel attached more and more to the different characters as they weave through their day to day events.

Excellent period costumes, music and writing that effectively captures the period and enhances the comedic story telling.

I look forward to more seasons, assuming Netflix doesn't cancel the show.

Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys period comedies.

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!

Went in with no big expectations but I am absolutely shocked how much I loved this - watched it in one go! I am from Latvia so a lot of the historical themes and background knowledge is culturally very close to me, but I am pretty sure that the series translates well to other nations as well. It's like The Office and Stromberg (a German TV series with black humour) meeting the 17th century. Good actors, good story line and great jokes weaving in the 21st century as well - I laughed out loud more times than I could count. Well done, Poland, I can recommend this series to everyone! Will show it to my family too.
