1670

I've been quite sad that Netflix cancelled Norsemen as it was exactly the type of comedy I liked: witty, but pretending to be dumb and absurd. 1670 is just like that and maybe even a bit better. The show runners do not shy away from portraying polarising topics like casual racism and discrimination in a humorous way that first makes one laugh, but then find themselves in the show's characters and hopefully reflect a bit.

I also loved these nod to modern times they made (parking lots for horses, boat attendants telling the passengers about safety features etc.), they made us laugh every time. Hope Netflix doesn't close this one after a season or two like it loves to do.

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 series is an absolute gem, and its charm lies in its smooth, thin humor that is nothing short of exceptional. As the final episode approached, I found myself on the verge of tears, a testament to the emotional impact it had on me. What sets it apart is its impeccable sense of timing and an ability to strike the perfect balance between humor and heart.

I stumbled upon this hidden treasure on Netflix with no particular expectations, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. Within just a few minutes into the first episode, I realized that I had stumbled upon something truly special. The humor, though subtle, is incredibly on point, leaving you with a constant stream of chuckles throughout. It's not just funny; it's downright entertaining.

What makes this series stand out is its attention to detail. Every little nuance, every carefully crafted moment, contributes to the overall brilliance of the show. It's the kind of series that invites you to pay attention, rewarding you with hidden gems and subtle jokes that might go unnoticed on a casual watch. It's this commitment to perfection that elevates it from being merely good to being exceptional.

The emotional journey it takes you on is equally impressive. The finale, in particular, struck a chord that resonated deeply. It's a rare feat for a series to be able to seamlessly transition between humor and genuine, heartfelt moments, but this one does it with finesse. You find yourself invested in the characters, rooting for them, and experiencing their highs and lows along the way.

Discovering a series that not only meets but exceeds your expectations is a rare pleasure, and this one did just that. The lack of preconceived notions allowed me to appreciate it for what it is - a masterpiece in its own right. It serves as a reminder that sometimes the best experiences come when you least expect them.

In a world where entertainment options are vast and varied, finding a series that manages to leave a lasting impression is no small feat. This one, however, manages to do just that. It's a testament to the creators' dedication to their craft and their ability to create something that resonates with audiences on a profound level.

So, whether you're a seasoned binge-watcher or someone looking for a new show to dive into, give this series a chance. You might start with no expectations, but you'll undoubtedly end with a newfound appreciation for the art of storytelling. It's not just a series; it's an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. And in a world where content is often fleeting, finding something this special is truly a gift.

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.

Amazing idea for the office like comedy placed in 17th century Poland. I can only hope this is so funny also for non-polish audience.

Scenes are fantastic based in real town scenery (not a cgi), the characters are so vivid and adorable. The leading actor finally found it's perfect spot to play and show his true skills even though this is only comedy series.

I've never seen that Polish producers pulled off such a great show where even the current events are mentioed but in a very stylish way. Best of this that many problemy can be understand by eu audience.

Feel free to jump in random episode - you will immerse to this world immedietally.
