Reflected the changing attitudes of the mid 70s
I fell in love with the innocence of this sitcom through modern eyes but this made me think of the impact at the time when attitudes were more prudish. A man sharing with 2 women!! oh the scandal!! The main characters have great interplay and there are some classic sitcom tropes that make it fun. Robin is the man who tries to live up to the macho stereotypes but is also reflective of the changing attitudes of young men in the 1970s. The woman are always more than a match for the men and this is shown best with the landlord George and Mildred Roper, who appeared in there own sitcom due to this great dynamic. Some silly jokes and ludicrous situations but this allows a sense of escapism and the jokes are clever at times. Robin also spawned his own sitcom Robins Nest so the roles and characters in this sitcom made an impact beyond the show.
The last series was heartbreaking in parts and the will they or won't they with Robin and Chrissy reached its crescendo with a familiar face from the series returning as a doppelganger and forever changing the dynamic of the 2 girls and 1 man living in sin.
If you like a look into British life's and attitudes in the 1970s then this shows it in an interesting light. Although I wasn't there I so feel I understood the themes and the significance of this snapshot of domestic living.

BBC Shakespearian comedy, with David Mitchell in the lead role, that basically centres around Shakespeare himself and that - in true sitcom fashion - is centred around where he got the ideas for his plays from.
Some episodes better than others.
Some jokes land; others not so much.

The G.O.A.T. of Sitcoms!
The above go for each season. This season was no different. It made some incredible points about the complexity of life and how it's almost impossible to be "good". We see the evolution of the cast from absurd charactures of common sitcom archetypes into fully fleshed out complex individuals with deeper motivations and desires. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 10/10 Will always be the greatest sitcom of all time to us! Also, Kristen Bell, need I say more?
