2000, Show

Black Books centres around the foul tempered and wildly eccentric bookshop owner Bernard Black. Bernard’s devotion to the twin pleasures of drunkenness and wilful antagonism deepens and enriches both his life and that of Manny, his assistant. Bearded, sweet and good, Manny is everything that Bernard isn’t and is punished by Bernard relentlessly just for the crime of existing. They depend on each other for meaning as Fran, their oldest friend, depends on them for distraction. Black Books is a haven of books, wine and conversation, the only threat to the group’s peace and prosperity is their own limitless stupidity.

Wilfully surreal and filled with a healthy contempt for humankind...

Makalöst tramsigt och fånigt så in i bänken. Jag skrattar högt, rakt ut flera gånger per avsnitt. Vilket slöseri att det bara blev tre säsonger av det här.
