Black Books (2000-2004, UK)

I just finished watching the entire show Black Books, a very short British sitcom of three series, six episodes each. It was hilarious. It's written by the man who plays the main character, an Irish comedian by the name of Dylan Moran.

Moran plays Bernard Black, the owner of the store Black Books. He doesn't like customers, but he does like to smoke, drink, and live in absolute filth. He is grouchy and grumpy and just too funny for words, perhaps one of the best characters I have seen in a sitcom / episodic show for quite some time. (I can't count the characters of my beloved serials, of course.)

If you need a laugh, watch this one. Seriously.

Rating: 4.5
