I find Upstart Crow unwatchable. Comedy is a very strange thing

The very worst comedy ever, which I hope will be ended sooner rather than later, is called, ' President Trump'.

That's not comedy, it's tragedy.

Upstart Crow is cool. New series of that has just aired.

I have mixed feelings about Upstart Crow. I think David Mitchell is usually brilliant in whatever he does. However, U.C. does tend to make a meal out of the well documented absurdities in Shakespeare's plots, so the dialogue in this respect is probably not quite as clever as it first sounds. What is quite clever is the playing with more modern ideas of female liberation and the absurdities that resulted from Shakespeare having to get young chaps to drag up to play the parts.
