Hombre vs. Abeja

I have been a fan of Mr Bean but sadly as much as this series takes inspiration from Mr Bean, it has failed to capture his essence. Mr Bean was a selfish, naive, foolish, to-some-extent unlikeable but also a charming character to watch. You don't necessarily root for Mr Bean because he is a character you enjoy laughing at. Contrarily, watching Trevor makes me feel embarrassed and anxious, because he's a character with empathy, love, hopes and dreams - he reminds me of an ordinary man. He shows emotions that we all have, including remorse and guilt. It's almost hard to laugh at the comedy because it feels almost wrong to laugh at him. I actually primarily feel annoyed watching Trevor because it's frustrating to see how he allows himself to constantly messes everything up when he clearly knows his priority is his daughter. If he was a 'Mr Bean character' it would've been more fun to watch, as you know this man probably would have very shallow goals and values and would have no self-awareness about anything he did.

It was exactly what I expected it to be, and it was on the level of Mr. Bean.

I feel like people who tell you it's not are only saying it because they didn't get to see it their first time as a child, like they did with Mr. Bean.

However, I must say, watching this as an adult gave me anxiety. It's probably more suitable for children. 😂

Light hearted, fun, plenty of laugh out loud moments. The episodes are short (10-12 mins) so it could have easily been a movie. Seeing Rowan Atkinson on screen in this manner for me was a breath of fresh air! Loved it!

It's was exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted to see. Completely enjoyable, fun, simple comedy executed perfectly.

Rowan Atkinson does this so perfectly, from Bean, to Johnny English, to Trevor and the Bee.

Rowan Atkinson. He is 65 years old and has a career of almost 40 years. And he's been number one since the early days of his career. In this production, he gave great moments to people who love old-school like me. We are very lucky to live in the same era as Rowan Atkinson.
