Synopsis

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.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
grantss Bernard Black runs a book shop, though his customer service skills leave something to be desired. He hires Manny as an employee. Fran runs the shop next door. Between the three of them many adventures ensue.Brilliantly funny. Over-the-top humour with some clever plots and biting dialogue.Good work by Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig as Bernard, Manny and Fran, respectively.
Michael Roberts Black Books is silly and goofy and about a group of messy, mostly useless slobs... and I loved every single minute of it! What great entertainment.Black Books is absolutely one of my very favourite television programmes of all time. I really loved the characters and the silly situations they would get involved in. There were laughs from start to finish.The episode where they drink then foolishly try to replace the priceless wine for the Pope... the episode where she takes piano lessons from a blind man... the episode where they just try to go on vacation...What a brilliant show! Will make you smile.
stat-07197 I enjoy British comedy and this show does not disappoint. It is a cross (for me) of Absolutely Fabulous and The Young Ones. I stumbled across the series on Netflix and will be binge watching it all this weekend.Thank you Netflix for including this show in your lineup. The main actors do a superb job of capturing their characters' quirks and idiosyncrasies. I would love to see outtakes because I am quite sure the actors must crack up all through production.Give this show a watch and prepare to laugh your a%* off. Lots of twists and unexpected stuff here.
mnjames-876-392018 Mildly funny, but with a hideous laugh track. Honestly, I didn't get past the first episode, mostly due to the inappropriate cackling of the artificial audience - very bad choice. Without that it could be funny, at least if you were quite high.To the creators of this site, canceled can be spelled with two "L"s both spellings are valid.I dunno (not a real word) what dictionary you're using, but there's a problem with it.Also, apparently, I need to add more lines? Who is making these rules? If this review is rejected it's the last time I'll bother trying to contribute to this site. It's potentially worse that Wikipedia, and I didn't think it was possible to surpass that level of stupid.
