Black Books, Series 2

(Channel 4, 2002)

DVD cover: “Black Books, Series 2” (Channel 4, 2002)

A step-down from the first series but still laugh-out-loud absurd. Bernard’s perpetually sloshed, almost nihilistic ill-temperedness is so extreme that it may have benefited from straighter support characters, rather than the equally ramped-up vagueness of Manny and the hardcore faddishness of Fran.
