      Kate Kulzick AV Club Season three's reduced core of just Mr. Blackadder, S. Baldrick, and the Prince Regent lends its episodes greater focus. Rated: B+ Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Michael Noble PopMatters "Ink and Incapability"...is possibly the funniest [episode]. It features a suitably bombastic performance from Robbie Coltrane as Dr Johnson, and some of the show's best lines. Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy The third iteration of Edmund Blackadder was blessed in a way the others weren't--the only incarnation to make it out of a series alive, he would often display the ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend Black Adder the Third goes up another peg in terms of silliness and wit, even as the show's budget and cast shrink, which helps. Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Christel Loar PopMatters The volleys of vocabulary are astounding, as is the willingness to mine sheer silliness for comic gold. Nov 8, 2018 Full Review Adam Sloman Den of Geek For me, the third season is a little weaker, missing the chemistry between Rowan Atkinson and Tim McInnerny. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member As good as - or even better than - the terrific "Black-Adder II", the third Blackadder series offers generous servings of incredibly brainy, snappy humour, apt sociopolitical critique and engaging storylines. All six episodes are perennially entertaining, the characters, both recurring and non-recurring, are extremely memorable, and the actors are fantastic, with Hugh Laurie entering the main cast as Prince George in an uproariously funny performance. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
