Review of 1670

1670 (2023– )
10/10
This is what comedy should be
19 December 2023
I've been quite sad that Netflix cancelled Norsemen as it was exactly the type of comedy I liked: witty, but pretending to be dumb and absurd. 1670 is just like that and maybe even a bit better. The show runners do not shy away from portraying polarising topics like casual racism and discrimination in a humorous way that first makes one laugh, but then find themselves in the show's characters and hopefully reflect a bit.

I also loved these nod to modern times they made (parking lots for horses, boat attendants telling the passengers about safety features etc.), they made us laugh every time. Hope Netflix doesn't close this one after a season or two like it loves to do.
