Rowan Atkinson is one of the world's funniest tv guys. From the iconic Mr. Bean to Johnny English and Blackadder, Atkinson has entertained audiences for decades. And now he's at Netflix with Man Vs Bee.
In his usual style, Man Vs Bee is a quirky and goofy short episode series created to give all the family a good laugh.
With episodes running at just 10 minutes each, this is perfect comedy for adults as well as kids.
The story goes like this. Rowan Atkinson plays Trevor, a lovable but bumbling dad who accidentally lands a new job as a housesitter.
But this is no ordinary house, instead, it is a luxurious mansion filled with priceless artwork, classic cars and a very cute pooch called Cupcake.
Trevor is delighted and knows that the money from the job means he can take his little girl on holiday. There's just one very small problem. A bee.
Following him absolutely everywhere, Trevor starts to think that the bee is out to get him and, over ten episodes, does his very best to kill the bee.
Of course, because this is a physical comedy series, Trevor ends up almost destroying the house, doing irreparable damage in the process.
So can Trevor keep everything under control or will Man vs Bee lead to disastrous consequences?
Is Man Vs Bee Worth Watching?
Rowan Atkinson is a comedic genius and he doesn't disappoint in this series either.
Because the episodes are short they are very easy to watch especially with the kids who will absolutely love the slapstick comedy on offer.
Each Man Vs Bee episode leads on from the next so the ongoing battle between Trevor and the bee is played out fully in the Netflix series.
It's funny in a way that only Atkinson can pull off so if you fancy a few laughs then give Man Vs Bee a try.
When Is Man Vs Bee Released On Netflix?
Man vs. Bee was created and written by Rowan Atkinson and William Davies and directed by David Kerr.
All episodes of the show will premiere on Netflix on June 24, 2022.
