Yes, the first series had Black adder as an almost 'mr Bean' type rather stupid character, but in the rest of the series the writing team changed to Curtis, and Ben Elton ( another famous comedian) - the remaining series became much funnier and sharper as a result, with the character of Blackadder changed to a cynical sharp-witted fellow. D lol:
And the final WW1 series was definitely more poignant and carried a message about the futility of war.
