In my opinion the first season is the best. I prefer the Black Adder (played by Rowan Atkinson) being the stupid one while Baldrick (Tony Robinson) is more cunning. The second and third series were incredibly good and hilarious as well but I didn't think the fourth was as good. I also liked how Edmund always had a clear goal throughout the first season (to become king). I feel that this gave his character more depth than in the later seasons. My favorite episodes were definitely The Archbishop and Witchsmeller Persuivant. I thought the last episode was sad and preferred the ending of season 3. (The only season that ends well for Blackadder.)
