Fans of Mr. Bean are likely to be left saddened by this effort, if you can even call it that. To begin with, Bean is now pudgy and doughy, and clearly getting on in years. In fact he looks more like the Pakistani Mr. Bean lookalike than the Rowan Atkinson we remember. That alone is depressing. The shorts themselves, silly DIY videos, are absolutely dreadful. Allegedly written by Atkinson himself, but seems like it was written by someone who has no sense of the Mr. Bean character. You could remove Bean and insert absolutely any halfwit character, and it wouldn't make a difference.
Atkinson has since announced that Mr. Bean is permanently retired, and honestly, this is the best news. Don't spoil the great memories.
