Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 01/25/2024 An engaging and largely illuminating series, featuring illustrious talking heads, captivating editing and pacing, and of course the remaining Pythons on typical witty form. A big advantage is the six-episode format, allowing the creators to take their time to unravel the story of the greatest comedy group in history. See more Read all reviews
