Fun, but a lot of the humor is going to go over a lot of heads if you're not actually English.
It was great seeing the origins of three of the four / five Young Ones, and I was pretty well impressed by Nigel's breadth of character, and later Abe and Rik as Bottom (fart jokes and random violence are universal,) but yeah, I'm pretty sure I missed a lot as an American. You had Thatcher and the Falklands, we had Reagan and pretty much all of Central America. Also a great introduction to French and Saunders.
