Im Mittelpunkt von „Black Books“ steht der schlecht gelaunte und äußerst exzentrische Buchhändler Bernard Black. Bernards Hingabe an die beiden Freuden Trunkenheit und vorsätzlicher Feindseligkeit vertieft und bereichert sowohl sein Leben als auch das von Manny, seinem Assistenten. Der bärtige, süße und gute Manny ist alles, was Bernard nicht ist, und wird von Bernard schonungslos bestraft, nur für das Verbrechen der Existenz. Sie sind in ihrer Bedeutung aufeinander angewiesen, so wie Fran, ihre älteste Freundin, auf ihre Ablenkung angewiesen ist. Black Books ist eine Oase der Bücher, des Weins und der Unterhaltung. Die einzige Bedrohung für den Frieden und den Wohlstand der Gruppe ist ihre eigene grenzenlose Dummheit.

Simply good, old-fashioned British humor. What more do you need?
I finally got around to watching this for the first time. It was just one of those shows that I didn't get around to watching while it was still airing. I absolutely loved it and feel a little sad that it ended when it did. I definitely feel like they could have done another series or two. I truly adore the friendship between Bernard, Manny and Fran and every single episode was great, funny and _real._ Dylan Moran is a genius and plays one of my favourite sitcom characters, hands down.
I wish I had seen this sooner :) So amazing!!
Rediculous, outrageous, hilarious.
This is one of those mildly amusing sit coms that everyone goes nuts for because it’s British. Okay, maybe that’s a little mean. But I feel like this premise (irascible shop owner and his friends) has been done before. To be honest, it took me a really long time to warm up to this show. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood. I do feel like it got funnier as it went on, even if the pattern of the jokes really didn’t change much. Sit Coms are generally boring. This is better than many, but hardly one of the great ones.
