For me it's a toss up between series 2 and series 4: BlackAdder Goes Forth was a work of genius imo. Yes it was funny, but it was also sharp and deeply sad. It got me interested in the First World War and brilliantly portrayed, through satire, the futility and stupidity of the conflict; the naivete of some of the soldiers who were fooled into laying down their lives; the criminal incompetance of the generals in charge : Lions led by donkeys indeed.
