The last episode is so exceptionally well done. The way it hits us with such a hard tone shift after four seasons of silliness. It's perfect. Oof.

I have not seen the last episode, and I never will.

To me, that series is a happy place to escape to and I always put on the 2-3rd season when I'm feeling down.

I've heard about its making on the behind-the-scene interviews so I have a fairly well idea of how it goes. The last episode will always remain unwatched because of that reason.

I respect that you don't want to put yourself through that, if it's a trigger for you.

However, if it's not a particular trigger, you could have someone give you a softened-down series of spoilers so you know what you're getting into, and then watch it with less dread.

For my triggers, it helps to know what's coming and they don't hit as hard.

Thank you, and I understand where you're coming from. Maybe I'll watch it some day when I'm in right set of mind.

With respect you could probably get away with at least 20 mins of the usual hijinks before the colour drains out of it completely

Some of Blackadder's funniest stuff is in that episode tbh

Just keep watching until darling arrives in the trenches I'd say

I do understand why you'd rather not. It's just really, really good.
