I love the lighthearted air of this show, and the complete absence of nostalgia and self-pity for past glories, which of course has to do with the original.
There are only aristocratic men and women in fine clothes and food, only gentlemen's clubs, tea parties, golf, Eton and Oxford graduates, long-winded aunts, old urchin's uncles, who use pianos, engagements and endless gossip to kill those in the sun. Lazy, green days.
The so-called secret is the soul of Western comedy. Each episode of this show is a relatively independent little story, and there is also a secret revealed at the end of this episode. The person who asked the question and revealed the answer is Stephen Fry. A gentleman's personal gentleman" Jeeves. He is elegant, erudite, and resourceful. As a valet, he is full of gentleman style. Whenever the young master gets into trouble, he can always resolve the crisis. In the midst of chatting and laughing, the prisoners will be wiped out, and he can often kill two birds with one stone for his personal interests. Friends help. On top of this, the young master is also his little soldier, who is often dispatched by him in a confused way, and has suffered a lot because of it.
But there are times when he can't do anything about it, the master's hopeless taste in clothing and his voice that can't make up the five tones.
The young owner Wooster is today's famous House doctor Hugh Laurie.
Wooster graduated from Oxford but has a simple mind, two pungent and promising aunts and a few classmates who are as slow as him, plus his naivety and old-fashioned warm-hearted, make him often deep Encircled. At a critical juncture, Jeeves came to the rescue to save him from danger, just like Nobi and Doraemon.
The characters can be roughly divided into two categories: one is to make the audience laugh at him, and the other is to invite the audience to laugh at others with him. Needless to say, Wooster is the former and Jeeves is the latter.
At first I was impressed by Jeeves' wisdom, but after a few episodes, I appreciated Wooster's tolerance even more: I admired and trusted him even when I knew I was being teased by a servant.
Tolerance is actually harder than cleverness
