Adolescence 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

In this zany British comedy set in the whimsical realm of Ye Olden Medieval Days, screenwriter Andy Riley and director Curtis Vowell deliver a heavy dose of silliness, silliness, silliness. While the cast, led by the talented Mat Baynton and Simon Farnaby, has tackled a similar theme with their Horrible Histories spin-off films, there are still plenty of laughs and sympathy here, thanks in large part to the stellar performances.
Aimee Lou Wood shines as the grotesque and spoiled Queen Dagan, whose antics are ably countered by the slippery, Machiavellian courtesan Leofwine, played by Jessica Hynes. When she faces a Wat Tyler-style uprising led by the demure but determined "Humble" Joan, played by Nicola Coughlan, the Queen finds herself powerless to quell the rebellion.
However, she discovers an unexpected ally in the intelligent and discreet assistant Shulmay, brilliantly played by the always excellent Lolly Adefope. Along with the help of a humble peasant played by Nick Frost, Shulmay sets out to secure his majesty's exile.
Paul Kaye makes a memorable cameo as the unpleasant and objectionable King Ivarr of foreign lands, whose alliance with the revolutionary upstart "Humble" Joan adds another layer of intrigue to the story.
While the influence of Monty Python and the Holy Grail is unmistakable, this film puts a fresh and decidedly feminine spin on the genre. With strong comedic performances throughout, it's a fun adventure that's sure to entertain audiences of all ages.
