Black Adder Goes Forth  2018

It is 1917 on the Western Front in the World War One trenches. Captain Edmund Blackadder is a professional soldier in the British Army who, until the outbreak of the Great War, had confined his military adventures to fighting natives "two feet tall and armed with dried grass". Finding himself trapped in the trenches with another "big push" planned, his concern is to avoid being sent over the top to certain death. His attempts to escape the trenches all fail due to bad fortune, misunderstandings and the general incompetence of his comrades, idealistic upper class Lieut. George and Pte. S. Baldrick, their unedifying, unhygenic but obdurately resourceful batman. Gen. Melchett, Brig. Proudfoot-Smith, Capt. Darling  and Nurse Mary all help to complicate his life, which doesn't end at all well.
