I saw your kapelusznik post and i need to know what did you think of 1670??

Absolutely LOVE it.

I highly recommend everyone check out the first episode at least - even though it's in Polish and about Poland, it's very accessible and the humour carries through (source: my non-Polish husband losing his shit multiple times per episode).

It manages to find that incredibly rare balance of treating its source material with cleverness, understanding and respect without taking itself seriously as a hilarious slice-of-life mocumentary. It parodies historical and modern nonsense alike, with a distinctly Polish - or should I say Sarmatian - flair. The characters are solid archetypes brought to life with a real warmth and depth.

Sure, lots of it is purposefully anachronistic (and my only, extremely minor gripe is that I think they pushed Aniela just a little too far into modern wokeness), but there are some truly excellent details to delight history lovers and Poland enjoyers alike.

If you're on the fence, please check out the first episode!
