1670 reviews: Is it worth watching?
1670 holds a 100% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, however, the critic reviews have been more mixed. Decider stated, "The first episode of 1670 is designed to be a laugh-a-minute mockumentary, but it barely elicited a chuckle from us. The reason why isn’t the language barrier, it’s the fact that the satire is over-the-top and unfocused."
The Review Geek expressed that 1670 quickly loses its charm and allure, failing to stand out among other comedies. It's an enjoyable watch but not suitable for binge-watching.
On the other hand, Leisure Byte offered a more positive review, stating that if you enjoy satirical comedies and mockumentary content, 1670 will be a perfect fit for you.

As a passionate fan of comedy series, I was thrilled to discover the Polish satirical comedy series, 1670, now streaming on Netflix. The show's intriguing plot, which follows a zany nobleman's quest to become the most famous person in Poland, immediately captured my attention. The talented cast, including Bartłomiej Topa and Katarzyna Herman, brought the characters to life with their exceptional performances.
Despite the mixed reviews from critics, I found 1670 to be a hilarious and entertaining watch. The show's over-the-top satire and mockumentary style reminded me of some of my favorite comedy series, such as What We Do in the Shadows and Our Flag Means Death. While it may not be suitable for binge-watching, 1670 is definitely worth checking out for fans of satirical comedies.
