Blackadder is a greedy, scheming, cowardly, power hungry bastard who will stop at nothing to get ahead.
Each series is set in a different time, running between the middle ages and WW1.
Each series has a different Blackadder descendant to suit the time. He usually outwits the inbred elites and royalty.
There is always an abused sidekick called "Baldrick" played by Tony Robinson.
In the first series, Baldrick is cleverer than Blackadder. In all other series, Baldrick is an unwashed moron who has "cunning plans" to help Blackadder.
There is a Christmas carol spinoff which is also really good, Blackadder is Scrooge.
Series 1 isn't the best one, so don't stop there.
Here''s a clip from series 2, in this episode, Blackadder is temporarily chief executioner for the queen

It's ridiculous, bawdy and very British.
