Rowan Atkinson Goes to War with an Insect in Trailer for 'Man vs. Bee'

Netflix has released the trailer for the new Rowan Atkinson comedy Man vs. Bee and...it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from the title.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, by the way. Atkinson rose to global fame starring in shows that helped define the idea of British comedy for a generation―think Mr. Bean and Blackadder―and is famous for a particular brand of broad, slapstick humor. At this point in his career, when he's involved in pretty much anything, you kind of know what you're going to get. (Where is his shocking turn in a serious drama like Robin Williams did in One Hour Photo, is what I'm saying.) So if the idea of Atkinson literally fighting a bee is something that makes you giggle, read on. If not...this is probably not going to be the show for you.

The series follows a man named Trevor, who is hoping that a lucrative house-sitting job will allow him to take his family on vacation. Instead, he winds up in court, facing charges that include dangerous driving, arson, and the destruction of priceless artwork. Why? Enter the titular bee.

Why this fuzzy insect so clearly has it out for Trevor is unclear, but wacky hijinks ensue, all laced with plenty of Atkinson's trademark physical comedy. (The trailer alone sees him hit himself with a crowbar and get the bee stuck inside his pants.)
