The Satisfying Downfall of Mr. Bean
From drawing 18.7 million viewers in 1992, the single biggest audience for a British sitcom episode… to struggling to pull in barely half a million people during a 2015 animated reboot.
From a $250 million global box office smash in 1997… to being ridiculed online as nothing more than boomer humor and a meme.
From being broadcast in 245 countries by 1995, making him one of Britain’s most famous cultural exports… to quietly fading into irrelevance, overshadowed by the very internet that once kept him alive.
