    If you mean Upstart Crow(the derogatory name assigned by Greene to Shakespeare in his pamphlet A Groatsworth of Wit), I cannot recommend the TV series highly enough.
    Brilliant comedy writing by Ben Elton, you need little or no real knowledge about Shakespeare to enjoy it.

    The pathos of the episode when his son dies is up there with the last of the Black Adder WW1 series.

      The "trope" of cancelling Shakespeare is beyond stupid.

        Cannabis grown directly from hemp is legal in Florida. It's about 1/4 the quality of dispensary cannabis. You don't have to worry about harshing your buzz. Harsh is the baseline. This Florida half in half out approach is also beyond stupid.

          You can't cancel Shakespeare It's not possible. He is so ingrained in Western culture. read this.

            @AndyD I never heard of this show. I found some highlights on YouTube. OMG, I'm going to be binging on everything I can find. LOL.

                  I started college at a small Xtian school an area of Missouri where hemp was grown for rope during the war. Marijuana was news. The local ditches were loaded with it. One would have to smoke a bale of that to get high, or so we were told. ๐Ÿ˜Š

                    And they were right. That stuff was all over Indiana too. Worthless.
