The Take
Slop Score 48. 1670 delivers an original single-voice mockumentary that nails deadpan Polish nobility absurdity but wastes it on repetitive nobleman incompetence as the running gag.
The format earns points while the hierarchy satire and peasant clashes land as cheap farce rather than pointed commentary.
The Verdict
Original format saves it from total collapse but the noble incompetence punchlines and absurd peasant gags drag the whole thing into mid territory.
Skip it. Slop Score 48.
