Netflix might have slipped something into its lineup that is catching viewers off guard and in the best way. A short, sharp comedy series is gathering serious attention, not with explosions or capes, but with powdered wigs, petty rivalries and a heavy dose of dry humor.

What Is 1670 About on Netflix

The show is called 1670, and it has been quietly winning people over since it dropped in late 2023. It has got eight episodes and a style that feels like it walked straight out of The Office, then took a hard left turn into 17th-century Poland. Instead of modern-day office politics, it dives into the ridiculous world of nobility, small-village leadership and exaggerated historical ambition.

At the center of it all is Jan Paweł Adamczewski, a nobleman so obsessed with being remembered that he will do just about anything to get noticed. He is not leading armies or writing epic literature but trying to run a village, impress a few people and argue his way into the history books. It is all filmed mockumentary-style, which adds to the awkward charm and makes every stare into the camera land just right.
