The Series That Won the Hearts (Not Only) of the Polish

The Polish keyphrase satirical comedy series 1670 on Netflix is a clever, modern “mockumentary” that transports viewers into feudal Poland with an innovative and ironic twist. This fictional documentary format lets characters break the fourth wall, directly engaging the audience with their thoughts and reactions to the absurdities of 17th-century village life. The main character, Jan Paweł, is a self-styled visionary nobleman whose relentless ambition drives him to “modernise” his village, Adamczycha, with reforms that defy logic, tradition, and common sense.

The world of Adamczycha is filled with vivid characters—family members, peasants, neighbours, and clergy—each harbouring their own ambitions and distinctive sense of humour. The series masterfully fuses authentic historical settings with a contemporary narrative style and language, creating a universe where the collision of past and present, along with sharp wit, results in a brilliant satire of both traditional and modern Polish attitudes.

The Cast of 1670 – The Most Well-Known Polish Actors

The series boasts a cast of Poland’s most celebrated actors. Bartłomiej Topa stars as Jan Paweł Adamczewski, the eccentric patriarch obsessed with leaving his mark on history. Katarzyna Herman portrays his pragmatic wife, who tries to maintain order in the household despite her husband’s wild schemes. Martyna Byczkowska is their rebellious daughter, pushing against the limitations of her time.

Jan Paweł Adamczewski also features as the loyal family servant, often finding himself in comically absurd situations.

Our Review

One of the show’s greatest strengths is its frequent breaking of the so-called fourth wall, as characters address viewers directly with ironic, often absurd commentary about the world around them. This approach underpins a biting satire of the nobility, society, and politics—past and present.

It earned the Eagle Award from the Polish Film Academy and was named Discovery of the Year at Empik Bestsellers.
