My Uncle Napoleon

1976 · 1 season

A warm, boisterous family comedy full of eccentric characters and gentle satire, like a lively gathering you never want to leave.

Overview: An uproarious adoption of a popular novel by Iraj Pezeshkzad set in and around the family compound in early 1940s Tehran, marvelously rich in personality and incident. The title character, so-called because of his constant invocation of the general, rules over a wonderfully complex extended family. A hilarious series which makes fun of just about everything.
How it feels: Warm, whimsical, satirical and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, coming-of-age, love, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
