Josh

I came across this sitcom late in the series by accident and I'm very glad I did. I hadn't seen a promo for it so had no preconceptions but it drew me in. I really enjoyed it so went back and downloaded the series from the start. It's one of those nice little sitcoms that you can put on to cheer you up knowing it's going to deliver. It's as good as any modern sitcom that I've seen and better than most, so I feel the previous reviews slating it are unnecessarily negative. Apart from the fact it's a sitcom, there is no real comparison to my family. That was very safe and mainstream with a weak gag every 10 seconds, 'Josh' is more subtle and I think nicely written. I haven't seen a weak episode yet. If you enjoy /appreciated shows like 'Spaced', 'Still Game' or 'People doing nothing ', I can't see any reason why this won't satisfy. This sitcom is up to date and often laugh out loud funny. All of the characters are likable, believable and subtly acted. Kate's mum being played by Jennifer Saunders is a nice addition. Don't listen to the misery's giving it 1 star. It's definitely worth a watch to make up your own mind.

Pure genius start to finish. The series has had nowhere near the exposure it deserves. The BBC need to get this band back together on this, or something similar, asap. Outstanding cast with cameos any comedy would envy. Truly British in spirit whilst also perfectly encapsulating those awkward in between years of university and adulthood. This has overtaken Friends as our go to comedy series. The current rating of 6.7 is quite unbelievable and not appreciative of the real thought and collaborative co design that has clearly gone into the scripts. The BBC recently asked what it could do better. More comedy like this is the answer.

It's one of those shows that I am liking, but I'll be honest and say it's not the funniest thing I've seen on Earth, but it's good a few lighter moments.

Big fan of Josh Widdicomne, he's a superb stand up, it does feel a little like his talents are being slightly wasted, but there is something nice about the show, Elis James is another funny man, and i find him likable in the show too, Beattie Edmondson is fun, and Jack Dee is Jack Dee.

I'll continue watching, I'll admit it's not side splitting, but it's likable enough. 6/10

I quite like Josh W and Ellis, Jack Dee is just Jack, brilliant.

Watched a couple of episodes as wanted something new to watch and initially found it a bit meh.

It's not a laugh a minute comedy but after watching a few more episodes and eventually the entire series I watched them all again.

The penny dropped, put yourself in the show and you become one of the flat mates and feel like you're part of the shenanigans. It's defo male oriented but Beattie is perfect and there are guest comics and well known actors supporting the main cast.

Don't write it off , give it a chance, I did and it would be great to see a new series.

Ps...Jack dee is great as the annoying landlord who is forever just turning up unannounced.

Those that have said this is crap just don't get it.

Big fan of Josh stand up, but what's with the constant characterization of Portuguese women as fat, loud, ugly and stupid on TV? Josh mate, you're better than this. Also, I might add, there's plenty of Portuguese actresses that speak fluent English. Just get one of those instead of some English person attempting Portuguese. See the Portuguese king fiasco on the Tudors. Pathetic. I'm continuing watching though because, despite your show prolonging stupid stereotypes of cultures you clearly don't know, I still enjoy this for light relaxing viewing. I hope one day you finally meet a Portuguese woman. Also, why on earth wouldn't she be wearing a uniform if she was a cleaner in a big company? What's with that clothing?

Overall, this show can be funny at times!

Well, better dash and put on my dirty poor clothes to clean the old flat, like the fatty ugly Portuguezer I am.
