Call Me Kat

To be fair, I didn't realize it was based on a British show, so I can see how people are complaining that it's not the same. I'll have to watch the original, but in the meantime, I really like the character of Kat. Admittingly, in the first ten minutes of the first episode, I was really annoyed with her turning to the camera seemingly every 10 seconds. After the first episode though, it's not as often and becomes more natural to the flow of the show.

I noticed people are complaining about Kat's confidence and enthusiasm when the original character of Miranda is apparently more awkward and insecure. While I can understand that, I like that Kat is confident. She's a 39 year old woman who owns her own business and knows who she is, while remaining approachable and imperfect. It's a welcome change in my opinion as the awkward shy character who blossoms has been done many times already.

Also, American sitcoms have just always been different than British shows. I love that British shows tend to have more character development and usually a very defined story to the season because a season (or series as they say) is usually only 6 episodes. American sitcoms go for over 20 episodes a season most of the time and are more about making us laugh and escape for a half hour than they are about engrossing us in someone's struggle. Both have their place and can be very enjoyable.

I'll probably enjoy Miranda when I get to watching it, and perhaps my opinion on Kat will change, but for now I really like this show. The lightheartedness is a welcome escape from reality nowadays, the jokes make me laugh, and as a side note, I also like the atmosphere, set design, and architecture. The building that houses Kat's home and business is inviting and has very cool features.

The first episode of this show was a little clunky but the 2nd was better. Good characters. Hope it gets better and better.

Okay so I'll say first of all I.personally thought some of this show was funny I loved lessley jordan as always and kat was a beautiful face with a sweet heart I think people are being way to hard on this program and I will keep watching atleast for now anyway.update saw Thursdays episode and it was much better I laughed out loud

I wanted to write a review as there are a ton of bad reviews. I think the strongest part of the pilot episode was the last quarter of it, where Mayim was being less of a "Miranda" goofy and more of a goofy that fits her. I think it will find its stride over time. Not the strongest pilot, starts slow, but I do want to see what happens.

It took a few episodes but I like this show, it's positive and creative.
