Citizen Khan

Humane, outrageously funny and a true depiction of the real world.

I am a Muslim and a Pakistani. I have watched five episodes of the season and have still to find anything offensive against Islam. Yes it is critical of the way Muslims go by in their day to day dealings. But this is the beauty of the season it shows Muslims as humans and ordinary people with challenges that normal people face and how they cope with them. The director and writer of the season have done a brilliant job showing a different dimension of the Muslim life something other than the stereotyped image of Muslims.

It is a must watch for anybody who is Muslim, Pakistani or British. If you are all three and have an open mind I bet you will get a stomach ache after watching this.

It's just a comedy! Don't take it so seriously! Chillax!

Have really enjoyed watching all 5 episodes till now. It's not perfect and yes, it's very stereotypical, aged, and poorly acted. Yes, the Somalian guy's accent is travelling from West Africa eastwards in each episode. Yes the canned laughter is OTT.

But it's a comedy nevertheless and one of very few south Asian comedies to be broadcast. I don't think its depiction of the religion is that bad and actually quite inclusive. The jokes shouldn't be taken personally - I certainly don't feel humiliated or offended because it's just a comedy... and it's so true... :)

For those who find it 'unfunny' or 'didn't laugh' well, go watch something else. Sheesh!

The type of comedy we have been missing in the last couple of years. Very fun silly and a good piece of Monday night comedy. It's not everyone's cup of tea but me and my family love it. The latest thing i heard was that all the actors are Hindus and that the show was made by Zionists, brilliant, if you don't like it don't watch it! stop making silly stories up. Pathetic. 10/10 i look forward to the show every week. I have spoken to several Muslims who have been slating the show on facebook, it was then that i realised that they hadn't even watched the show but was told how offensive it was. People are being sheep. Because of this reaction it is unlikely that we see any sort of Muslim show for a long time. Congrats

If you watch this show without reading the bad press, you can have a good laugh. Its not Only Fools. Its not Blackadder 2-4. But it is funny.

It will only get better. I find Mr Khan both funny and likable main character.

Its got some great lines, but if you only follow the crowd and live your life like a sheep you wont find that you like the show yourself

Mrs Browns Boys is a terrible show, Having watched an episode of that before, now watching this, This is Only Fools compared to MBB which is sub On The Buses at best

Worth a watch, don't expect too much and you'll laugh

Some put this down as unfunny and even racist. I don't i think its great and shows that people of Islam can have fun as much as anyone else.

You do have to look for the jokes sometimes and the humour can be questionable but it is a lot of fun and thank you BBC that there will be a second series.

This is the sort of comedy that needs to be made,this and Mrs Browns Boys have shown people in a new friendly light and broken down barriers where as they show called Cuckoo doesn't deserve the category "comedy" Those who are offended - get a life and stop being offended on someone else's behalf.
