Count Abdulla

I had nearly stopped watching it at the beginning, but the more episodes I watched the funnier it became. Love the twist at the end of season 1. Hope Season 2 comes soon. I feel in love with the characters. The posh vampires are very annoying and can not wait for something to happen to them. The main characters are brilliant and hilarious. Sometimes the episodes are over the top, but that is what makes it great. Please, please, please bring the next season soon.

The cousin is very annoying and well over the top. The only none vampire character I do not like. Will be interesting to see what happens.

The 30 minute episodes are a perfect length for this fast paced series; I only planned to watch a couple of episodes and ended up watching the whole series. Yes, there are some of the usual Asian jokes (overbearing mum etc...) but in amongst the comedy, there are some serious issues too which elevates this from just another funny but ultimately forgettable show. I also love how this is such a different take on the whole vampire genre - the usual posh pale vampires only make an appearance later on and even then, they aren't the main event. Great casting too - Kathy the Vampire had me in stitches. I'm curious as to what season 2 holds after the fantastic end to this first season.

A British/Pakistani GP is bitten by a vampire and hilarity unfortunately doesn't ensue. On the positive side its nice to see a comedy exploring and set in the British/Pakistani community which is much under-represented on our screens.

I'm just not sure this will work for a broadstream ITV audience as its been written in a very niche vein. Its not a patch on C4's 'We are lady parts' - Nida Manzoor's anarchic and irreverent music comedy about a Muslim female punk band, which deservedy won her a Bafta last year.

The script could have been better with more laughs and often seemed more concerned with virtue signalling than being funny.

Might have found a bigger audience on C4 or BBC3 as its main appeal will be to a much younger audience than ITV gets.

Nothing special about the production values and no stand outs in the cast, overall a disappointment - hard to see being re-commissioned.

A muslim vampire doctor...thats as funny as it gets.

There are some "jokes" but they are from the 70s. All been done to death many many times before and werent funny the first time around either.

Some social issues do get raised too, but as subtly as a sledghammer, which I expected.

Its a 1 joke tv show because the writer is not a comedy writer. Hes a Cambridge history graduate. Probably a nice guy but not a comedy writer. I guess he got an opportunity and took it, fair enough. But it didnt work this time.

People are scoring it 10 for reasons known only to themselves. 10 means perfection!! Check the shows below and then ask how people scored this a 10???

Curb you enthusiasm 8.8.

Friday night dinner 8.1 Everybody hates Chris 7.5 Fresh prince 7.9 Office UK 8.5 Chappelle show 8.8 Fawlty Towers 8.8 Key & Peele 8.3.

League of Gentlemen 8.4 Inbetweeners 8.4.

Watch 1 episode of Count abdullah and then look at this list and ask yourself how you would score it compared to those shows.

How I managed to sit through this show is nothing short of a miracle comparable to the one on the Hudson.

Every character is insufferable, every line grates on you like nails on a blackboard, while being delivered by an actor or actress as out of place and over the top, as the SNL crew trying to do the most serious of Shakespeare. Every joke is either as bland and inoffensive as a 1950s knock knock joke or as aggressively woke as a Lilly Singh skit on an American college campus.

I'm not sure if this show has any redeeming features, but I can't find them.... I don't know if the BBC made this show, but all their fingerprint hallmarks are there.
