King Gary

This was a very carefully crafted mockumentary on life in darkest Essex. Very strong ensemble playing, carefully paced and a brilliant script.

I loved it, this could be a very successful sitcom and has some elements of Benidorm. Tom Davis was brilliant and threw himself into the dead pan and ironic situations.

Just watched series 1 and it was really great, I'm not sure why but this series reminds me of Sorry with Ronnie Corbet, I think perhaps because he always started with a personal plan and then it went awry, either way I loved it

Series 2, it was very funny but they really upped the cringeworthy elements. This style of exaggerated mockumentary is not everyone's cup of tea, just like People Doing Nothing or Mandy, but for those that do this was great, I laughed out loud so this tells you something.

The script was both inventive and sharp, I say haters stay away!

The first series was really good and all the main characters have their individual moments of brilliance. The King family are middle class people's worst nightmare; a working class family who have come into or made money buy don't have the class and decorum for middle class life.

The second series was even funnier than the first series. The new neighbour makes the King Family look like neighbours from heaven.

I really enjoy this show and think it's a massively underrated show of comedic genius.

The underlying driver in the plot here is Gary Kings need to be seen as 'top dog' in the suburban cul de sac where he lives. Much merriment at his expense ensues as his various schemes are shown up for the vacuous and pointless shows of wealth and status that they are. Good laughs to be had here!

Few episodes then it gets kind of ridiculous. I was ecstatic when I found this then after a few episodes unfortunately that went away. I did not know this was Tom Davis from Murder in successville ( which I quite liked) . He's really funny, the wife, the dad and some of the others but the writing got so pathetic I had to, sadly give up after about 5 episodes.

This show is the sitcom equivalent of marmite, you love it or hate it! I am a lover, relatable, silly, clean good humour, a few stereotypes but what sitcom doesn't? It's a show you can just pick up from anywhere and enjoy it. Well done Mr Tom Davis
