King Gary

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.

Tom Davis quite explicitly wanted to create a "working class comedy that doesn't punch down" and in King Gary, boosted up to series mode after a charming pilot in 2018, manages the brief quite admirably. Bolstered by a strong cast of comedy legends (particularly the hypnotically mannered performance of Laura Checkley and the evergreen Neil Maskell) the absurd scenarios, cringing observations about contemporary British culture and cartoonish foolishness doesn't always hang together terribly well but the core of it is the relationship between Gary and Terri. It's got a rare amount of heart and character beneath the crass foolishness that keeps me coming back for more.

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

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 MUST be a series! Surely even the Beeb can see this!
