Kate & Koji

I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a refreshing change in humour. We've had years of dumbed down humour, this was a lot more like it, cutting, sarcastic, and humour that was very much on point.

Blethyn was cracking as Kate, such a change in character from Vera, shows what a damn good actress she is.

A few jokes about The BBC.

Will it last more than just a single series? I do hop so. 8/10.

This show has it's moments. The reviews either seem to be very, very bad or very, very good but I am somewhere in between. My rating reflects the attempt to at least make a show other than murder and mayhem and utilizes very good cast to do so. Much of it is predictable and of course some of the situations are just dumb, but overall it's at least funny and lighthearted in an acerbic way particularly against the "woke" idiots of today. Koji is the perfect foil for Kate's quirkiness and Medium a good go between the two main characters. I doubt highly that there will be a second season.

Yes, I'm old ... 71, and I love detective series. I long for more "Vera", "Midsomer Murders," etc. I've watched all of Wallander (3 versions), Foyle's War, Endeavour, Morse, Lewis, Vera, etc. All good ... but I find the newer series are becoming very dark with way toooooo much exploitive & gruesome reality. I am an intelligent woman and I don't need every gruesome detail discussed and shown on the screen. I'm finding the current world reality quite gruesome enough and need some levity ... but GOOD acting and writing for comedy is hard to come by. I found "Kate & Koji" really fun to watch. I was sad when each episode ended. Refreshing characters and, of course, Brenda Blethyn! Just hope there are more seasons and more series like it.

Not sure why people aren't enjoying this show it's funny it's politically incorrect so how can it go wrong. It's spot on with what is going on in society today, the characters are great. Brenda Blythe at her best. Hope it gets a second season.

Just stumbled upon this on ITV Hub in skimming the TV schedules recently, the thought suddenly dawned on me where are the new comedies on ITV?

For all intents and purposes ITV seemed to have given up on comedy in return, for perpetual cheap tat like 'Reality TV'.

I simply love Brenda Blethin she is one of my favourite British actresses, absolutely superlative in everything she turns her hands to.

It's nice to see Barbara Flynn in anything I still fancy her rotten, and yes as far as I'm concerned she's certainly got it. I remember her mainly from the Beiderbecke series, with James Bolam. As well as Cracker with Robbie Coltrane, where she is his long suffering spouse.

I don't know Jimmy Akingbola in deed I have never heard of him, having really enjoyed watching him in this comedy he certainly deserves to be well known. His character of restrained pedantry is well observed, delivered and very funny, many so called comics could learn from him.

The script is written by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkins the same blokes who wrote, one of my absolute favourite TV comedies Drop the Dead Donkey.

I really like this comedy show and I hope it gets more than 1 Series, it certainly deserves to run on much longer. I have just seen online that indeed it's getting a 2nd Series which is brilliant news.
