As a Muslim and a Middle Eastern, I found this series to be absolutely hilarious and hits on common stereotypical behavior of Pakistanis and Muslims in general. I did not find it to be offensive at all. I love all the characters in the show. Basically the only negative thing about this show is that there are only a few episodes per season. They seriously should produce more episodes and I think it will be very popular amongst Muslim and Middle Eastern audiences. I don't see a problem why this show would not be popular amongst non-Muslim audiences. Not only does it introduce the people in a comic and light manner, but it is the first show I have ever seen that humanizes Muslims.
I think Adil Ray has something - you have to like him. Whether this is the vehicle for his talents is another question. It has an incredibly dated feel and seems like a leftover from the 1970's. Chris Marshall is very out of place in this, mind you he was in the dreadful My Family so even this must be a step up for him. How anyone can get themselves in a lather about a poorly conceived sitcom as many Muslims have is beyond me. It really is not worth it. Maybe the whole thing is going to get better when it has settled in but I doubt it. There are several things it has going for it - Adil Ray for one and the premise is good even if the execution needs work. Watch this space.
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.

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

I know a lot of people hate this show, but I absolutely loved it. I came across it about 2 months ago and was hooked. It was so funny, like an Asian version of Frank Spencer. And Adil Ray, although hes funny looking in this, in real life he is a hottie! I watched it all the way through the series and hope there's another! Although its a bit silly at times, its also really feel good, just something about it. The daughters fiancé is a bit annoying, he does a bad accent. But the two daughters are cool. Its so funny the way khan is totally ignorant to his rebellious daughters antics. Khan doesn't seem to get along with lots if people and his arrogance is hilarious. Sorry if I'm rambling, but stupid IMDb makes me write a ten line minimum and I run out of things to say.

- TriviaThe show is set in Sparkhill, Birmingham, but since the closure of BBC Pebble Mill in 2004 there are no longer any suitable TV studios in Birmingham, so the show is recorded at the BBC's new Media City studios in Salford, Greater Manchester. However, creator and star Adil Ray insists that some location filming is done in Birmingham for each series.
