Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
James Ferran Genuinely one of the worst sitcoms the beeb has ever commissioned.
mwilton-27373 Just started watching from series one. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. It's hilarious and very well written. We're addicted!
evimchine As a son of ex-Muslim immigrants, who knows that religion is just another word for schizophrenia, and has suffered under religious extremism, as well as neo-Nazis and intolerance, I thought I'd give this a try.What I expected was something hilarious and refreshing. Something honest, yet not infected by the abusive terror of "political correctness".What I got, was as if someone had cloned a lame sitcom out of the 70s or 80s. Jokes that you could see decades in advance. A plot as predictable and as simple as the reactions of radical religious fundamentalists or racists or everyone who reacted to them. Very cheap set and lighting. And a level of acting that I hadn't seen since the 60s Doctor Who (where they regularly used to just keep rolling the tape after stumbling over their characters' lines or cables on the set). Not as bad as Doctor Who. But not something I would put on TV, beyond a city's local public channel.And sadly, barely anything "offensive".I still like the premise. It has potential. Doctor Who started out badly too. Although I feel like nowadays, this just doesn't suffice to justify keeping it running until it gets good.
swiesel This is typical nowadays BBC production - third-rate comedians straggling throw script written by third-rate scriptwriters. I swear sometimes I caught on their faces glimpse of words "will it ever end?" Or, yes, and they added to all this spiritual banquet third-word countries subject, how delightful. I still don't understand who is the main hero - Indian, Pakistani? It seems that all actors know about both cultures as much as penguins know about Sahara. Especially irritating are their vain attempts (I mean actors' not penguins') to imitate Indian accent. Can't BBC hire real Indians? Real Pakistanis? Save yourself, save your time.
