Citizen Khan

This sitcom is possibly more damaging for the image of the Muslim population than an ISIS propaganda video. If it had been made in 1972 it might have had some credence and raise some genuine laughs. However this is 2014 and this show is about as relevant as Gilbert o'Sullivan making a comeback and Billy Bremner being voted Sports Personality of the year.

Why did the BBC ever commission this genuine piece of ordure? I would like to know their reasoning seeing as though I was paid a visit by a TV licencing representative last week to see why I hadn't paid my fees. If I showed this "comedy" in court as to why I'm reluctant to do so, I'm quite sure the judge would side with me and grant me special dispensation and award me damages from the Beeb for insulting my intelligence and causing me unnecessary suffering.

Makes "Mrs Brown" seem like cutting edge, intellectual, comedy gold!

Humane, outrageously funny and a true depiction of the real world.

I am a Muslim and a Pakistani. I have watched five episodes of the season and have still to find anything offensive against Islam. Yes it is critical of the way Muslims go by in their day to day dealings. But this is the beauty of the season it shows Muslims as humans and ordinary people with challenges that normal people face and how they cope with them. The director and writer of the season have done a brilliant job showing a different dimension of the Muslim life something other than the stereotyped image of Muslims.

It is a must watch for anybody who is Muslim, Pakistani or British. If you are all three and have an open mind I bet you will get a stomach ache after watching this.

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.

Honestly i watched the first episode of this series. I found it really funny, thr reason why im only giving this show a 5 out of 10 is because its very repetative. Every episode is very predicatable and the same. Im very surprised they made 5 seasons from this. The last 2 seasons is when they start to run out of material. 4.5 / 10. Also one other thing, the other actors are very boring, so the show souly relies on the main character.

i liked citizen khan and i think the first 2 episodes have been quite promising.

Adil Ray is brilliant as Mr Khan and made me laugh with his one liners and the way he parks his car on the drive and the way he thinks he is more important than he actually is.

Episode 1 was good as it introduced you to the Khan's.

Episode 2 was even better when Mr Khan's mother in law went to the house.

Citizen Khan is certainly not as bad as some of the reviews say and i think the series will get better and will make me laugh even more
