I viewed a clip and it was Not Funny.
Also it was on Late

I bet if you walked into a typical Muslim family they'd be exactly like this show, even though I've never seen either.

Some may like it
but other Muslims

saying:
'terrible stereotyping, ignorant and just dreadful'

The BBC shows it at 10:20PM on Mondays.
So they do not want young children watching it.

Its meant to be a Comedy
but its not funny - thats the problem.

LOL pathetic

It was not funny at all. The thing is, a lot of comedies are based on stereotypes, so I don't really see the need to complain. Some may find it funny. People complain about anything and everything these days. It's a fictitious family comprised of fictitious characters in a fictitious situation. Or am I missing something?

It had its moments but I found the protagonist a bit shouty and forced. Don't be surprised by this; people complain about everything

[Maia]
