British Comedy Guide, 19th February 2020TV review: King Gary Series 1 Episode 1
Tom Davis's ITV2 sitcom Action Team was a disappointment and suffered from many of the issues King Gary does too, so I can't help but feel that perhaps Davis should return to the improv comedy of Murder In Successville, as he's definitely better at it then he is writing traditional sitcoms.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 11th January 2020TV review: King Gary, BBC One
