British Comedy Guide, 3rd March 2020King Gary to return for Series 2
The BBC has ordered a second series of King Gary, the sitcom starring Tom Davis.
British Comedy Guide, 10th February 2020More suburban insecurity as Tom Davis's patchy sitcom continues. Tonight, it is Gary's dad's birthday, which means a trip to a mini-golf centre and endless, absurd, alpha-male jousting. It often feels flimsy but the performances (this week including a lively turn from the reliable Neil Maskell) keep it watchable.
Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 7th 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 2020Meet Gary (Tom Davis), Homeric hero of the London suburbs in this irresistible family sitcom. He's a devoted husband to Terri (the riotously funny Laura Checkley), a disappointment to his dad and definitely still up for "a larf" with the building-site lads. So that's Homeric in the Simpsons sense too, then.
Ellen E. Jones, The Guardian, 10th January 2020Tom Davis on his sitcom King Gary
The Murder In Successville star talks toxic masculinity, his love of British sitcoms and writing about his beloved hometown.
Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 10th January 2020King Gary review
Despite there already being a pilot last Christmas, this first of six new episodes still feels like a sitcom trying to find its feet - drawn between being big, bold and lowish-common-denominator with more imaginative moments and not quite achieving either, despite some winning casting.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th January 2020TV review: King Gary, BBC One
This is the sort of sitcom that might divide critics and I'm sure it will divide social media, so I'd suggest the cast decide it is pub o'clock when it is on and leave their phones at home.
