Josh series 2 review

Josh is the sort of comedy you'd probably passively enjoy if it came on while you were watching telly of an evening, but in the new era of online BBC Three, and all its on-demand rivals, you wonder if it's got a strong enough pull to be a show viewers will actively seek out.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st September 2016

TV preview: Josh, BBC Three, iPlayer

In the first episode there were hints of everything from Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? and Men Behaving Badly to Seinfeld.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th September 2016
