I came across this sitcom late in the series by accident and I'm very glad I did. I hadn't seen a promo for it so had no preconceptions but it drew me in. I really enjoyed it so went back and downloaded the series from the start. It's one of those nice little sitcoms that you can put on to cheer you up knowing it's going to deliver. It's as good as any modern sitcom that I've seen and better than most, so I feel the previous reviews slating it are unnecessarily negative. Apart from the fact it's a sitcom, there is no real comparison to my family. That was very safe and mainstream with a weak gag every 10 seconds, 'Josh' is more subtle and I think nicely written. I haven't seen a weak episode yet. If you enjoy /appreciated shows like 'Spaced', 'Still Game' or 'People doing nothing ', I can't see any reason why this won't satisfy. This sitcom is up to date and often laugh out loud funny. All of the characters are likable, believable and subtly acted. Kate's mum being played by Jennifer Saunders is a nice addition. Don't listen to the misery's giving it 1 star. It's definitely worth a watch to make up your own mind.
