Here’s our Kate and Koji Episode 2 review as the brand new comedy series returned again on ITV this evening.
Synopsis
With Kate and Koji’s undercover clinic in full swing, the last thing they need is a visit from Dr Radwan. Medium keeps Koji calm, and Kate cooks up a surefire way to get back at an adversary.
The second episode picks up where we left off straight in the deep end with one-liners and laugh-out-loud remarks.
Some jokes are hit and miss but we manage to get there in the end.
Social media went into overdrive when the first episode dropped as viewers were split between loving it and hating it. This marmite attitude definitely felt like a millennial and classic comedy divide.
We had the folks who are now offended by old episodes of Friends facing off against fans of Open All Hours. This head-to-head battle of epic social media proportions was quite hilarious to watch.
I imagine the viewer numbers will stay roughly the same for Kate and Koji with a primetime slot in-between a double episode of Coronation Street.
But don’t let its perfect timeslot take anything away from how quirky and refreshing this show is.
A show that catapults us back to the time when TV shows didn’t take themselves too seriously for fear of offending someone. A type of show that is rare nowadays.
Shaking off the snowflake attitude that is all so prominent in our modern society and presenting a genuinely funny programme.
Roll on episode 3!
Overall
Whilst Kate and Koji certainly doesn’t hit those Open All Hours levels it does throw us back to a time when comedy was actually funny.
Kate and Koji has me taking pride in every second of the 30-minute runtime and I thank them for that.
Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkins take a bow.

Summary
Whilst not as funny as the great 80s comedies of old it does give us a throwback and some good laughs that we sorely need right now.
A classic comedy delivering classic lines that many comedy writers are too afraid to deliver nowadays and it hits home with comedic aplomb.
