Citizen Khan

2012–2016 · 5 seasons

A broad, warm family sitcom that coasts on silly gags and a blustering patriarch, easy to dip into and chuckle along with.

Overview: Family-based sitcom set in the capital of British Pakistan - Sparkhill, Birmingham. Citizen Khan follows the trials and tribulations of loud-mouthed, tight-fisted, self-appointed community leader Mr Khan and his long suffering family, wife Mrs Khan and daughters Shazia and Alia.
How it feels: Light, satirical, absurd and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, identity, class, faith
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
