Kate & Koji (TV Series) The Claim (2020) User Reviews

Very refreshing comedy.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 7/10 · 24 December 2020]

Kate is definitely someone that reads the Daily Mail, you just know she'd be one of those people who'd nod at the front cover, it comes as no surprise that she's being sued, and giving a mouthful back.

I thought this was funny, some nice one liners and amusing scenarios, but once again, Blethyn is just a joy to watch, Kate is not a Guardian reading liberal (I do actually read The Guardian,) and that's a good thing, the media may wish to try and make us believe that everyone out there is a tolerant, left wing goody goody, but there are plenty of Kates out there.

What makes this show so good, is the fact that Koji has crashed into Kate's world, and she's learning to deal with him. It's very well done, 7/10.

The Claim

[Prismark10 · 3/10 · 1 May 2020]

Koji is in full flow as the doctor but do not call him the doctor. The patients line up for him and the business in the cafe is brisk.

Kate's business is under threat because of negative publicity. She body shamed a customer who had an accident and she is threatening to sue.

Councillor Bone is relishing Kate's discomfort and she might have spurred on the pending litigation. Kate wants Koji to be a witness but he saw nothing and he does not want to jeopardise his asylum claim.

Money must be tight for Kate. Her dishwasher is ancient and she obviously has not purchased Occupiers Liability insurance.

I really did not think much of the episode. It was not very plausible or humorous. It would be the kind of plot that would had worked in a sitcom in the 1970s.

So far Kate is just irritating, she really is not going to bother Victor Meldrew or Alf Garnett.

Again it is Medium Dan who is the most interesting character and he is the one who rides to Kate's rescue.
