    Talented cast with good comic timing that manage to make these unlikable characters fun to watch but the show is not as clever as it hopes to be and there are long stretches of time before someone says something actually worth laughing for. I have hopes for this one, remember, even the American version of the Office started off shaky, but the show better step up soon before I, and others Talented cast with good comic timing that manage to make these unlikable characters fun to watch but the show is not as clever as it hopes to be and there are long stretches of time before someone says something actually worth laughing for.

    Satiric comedy only works if it's funny. And in this case, it's not.

    The core problem with K&K is that there's no character to root for.

    Unfortunately, Blair's bratty take on Kim is repetitive and not even mildly amusing, Shannon is wonderful at her role (as always) but doesn't have much of a character to work with, and the stories are neither real enough to be relatable nor outrageous enough to flesh out a true farce.
