The dialogue is surprisingly fresh, even to someone who's watched way too many MTV reality shows.

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

There is a twinge of fun every now and then in Kath & Kim, even if most critics are so apoplectic at its crass stupidity they can barely write a sentence.
By Jonathan Storm FULL REVIEW

Despite Shannon and Blair's best efforts, Kath & Kim's main characters feel like a compilation of attitudes (and wardrobes), forced into a sitcom format so tired that you'll see the plot resolution in next week's episode (not to mention most of the jokes) coming from nearly a half-hour away.
By Ellen Gray FULL REVIEW

Whatever lingering debt the show owes to its original template has also resulted in some awkward elements, including occasional internal monologues by both title players that are as empty, banal and unfunny as when they're actually talking.
By Brian Lowry FULL REVIEW

I feel sorry for Shannon, who nicely underplays her role, but she’s trapped in show that does not work, and, with Blair as her co-star, will never work.

It's sneering and unwatchably badly written; it shoots at fish in a barrel and still manages to miss.
