Car Share is everything I want in a comedy, it's a show I can sit down, watch, laugh my head off, and feel good at the end of it. As someone that does love a black comedy, it's nice to have a show that is so fresh, uplifting, and truly brilliant. Peter Kay can do no wrong in my eyes, his very definite Northern humour has always struck a chord with me, and it feels like the majesty we were given in Phoenix Nights, has been found and reborn in Car Share. Kay and Gibson are both hugely likable people, and their enjoyment and pleasure in working together is so infectious that we as viewers get caught up in the fun and enjoyment that they are having. The music all the way through appeals to me, as being the same age as the cast I appreciate the journey. I'm so glad the second series has been the same high quality as the first.Peter Kay I applaud and thank you. 10/10

All of these positive reviews must be fake! They must be! I gave this one go and I couldn't believe I wasted thirty minutes of my life. They're in the car the whole time talking about rubbish that no one even cares about. The scene never progresses to anything else, it's just two idiots in a car. Peter Kay is not funny,interesting,likable or handsome. Only an idiot with a low IQ would like this show, which I guess lots of the British public are. I can't believe there is more than one series, why is it being allowed to carry on?

I first watched on i-player and thought it was brilliant, Then watched the complete series and was so impressed . the characters work so well together and the whole scenario is so true to life. Hope this returns . The two main characters were really convincing in their portrayal of a couple of strangers brought together in a car share. I thought the episode with the fishmonger on his way to work was brilliant - just how people react in reality. I liked the way the series ended too , no happy ever after ending but just how things usually pan out and also leaves one with the thought that there may be the possibility of another series

I've never really been a massive fan of Peter Kay so I was quite surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this show. Each episode provided enough laughs to keep me coming back for more.I liked the whole concept of the show, 95% of the time is just John & Kayleigh in the car together (occasionally some other characters join them) going to and from work. This comedy is unique in that way because we learn a lot about the characters just from their conversations, we don't actually see anything about their personal lives. If we did I suspect it may have been a bit generic.Peter Kay and Sian Foulkes had a great on screen chemistry and I liked how their friendship developed by simply sharing a car and getting to know each other as we the viewer also got to know them. Sian Foulkes stole the show for me with great comedic timing, she is just a very quirky character.The jokes were very funny and each episode had it's main subplot to follow which kept it fresh. The jokes never seemed repetitive. My favourite episodes were when Kayleigh and John were discussing dogging & also when they give a lift to a colleague (Reece Shearsmith). Also when Peter Kay had a laughing fit it made me have one too.Some parts that I didn't think worked so well was there seemed to be too much singing and also the daydreaming stuff was a bit tedious after a few episodes.Overall it was a comedy that I enjoyed and I hope to see it renewed for more episodes. I hope the two of them can carry on car sharing but I have a feeling that if there is another series then Peter Kay may have a new car sharing partner. A nice lite comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously.8/10.
