Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

MacCarmel After reading all the reviews, I think you have to be from a small town to appreciate this show which is all about a small town. I'm from a town of 4000. Everything about this show rings true to me. Everyone knows everything about everyone. And they talk about it, and you, regularly. With or without you being present.I really like that this show has the small minded people of a small town learning from each other and always falling back on the fact that they are neighbors. They've known each other all their lives. It does, and it should, mitigate all ill will and hurt feelings. No better example than Fred Tupper, played by Neil Crone, who is the local right wing xenophobic loud mouth. Live and let live was what I grew up on in my small town. And it's what you get with this series.I tuned out in season 4, however, with the departure of the flawed but kind Rev. Magee and the introduction of Rev. Thorne. The writing for Magee and Thorne were polar opposite and the writing for this new character ruined the show for me. He's mean, vindictive, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim and all this from a man of the cloth. Too much for a comedy. Too bad the writers ruined a good thing.

jmwlmt I don't see why this series has gotten so many bad reviews. It just came to the US market on Pivot and I think it's pretty entertaining. It's not trying to be high drama or acerbic satire-- It's just a cute little show. It can be a little predictable and the jokes sometimes fall flat, but it's funny inoffensive and emphasizes the similarities between Christians and Mulisms rather than exploiting the differences. Deconstructing and over analyzing programs like this one is a waste of time. You don't go to a picnic expecting surf and turf, and you don't watch shows like Little Mosque for the brilliant writing and heartfelt acting.

goldenstar2 Just because we live in Canada does CBC believe they are obliged to torture us with this unmitigated rubbish, I think their PC agenda is shining through! I can think of hundreds of good Canadian ideas for a comedy, this garbage is not up to par! I admit I have only viewed one episode and found the acting lame, the jokes tired etc. etc., unfortunately, as I live on the prairies there are no cliffs to jump over to escape Canadian television, I will just have to tune into some US garbage! CBC have defiled a wonderfully good series "Little House on the Prairie"; great actors and good story lines. I am amazed that CBC have not learned over the years the type of shows that would be of interest to Canadians, we have such a wonderful and diverse history surely you can come up with something? CBC please burn this series!

jackfertig LMOTP is very much in the vein of earlier comedies about a new ethnic group integrating into the new world. OK, Muslims are not AN ethnic group and the Muslims of Mercy are am ethnic mosaic unto themselves. Admittedly the show started off pleasant, but less than brilliant and has been sliding on its charm - a bit thin and predictable. Still it's no worse than a lot of sitcoms. A bit gentle and old-fashioned for some tastes, but is that so bad? Even though I'm a Muslim I enjoy the sex-and-violence appeal of something like "True Blood" -- totally absent here -- but as a Muslim I find it very relaxing, even therapeutic, to see something about Muslims on TV that is gentle and bloodless. Some of these reviews complain that it's not controversial. Why should everything about Muslims have to be controversial? I'm tired of nearly everything on the tube about my religion and my community dripping with snark or going for the adrenaline. If this is a bit quaint and soporific, even if it is simple and clichéd it shows Muslims with a sense of humor, Muslims as ordinary people who might be your neighbors, and you'd be OK with that. That alone makes this show unique and very welcome.Arguably we all deserve better on a lot of counts, but like it or not, for humanizing Muslims on TV this is the best we have so far, and on that count it's far better than anything in the USA. Flawed as it is, LMOTP is a welcome first step in the right direction.
