We Are Lady Parts

I fell in love with this show 15 minutes into the first episode. The characters are refreshingly unexpected, complex, funny and endearing. (And the music rocks!) It's clear that it was written and directed by a woman. The world needs more shows like this. Whatever creator Nida Manzoor does next I'm watching!

Yes I am a Muslim woman and sure I wouldn't do some of the things the girls did BUT SOME GIRLS DO. And that doesn't make them any less religious or make you "real" Muslims better than them. I liked that it showed multiple different types of Muslim girls bc I've seen all those kinds. I understand it may not be entirely accurate but it's refreshing to see the same old representation that we get which is just girls taking their hijabs off for a white boy. And stop with this real Muslims can listen to music, like why did you even watch the show?

It seems this happens every time a new show comes out, a series of reviews pop up with "garbage", "don't watch this" and "I wish I could give it less than 1 star" types of comments. All of the poor reviews with a "1" rating are by accounts established exactly 4 days ago (as of June 3rd) and they each have exactly one review. Sound suspicious? Well it is probably one person with multiple IMDb accounts. At a minimum don't trust those at all.

This show came up on my Peacock app today, I watched the first episode where the star, a PhD candidate in college, is first interviewing prospective husbands at the insistence of her parents. She teaches music, the actress is actually a guitar player and singer. Then she has a chance to join a band that needs a great guitarist, but she has too much anxiety when on stage in front of others. However there wouldn't be a show if she weren't able to overcome it.

At first blush some of it seems a bit silly, no doubt a British comedy with British sensibilities, but I found myself being entertained. The more I got into it the more I liked it. I enjoyed the occasional "dream sequence" musical number inserted at appropriate places. I know nothing of the culture depicted here but it doesn't matter, the dialog is inventive, with a number of references to mainstream movies, and the whole show is appropriately "inappropriate." After seeing all six episodes I found myself wondering how it would play if edited as a continuous 2-ish hour movie.

There are only six episodes and each is about 24 minutes, just right for when you don't have 2 hours to watch a movie. Prospective views need to understand, however, the script writer loves salty language, especially the F-word, and often I found that a bit disconcerting coming from these young ladies.

All-in-all I enjoyed the whole series of six episodes, something quite different for me.

Can't imagine this show running in any network a few years ago. But this is 2021 and we can see little gems like this. Unique, funny, insightful, full of small punch lines that make you laugh. And the characters are quite interesting. Although they seem exaggerated, you can actually see them show up one of these days in the flesh. Recommended.

This series is an absolute beauty. A fun ride roller coaster with lots of humor, sarcasm, feminism, Islamic prohibition, and obviously friendship and family.

Just imagine 4 Muslim girls wearing hijabs and bourkha were played a rock song in a punk band, how it seems? Yeah, that's kind of interesting this series is. Moreover, this is a sitcom. I mean there's lots of comedy, or should I say situational comedy! And sarcasm and funs.

And all the characters are refreshingly unexpected, complex, funny, self-portrait and endearing. Girl's power, witticism, and obviously punk rock. The story and screenplay were good enough to engage the viewers until the end. And interesting, funny too.

The lyrics were too good. Acting skills, anyone could have stunned with their acting skill. The cinematography and the directing were good. The main fact is, I'm in love with this series. Thank you Nida Manzoor and her teams.
