United States of Al

It's a delightful light comedy that is doing a good job to address a major issues so many people are going through. I have no clue why people are critical of it. It's a 30 min sitcom, I'm not sure what they expect.

It's rare and about time that network comedies take a chance on a new challenging premise. Al is an Afghanistan legal immigrant who worked as a translator for the United States military. He comes to Columbus, Ohio where the American soldier and his family welcome him into their home. The sitcom needs time. The cast is fine but the show is stilling trying to find itself. The actor who played Al I'd not Afghani but he is talented an experienced. He was David spade's assistant in rules of engagement and played a Muslim foreign exchange student in another sitcom. I'm glad to see chs exploring other cultures and religions. I only wished they did it sooner.

Sad that people seem to be missing the intelligence of this gentle loving humor. So far I am very impressed with all actors and the show's intentions and social import. See thru your cynicism and bias, its all a form of not getting it.

I thought it was a good show!! We laughed and for a pilot episode think that it's good enough to watch again!!

First of all Asyir Kalyan overacted ad nauseam, so much that he ruined every scene But as the series is moving on, he has toned down and is effective . The premise could work especially if they develop the PTSD aspects . I like the other cast members, I am going to give this one a chance.
