Ramy

I was sitting watching tv when the trailer for this series came on.

Something felt wrong.

As a Muslim who grew up in a Western society for 22 years, I do not like the way Muslims are being portrayed.

While I don't share the background of many of the reviewers (and characters), being basically a non-religious, older American woman, I love this show! It's funny, clever and compassionate, showing some of the experiences of non-Christian, non-white immigrant families in America. I was also struck with how a lot of experiences are simply human, as opposed to "Muslim", "young", "male", etc. We ALL want to be accepted for who we are; we all want to give and receive love; we all want things to believe in, regardless of color, race, religion, age and so on. This show does a lovely, subtle job of showing that without being in-your-face confrontational. Particularly loved episode 7. Well done

As a saudi muslim living in america i can say this is the story of my life. i cant Believe what I'm watching its soooooo good. every episode is better than the last one I am so blown away. of my favourite shows

I fell in love with Ramy 1 and his identity crises issue, which is something most Muslim Americans go through. Although I aporeciate the presence of the great actor Mahershala Ali and his great permormance and dedication to the role, I hated the immaturity of Ramy' role in second season.

First, this review is from an Arab Muslim because a lot of the negative reviews highlight that they are Arab Muslims. After finishing season 2 of Ramy, I was left with a lot and a lot of questions that needed an answer. answers not from the series or the creators, but from myself. and only me.

Ramy wasn't just a great story during those two seasons. it was a real journey on it we discover how people feel and think and present themselves to the world and the inner state of mind.

each time I thought to myself, "this person needs an episode for him so we can get to know more of the background of him", the series flies by a story that is emotionally captivating and irreversibly makes all the characters very important with their role in the plot.

it taught me things I have never thought of before. for the real people like "Ramy Hassan" out there, I hope they find their way. to pause their life for some time and re-think about the things they do and want.

there is not a single actor who hasn't been AMAZING in this show. I want to thank every single person who helped in creating this work of art and human narration to self and to others.

Ramy: season 1, 9/10 Ramy: Season 2, 10/10
