Ramy Hassan is a first-generation Egyptian-American who is on a spiritual journey in his politically divided New Jersey neighborhood. He becomes caught between a Muslim community that thinks life is a moral test and a millennial generation that believes life has no consequences. Through it all, he's still trying to do the things that most 20-somethings do, like date. He is essentially a guy who is torn between praying on Fridays and going to parties on Friday nights. Which side will win out in this seemingly endless internal battle?

Yasmine AlSayyad The New Yorker 12/08/2022
The show’s brilliance lies less in recognizing extra pressures that Muslim women are under than in recognizing their tact and determination in pursuing what they want. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 08/12/2022
Ramy has similarities with hipster comedies in the Girls vein, but it’s not nearly so blithe. This is a comedy of excruciating humiliations and unforgivable sins, and while frequently hilarious often not really a comedy at all. Go to Full Review Lara Zarum Globe and Mail 03/05/2020
The show is more thoughtful than laugh-out-loud funny, but it handles its soul-searching subject matter with a light touch. Go to Full Review Linnete Manrique PopMatters 07/20/2021
7/10
Ramy's representation of the Muslim-American experience, the first-generation immigrant experience, and the bilingual experience, is a necessary and welcome addition to the millennial dramedy genre. Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) 02/09/2021
Wise and funny and sad and (slowly) redemptive: what more might one ask? Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent 02/09/2021
We should detest Ramy, yet the script throws a curve-ball that adds another layer to him- he makes you both laugh and think. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
