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 Dec 8, 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) Aug 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 Mar 5, 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 Jul 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) Feb 9, 2021
Wise and funny and sad and (slowly) redemptive: what more might one ask? Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent Feb 9, 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

See more May 7, 2021 Hilarious, deserves it's high rating! See more Apr 3, 2021 To anyone thinking about watching this show: this entire series is an insanely insightful glimpse into what life and spirituality look and feel like not only for Muslim Americans but also for any immigrant anywhere or any person who grew up in a strongly religious environment. This show explores the doubt, self-hatred, and irreconcilable conflict between who our culture and family expects us to be and who we really are. The show is thought provoking and honest, and I don't think I've ever seen something so real ever produced. I loved it, and I thought season 2 was even more insightful and inspiring.

Details Episode 4 Aired Apr 19, 2019 Strawberries Everyone's suspicious, man; maybe your family was in on it, maybe not; just lie low, and don't draw attention to yourself; it'll all die down -- maybe; just don't ask how these strawberries got here.
