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.

A stand-up comedian trying his hand at a TV series. Can that go well? In Ramy Youssef's case, the answer to this question is a clear yes. In the comedy series named after him, Ramy, Youssef talks about his experiences as a raised Muslim in the corners of New Jersey. The focus is on the interplay between his own culture, the American dream and the activities of a typical American millennial. One cannot give Ramy Youssef enough credit. Not only is he the creator and the main character of the series, but he often directs and is responsible for the script in several episodes. It is simply his show. No wonder, the plot is told almost exclusively from his point of view and it is virtually his memoirs. As Ramy Hassan, he is in a self-discovery phase throughout the season, questioning what kind of Muslim he wants to be. The part-time worshipper who visits a mosque maybe once every two months? Or the one who deals intensively with his origins, learns Hindi and abstains from sexual activities until marriage? For Ramy, it is already too late for the latter. Sexuality and partnership play a central role in every episode. Quick marriage yes or no? Yussef is not above letting important secondary characters develop as well. Two of the ten episodes are only about Ramy's sister Dana (May Calamaway) and his mother Maysa (Hiam Abbass) and their situations in this disciplined lifestyle. This urge for discipline comes mainly from the father of the family Farouk (Amr Waked), who is available for some funny moments despite his strict principles. In general, the series is very satirical and does not take itself too seriously. This becomes especially clear in the dialogues, which are full of wit and self-irony. Nevertheless, you completely buy the actors' indecision between religion and "freedom'' in the emotional and more dramatic scenes. Superbly written, a refreshing back-and-forth of genres and great characters who teach you a great deal about Islam and its phenomena as they go their various ways. One episode even deals with 9/11 and how anti-terrorist Muslims experience terrorism being reduced to their entire group. Some episodes have a sitcom character, focusing purely on the comedic aspect and less on the religion factor involved. This is the only significant weakness of the first season of Ramy, as they seem a little out of place despite high entertainment value. Nevertheless, the fascinating character study around Ramy and his family and friends clearly prevails. The series is on a very high level, especially in the second half, in terms of the interplay between comedy, drama and social satire. The ending can even be interpreted as open, which makes one look forward to the second season of Ramy.

Amazing show, I'm not Muslim, but growing up in Long Island NY as an Asian immigrant I definitely relate to the show in so many ways, reminded me of shows like Master of None and Atlanta. So funny times yet some of the issues addressed on the show are so serious, loved how it balanced that out.
-
Full of heart, comedy, and overall wonderful screenplay. It's never a bore to follows through the threads of the story.
-
Ramy walks the line between hilarious & poignant. It shows the power of representation and perspective. We need more like it
-
Hysterical. One of the best comedies I have seen in years. Ramy delves into the question of identity, and where the line is drawn between faith and surviving the 21st century. Spectacular.
