Geeky biochemical engineering Ph.D. student Amina Hussein becomes the unlikely lead guitarist of Lady Parts, an all-female Muslim punk band on a mission to get a proper gig. Saira, the band's fierce and enigmatic frontwoman, sees something in Amina the others can't. Saira leverages Amina's desperation to find a husband and offers to set her up with potential matches if she agrees to join. Torn between her straitlaced university friends and members of Lady Parts, Amina tries to find her voice.

Infectious energy, great songs, and a magnetic cast come together to make We Are Lady Parts a rocking comedy that is as subversive as it is hilarious.

Short, pithy and outrageously funny.

3.5/4

Full of smash-cuts and rapid-fire dialogue, the six-episode series is subversive and confident and almost merrily rowdy in spirit.

Sstories like these deserve to be told, and I hope this was just their first track on a very long, very punk album.

You'll fall in love with the characters, the music and lead Anjana Vasan, whose awkwardness and line delivery are hilarious. A wonderful, feel-good gem.

I just started watching this show with my wife. To be honest, I was a little ambivalent about the story line and never heard of it before. But, I was hooked after the first episode. The chemistry between the actors is great from the start. The writing is crisp & engaging, so that it draws the viewer into a sometimes whimsical world built upon the foundation of real life struggles and difficult choices. The true “potential” of this show will only become apparent with time. Will it become another Modern Family, Friends, or Seinfeld. It has the potential. However, some of its fate lies with Peacock and the media producers. It will be a shame if they don’t give it a chance and renew it. Would we really remember Seinfeld decades later if they had cancelled it after the second season? Probably not.

Brash and irreverent but always warm-hearted at core.
