    Loved season 2, it was deeper, it was real. I hope that we saw all the dirt, I mean, that finale was a big 'fork you' for Ramy, so I hope in season 3 he get his shirt together and stops hurting people.
    Ps. I loved the parents episodes, specially Farouk's

    Season 2 was even better then Season 1. The episode of Ramy’s father, Farouk, just hit so close to home for me and spoke volumes... it was one of my favorite episodes of S2 (the parent episodes were very much my favorites, really). “Ramy” has really helped me better understand Islam as someone who grew up Muslim, but did not practice it growing up. I’ve grown closer to Islam and very thankful for all the work they have done. I laughed, I cried, and I thought deeper about what being Muslim means. Inshallah they win all the awards. Bravo. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🤲🏼

    This show is great as a dark comedy not as a representation of actual Muslims in the west. Most of us are not cripplingly addicted to pornography and casual sex. I think the main issue is that the core audience of this show will be offended by this show, ie actual Muslims who are going into this show expecting something that this is not. This is not an actual representation of Muslims in the West, this is a representation of fake Muslims who have sold out to the West.
    The whole family is hilarious in that they all pretend to be Muslims but fail at almost every morality test they are given despite being Muslim and stereotyped and all that for their believes. So their religion serves no purpose to them and they are still targeted for it. That's the genius of it. If you expect the main character to have any redemption this show will suck, if you go into the show knowing he will fail at every test ever given to him, then this show is actually hilarious.
    Fair warning to actual Muslims and I say this as one of the most secular Muslims out there but still hold core values true, this show is offensive to Muslims. Many of the scenes actually pissed me off. There's a scene there where they almost made it look like they were about to have gay oral sex but nope he's reaching for a prayer mat and then they pray together and during them praying I was still worried they were going to touch each other and have gay sex while praying...it's just gross, but yeah the guy who made this show I can't see how he calls himself a Muslim, nothing is sacred to him so there you go.
    Still hilarious dark comedy with an Islamic twist.

      @yusufkidwai9266 3 года назад +1

      It's kinda the point. If a show is about a white person, it isn't considered a representation of the white experience. Ramy tries to normalise shows about Muslims, not introduce muslims to the world.

    • @ITyraxI
      @ITyraxI 3 года назад

      Everything the show touches on is exaggerated for this to be a drama worth being on TV. But all the issues you highlighted are actual issues young muslims in NA go through, perhaps at a much lighter level or only in 1 aspect. As they said, its a melting pot and alot of people struggle with not melting. Often we have 1 aspect of our lives where we do melt and struggle with it. In that sense its relatable.
