Ramy (2019– )
7/10
From Friday Midday Prayers to Friday Night Party - "Dilemma"
7 July 2020
Ramy Hassan is a first-generation Egyptian-American who is on a spiritual journey in his politically divided New Jersey neighborhood. The show is not solely about Ramy but about his whole family where Ramy's parents and uncle trying to maintain their Islamic values and morals while living in America and constantly interfering and taking charge of their children's life i.e. Ramy and his sister Dena who are in their 20's. Ramy despite of being enthusiast being a proper practicing Muslim but yet constantly indulge himself to do things which are forbidden in Islam specifically Liquor drinking and Sex before marriage. The show depicts the traditional conservative family which is linked directly with their religion to which I don't fully agree rather its about the culture which by the way is Egyptian. However the show is definitely a watch you might agree with many things and disagree to others but it is good to see the mainstream show not portraying Muslims as bad people but......!! Ramy Youssef in and as Ramy is watch worthy you might relate with him many times when he is in situations with moral dilemmas. The show is indeed underrated but has already got acclaim from the critique's including Ramy getting a golden globe for his portrayal of Ramy Hassan. I request you if you're watching this show make sure it is rather from entertainment perspective and not to hurt your religious or moral sentiments.
