United States of Al (2021–2022)
8/10
Absolute gem

Funny how many people here are complaining that the actor the Afghan producer picked is not "Afghan enough". They seem not understand the concept of acting. Guess what? Leonard Nimoy wasn't really half Vulcan and now the shocker: Michael Dorn is really a human, not a Klingon.

I am Greek, Bronson Pinchot is not. At all. But I liked "Perfect Strangers" and I think he was cast well because he is funny!

However they manage to get light hearted humor out of cultural and even religious differences without getting preachy or offensive.

The characters are credible, flawed and likable.

The concept borrows a little from "Perfect Strangers" but the twist with the war veteran is new and in my opinion handled very well.
