When I first heard of We Are Lady Parts I thought it sounded interesting and fresh. I'm an American white guy but I also grew up in one of the most diverse areas of the world (outer suburbs of NYC) and I think that experience has always driven me towards seeking novelty and different perspectives. I thought this would be that, but honestly, it really feels like just about any other mainstream British sitcom/comedy with a slightly different hook. It's like they took the template, put it in an idea generator, and selected the female and Muslim options.
It's fine, it's absolutely not bad in any way shape or form, and there are some very talented people involved in this. Im also glad that some people really seem to enjoy this show, so I'm glad it exists (although the trend on IMDb of everything being a 1 or 10 is getting old fast) for the people that love it, but unfortunately I wasn't one of those people. There's so much great material to mine here from the crossover of music and Islam in a Western society and the female perspective, yet it all just ends up feeling so...bland.
