Ramy resonates because it treats its characters’ lives with the utmost compassion. Their struggles are universal, as are the jokes, and whether you’re a viewer excited to see a practicing Muslim leading a TV show or just a white guy looking for a good comedy to stream, Ramy delivers the goods. We need more series like it, in every sense of the phrase. Read full review

Ramy is interested in the kinds of big political and cultural questions that TV comedies don’t often ask. ... Aesthetically and tonally, much of Ramy feels similar to other coming-of-age single-camera dramedies. In terms of the stories it chooses to tell, however, Ramy feels like nothing else on TV.

The depth and diversity of perspectives on Muslim observance make Ramy a trailblazer, but it's already progressive enough as a show that is specifically and not just incidentally about religion. Oh and it's also able to be extremely funny, unexpectedly emotional and consistently eye-opening as something that's both operating within a familiar formula and utterly confident in its own voice.

“Ramy” is an effective rebuttal to stereotyping for the same reason that it’s simply good TV: It’s a complex, funny series about messy and specifically drawn people. Read full review

If all this seems heavy and difficult, then so be it. “Ramy” is also moving and smart and genuine. The trade-off seems reasonable to me. Read full review

Ramy doesn’t always land every joke; sometimes, it even drops punchlines entirely in order to chase a more contemplative vibe that might not appeal to everyone. But to its credit, Ramy isn’t especially trying to appeal to everyone. Instead, it digs into the specificity of its star’s perspective and experience to deliver something much more unique--and that, more than anything, is what makes it so worthwhile. Read full review

The Guardian Adrian Horton

It’s initially a slow burn, but through it all, Ramy consistently subverts and redirects expectations, and doesn’t hide from tough contradictions, such as Muslim relatives who admire Trump or Ramy’s unsuccessful attempts to abstain for Ramadan. Read full review

I watched the first two episodes and this might be the funniest show I've ever seen! It's refreshing to see a Muslim American actor in a lead comedic role.

I think it just gets better every episode and I think in past years Muslim kids really struggle with the Muslim life and modern life happy for Hulu for that show

It took me about 3.5 episodes to get hooked, and it just keeps improving throughout the season. The more you understand the characters, their struggles and their motivations, the better it gets.

Ramy fits in the same category as High Maintenance. It's real, and it's darn funny.

As I expected ... not funny and too religious. Maybe inside jokes for "insiders".
