The authenticity of the Hassans’ dysfunction is aided by Waked and Abbass’ cosmic chemistry. ... The “Ramy” writers’ room forces the audience to sit in his social discomfort with him. You cannot escape. You will marinate in the embarrassment until you’ve forgotten what it was like. ... “Ramy” is unlike anything else on television, but its closest relative is “Better Call Saul.”
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.

Don’t know if it would meet the Bechdel test but this exploration of modern Muslim-American life is brilliantly well rounded and seems realistic.
Report
"Ramy" ... takes the oldest of premises -- how to resolve commitment to one's culture and religion with the assimilating nature of the US -- and infuses it with situations that give the series life and depth.
Ramy is an earnest exploration of Muslim identity that at times runs toward saccharine; one gets the impression that the show, mindful that the mere act of being Muslim in America is provocative, has carefully neutered itself of anger. But Ramy makes up for this with an unflinching, transgressive portrait of American Islam, one that holds both its traditions and its deviations from tradition in the same embrace. With squirming detail, Ramy pays attention to the bodies of its characters.
These are, without question, very dark times for the Hassan family, but that makes their moments of clarity all the more beautiful.
As with any show that is absorbingly personal and refreshingly new, you can’t help but want to see more, know more.
The originality and verve of the first season sparkled with its original explorations of the mundane; here that evaporates in bleak, brutal episodes where any optimism previously shown towards self-improvement and faith are dashed against a cynical series of anecdotal beachheads.
Phenomenal in describing Muslims and thier traditions and difficulties in the U.S
Report
Refreshing in its topicality but not in its method. It is more a realistic commentary/documentary than a real work of art. Still more interesting than 85% of the rest of so-called "prestige" TV
