Season 1 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.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 2 Review:
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.

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.

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

Productive in sense that it’s an all Arab cast but I’m tired of hearing about the Muslim/Arab American lifestyle from a Muslim - Arab man’s perspective.
