I am a 57 year old Dutch man who accidentally found this series as I was scrolling down the list of Golden Globe winners. I thought the premise stood out, and gave it a try. Well, I am so pleasantly surprised by Ramy! First of all Ramy himself is totally adorable as the hipster/ muslim boy. He is charming, handsome, funny and smart. Ramy wants to be a good muslim but finds himself often in situations where it is impossible to choose to be a decent muslim or a happy cityboy. This makes for bittersweet episodes that pile up prejudice upon prejudice. Ramy gives all his family member and friends their own stories, many times so confrontational it becomes painful to watch, but luckily the many funny twists make it still digestible. Ramy undeniable has deserved his Golden Globe. The stories Ramy tells are spot on. They capture American society from a muslim perspective and that is not often seen on tv. I should also mention the photography, it is gorgious and artful, and at its best in the surreal scenes.
