Ramy: Refugees (2019)
Dena, Dena, Dena
In "Refugees" (Season 1, Episode 6), Dena takes center stage as she tries to date a barista she meets at school. Yet her character feels conceived with broad brushstrokes. For example, even a "good Muslim woman" would know more about sex than the show indicates-an issue that Shamira Ibrahim explores in her piece for The Atlantic, "What Ramy Gets Wrong About Muslim Women".
Ramy: Between the Toes (2019)
Ramy Youssef is a talent to watch
The show is more thoughtful than laugh-out-loud funny, but it handles its soul-searching subject matter with a light touch. Each episode deals with specific scenarios like dating within and outside your culture or sudden unemployment. It all creates a rich tapestry of a character and a world that is both specific and relatable. In 28 minutes, that episode of Ramy nails the complexity of having everyone question your integrity because of your faith and how you look, leading to an adoption of performative patriotism, even if you're only 10 years old. You will need a Starz subscription to access this semi-autobiographical series on Crave, but trust me - it's worth it.
