Wry portrayal of a conflicted US Muslim millennial

Ramy (played by comedian Ramy Youssef, left) is a young Egyptian-American man living in New Jersey. On the one hand, he wants to to be a good Muslim and observe the tenets of his faith. On the other, he’s a millennial slacker and a big fan of all the temptations of 21st Century life that Islam generally takes a dim view of and which lead him into some distinctly post-watershed situations. Youssef draws on his own experience as a firstgeneration American and a Muslim in this comedy-drama, which is an often very funny exploration of the tension between religion and secularism. Ramy is essentially having a very early mid-life crisis and neither the mosque nor the American culture he is surrounded by has all the answers. Youssef won a Golden Globe for the role.
