Review of Ramy

Ramy (2019– )
1/10
Collection of exceptions rather than true reality
18 September 2019
1) the show is an example of another Orientalism problem: show is full of stereotypes about angry and irrational Arabs even though Ramy looks like breaking these sets and many other things 2) looks like authors were collecting all exceptions like antisemitic uncle, old fashioned parents, dumb friends.. in reality this all would be balanced. Stories dont look natural 3) i've been to many mosques around the World and never seen the one like on Ramy: irreligious (anti-religious) discussion in a mosque ( like sneafing cocaine ?) , Visitors looks like they dont know how to pray and so on. 4) looks like all Arab characters are dumb in the show

The show is rather a depiction of how some maybe muslim millenials ( who barely see mosques or muslim communities in their daily life ) imagine their counterparts than the real picture of Muslim communities.
