RAMY
The third season of RAMY (trailer here) came out last weekend and I watched the entire thing in just a few days. Ramy Youssef, the creator of the series, who also directs and stars in it, delivers my favorite season of the show yet. Each episode is funnier than the last and it still manages to tackles some very real issues at the same time. And bonus: Bella Hadid makes her acting debut as Ramy’s best friend’s girlfriend, Lena. Overall, I could not recommend this show enough and I firmly believe it has something for everyone, but I especially recommend it to any child of immigrant parents who’s struggled with balancing their own American identity with their parents’ heritage and culture. At the risk of sounding overly earnest, I’ll say that watching RAMY, I feel seen in a way that I never have before, consuming entertainment in America.
