So when I heard about a series made by an american streaming service about an american Muslim young man of Egyptian descent I, being and Egyptian Muslim, kinda knew what to expect, conflict between the liberal american life style and the conservative Islamic beliefs and of course parents who value the traditions of the old country more than they value religion which common among born Muslims and quit honestly the show didn't disappoint, it showed a weird Egyptian everyday family living in the American society so this part of it didn't surprise me but was never the less very delightful.
what truly surprised me, in a good way, however was all the 1980s and 1990s nostalgia left subtly for Egyptian in the know in most of the Arabic music that featured in the show but the most delightfully surprising part of it is Amr Waked's make up, it's like everyday before shooting he went to the make up artist looking like an Egyptian young-ish man and he came out looking like Refaat Ismael in a good day and if you're an Egyptian Millennial who doesn't know who Refaat Ismael is then I'm sorry that your life as teenager was magic free.
