... just in case the end song was miscredited to Bruce Springsteen, who did cover it I believe, 'Jersey Girl' was written and in this case, performed by Tom Waits - I know I know but it's an important distinction and the captions said Springsteen... sooo yaaa

A beautiful episode
sista41122 January 2020
Even if you don't watch the series, which you should, this episode could stand on its own. A perfect little short story that could be right out of Modern Love. Hiam Abbass is perfect. Her hope, her loneliness, her dejection, her beauty are all so quietly palpable. I love the simple honesty of this show and this episode was at the same time a very separate story but so perfectly woven into the experience of Ramy and his family. Sigh. I think I'm going to go watch it again. Please give us more short stories like these.
Ne Me Quitte Pas

A Ramy light episode as it concentrates on his mother's loneliness.
Maysa feels taken for granted and wants a bit of excitement. Even maybe a few likes in her Facebook posts.
With her husband not keen on her doing exercise classes. Maysa takes up being a Uber driver. Hoping she will meet new people.
Maysa thinks illicit romance might be in the air when she meets Jacques, a businessman who hates New York.
He loves speaking French with Maysa. This was certainly an episode with lots of subtitles.
Maysa connects with Farouk for a bit, until he returns to his favourite show.

first episode of Ramy I didn't really care for

Warning: Spoilers
Overall I do like this series, sometimes love it, but this episode was a bit too predictable and mired in obvious cliches for me to really warm up to. Of course Maysa's foray into being a Lyft driver isn't what she expected. Don't we all know that gig jobs like that are pretty wretched?
And then she meets a French guy who appreciates being able to smoke in her car and of course she misinterprets the situation as romantic. It was a given that her heart would be broken but after all, she's married and has a husband at home who doesn't seem like a total jerk and doesn't deserve to be cheated on.
