Don’t see any shows with characters who look like you, talk like you or share your cultural background? In one obvious regard, “Ramy” is way overdue as a show that features Muslim characters — at least one that doesn’t also feature a ticking bomb and a crate full of assault rifles. Hiam Abbass, left, and Amr Waked play Ramy’s parents, Maysa and Farouk. Ramy’s Muslim buddies have married traditionally, yet leer like creeps at other women and sometimes drink alcohol. An ambiguous conclusion is good news for the viewer, because it feels like we just got to know Ramy and his world.
