Ramy (2019-2022) TV Show Review
When I first watched the first season of Ramy, I wasn’t Muslim.I didn’t know I would become one a few months later either. I watched it as an outsider. Curious, observant, but emotionally detached, or so I thought. Looking back, I wasn’t detached at all. I just didn’t have the language yet for what was…

Elite Season 1 Watched Through a Muslim Lens
Let’s be honest, Elite is chaotic, morally unhinged, and clearly written by people who think shock value equals depth. And yet… it works. I genuinely enjoyed watching it.

Terrace House: The Coziest, Messiest, Most Human Reality Show Ever Made (Warning: Ultra Long Review)

In the way adults avoid responsibility and kids quietly adapt. Shameless follows the Gallagher family, a group of siblings growing up on the South Side…

My Favorite Black Mirror Episodes of Season 3
I really love the science fiction genre and my taste in sci-fi is actually very distinct just like everything else about me. The tech-heavy or hard-science side of the genre really bores me unless it’s character-driven with romance arcs and plenty of other elements to give it more personality. What I’m really drawn to are…

Crashing (2016) UK TV Series Review
Crashing is about a group of twenty-somethings living together as property guardians in a massive, abandoned hospital. So British lol they’re broke, directionless, emotionally messy, and way too close to each other for comfort. Basically: chaos with thin walls. It’s short, fast, awkward in the best way, and painfully funny. Every episode feels like it ends…

Misfits follows a group of young adults who are forced to do community service together until a strange electrical storm strikes the city and suddenly gives them superpowers, but not the glamorous kind.
