Ramy (Seasons 1–3)

Ramy (2019) is a Hulu tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Ramy Youssef plays the son of Egyptian immigrants in New Jersey, trying to be a devout Muslim and an ordinary American millennial at once — and fumbling both.

Friday mornings he's at the mosque; Friday nights he's on a date that flatly contradicts what he prayed about that morning. His family piles on expectations, his friends tell him to lighten up, and God, the way Ramy feels it, is watching every compromise. The show refuses to make him a saint or a rebel — he's just a confused guy reaching for faith and tripping over himself. Around him are his sister, his immigrant parents and an uncle with some deeply questionable opinions.

Youssef built the series out of his own life and took home a Golden Globe for the lead role in 2020, a rare American sitcom that lets a Muslim character be human instead of a punchline. Mahershala Ali joins the cast in season three. Prickly, awkward and honest about belief and desire, it's for anyone tired of glossy coming-of-age comedies. Stream every season of Ramy online on iFILM.
