This show feels pretty much groundbreaking. Sure, it clearly draws inspiration from a lot of sources, but it becomes something completely original and unique thanks to its representation and diversity. I feel like Muslim characters are rarely portrayed with such realism, sincerity and variety. And without falling into any dangerous or bigoted tropes, too. It's obvious that Nida Manzoor writes and directs from experience, and that allows her to speak from her heart through these characters. Also, it certainly helps that they are played by a group of incredibly talented performers. And obviously, I can't end this review without mentioning the fantastic music that we get in pretty much every episode. So yeah, if you're looking for something funny, joyous and truly special, do give We Are Lady Parts a try.

I read this beautiful book and I just want to put a hope out into the universe...these two would be the perfect Zaf and Dani.
