Ramy

Ramy is a fascinating and unusual character: a man with one foot in the traditional Muslim world and one in the space inhabited by metropolitan millennials. Every character in this series is given humanity and agency, even when they act in ways that are counter to Ramy's way of thinking. Traditional Muslim people are represented sympathetically, as are those who have less mainstream viewpoints. Ramy and his friends and family talk a lot about the differences between white people, Muslims, and people of other races and ethnicities; the talk isn't always positive, like in a scene where it's said that "white girls" have "no morals." A character who uses a wheelchair and doesn't have the use of his hands is vital and funny; his abilities are treated matter-of-factly, especially in a scene where we see Ramy helping him in the bathroom. 

Sex and romance are central to this show's plot, which Ramy's mother advising him to find a "high quality" (i.e. Muslim) girl to marry and setting him up with suitable candidates. Meanwhile, Ramy dates and has sex with non-Muslim women, such as in a scene where a couple kisses passionately and starts taking off their clothes before the camera cuts to them asleep in bed. Ramy then goes to the bathroom and fills his (used) condom with water to check it for holes. In another scene, a woman asks Ramy if he has a condom so they can have sex; she also offers a nikah mut'ah (a temporary contract marriage in Islam, often for the purpose of having sex) and then asks for what she wants sexually, which is for Ramy to choke her while she masturbates. She asks him several times to choke her harder, and when he decides not to, she criticizes him for stereotyping her as a Muslim woman who's not supposed to be sexual. A woman talks about getting the "Arab sex talk": her dad simply said to his children "Girls, no boys, boys, no boys."
