Extraordinary! Yalla, Season 2 Now!

This show seriously exceeded my expectations. For some reason, I expected the usual stereotypes and cringe-inducing humor that comes at the price of Arab-American dignity BUT instead found a brilliant, funny, poignant human story told with grace and subtlety. So many laugh-out-loud moments (Sameer is the breakout comic star for me!) alternating with heartbreaking sob-caught-in-my mouth moments. Although I'm not Palestinian, I am Arab, so I found the depictions of music, family, culture, identity powerful and deeply resonant - I'm curious to know if non-Arab audiences will feel the same heart-strings tugged? Either way, I'm convinced there's something in this show for everyone. Pure genius. Bring on Season 2 Ba'a!!
