Here's a Hulu half-hour show from Ramy Youssef, a Muslim millennial, about being a Muslim millennial. It was pretty good! The standout episode is the fourth one, an extended 9/11 flashback; the attacks themselves notwithstanding, it's an utter tragedy to see a middle school Egyptian kid immediately lose all of his friends and kinda-but-not-fully understand why they and their parents suddenly seem to hate him and his. Oof. The show's been renewed for a second season and if you've got Hulu I think it's well worth your time! I mean, where else are you going to get a perspective like this one?
