I like this show because of the content, and the idea behind it. Giving us a look at what the Muslim community goes through (and I'm sure that they have a harder time in America and real life for that matter).
The first season was painful, I'm not going to lie. But there was something endearing about the show that made me and my husband want to watch it more. A lot of shows have first seasons that suck, because basically they are laying groundwork, and doing a little experimenting. I see this entire show as an experiment to how a Muslim sitcom would survive. Nowadays it seems that sitcoms are sexual and offensive. I found the fact that even cursing was held back a lot on this show a refreshing change.
I have not yet finished watching the last season yet because of only recently discovering the show on hulu, but I will be sad when I do complete it. I believe that the show has grown, the characters and writing has grown, and made it possible to connect with the characters.
To all the negative reviews: I'm sorry it isn't your cup of tea, but I wouldn't call people idiots for liking the show. My advice to people thinking about watching, make it through to the middle of the second season before making a decision about the show itself.
