M Roth This is really fine. Unpretentious, funny, brilliant characters, pitch perfect. I hope the writer, the director and the actors carry on and do more like this!I also like it that it is drawing on the root meaning of "Jihad" which (as a non-Moslem) I understand is the struggle to live a righteous life. But it is all done with a light touch, neither diminishing the idea, nor over-egging it.The pilot draws you in, in a witty sort of a way, and I certainly didn't suspect who the main characters were going to be, until they finally settled into their conversation on the bus.Why on earth hasn't it been put out on the main BBC? It deserves to be shown everywhere, that is: anywhere where there is more than one culture bumping up against each other - where each has to make the best they can of their own world, in the presence of other worlds that might lack in respect or understanding.
Aktham Tashtush Ohh the story is so sweet and the characters are so engaging ,, it's not really bound by an Islamic as much as it is bound by love in general. and the sweet bantering between "Yasmin" and "Nazir" is so fast and catchy ,, the plot now is so easily understandable and the events are smoothly flowing,, the only thing is it's so short :P i also wish it gets more and more with clever comedy ,, same as the one we've seen in the Canadian big Hit "Little Mosque on the Prairie" gosh i miss that show ..the cast are fresh and new for me on the British TV but they went at it like pros ,, their performances were really good and intriguing.Overall, the series started in a fine way,, the screenplay looks fine ,, and i'm anna keep on watching it to see how things are evolving.
