    Amina is written as almost childishly innocent: “Sure, he had Dementor vibes but his eyes were actually kind of dreamy.” It’s all held together in an exuberant manner, though.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. A lot of the personalities and situations are fairly similar, standard ones you might see in most sitcoms. The general arc and ending aren't really going to take anyone by surprise.
    But there are two things that elevate this and turn it from a sweet, easygoing, gently funny sitcom into something really worth watching.

Loved all the characters, from strong willed front women Siara to Amina, puke-prone guitarist with stage fright. All the characters are Muslim, which might explain the critical embrace WALP gets on Metacritic vs the the more finicky user reviews(some folks just won't evolve) The show is sharp, humane and ambitious, far far more so than most comedies I have watched over the last few years. Rather than lean on the stereotypes that society has thrust upon Muslim women, WALP gives us rich portraits of the five members with a full arc and lots of cultural depth. Check it out, well worth the watch.… Full Review »
