I am 4 episodes in and loving this! Short episodes (always nice) super fun rom com series about a bunch of Muslim women in a punk band called Ladyparts.

Someone join me in loving ‘Voldemort is under my headscarf’ or whatever that song is called!

I loved it! Really refreshing to see Women, and Muslim women at that, centred in comedy for once.

Have watched some, must get back to it. It's witty and outrageous and should be on a main channel. My All4 is playing up.

We binge-watched it in the summer - absolutely loved it!

MrsCatE · 11/11/2021 16:37

I started a thread first time around! Seriously bonkers in a very entertaining way!

Newgirls · 11/11/2021 17:58

It’s brilliant!

MaryStuart · 11/11/2021 19:00

Yes, watched it a few month ago. Loved it!

Voldemort under my headscarf:

There’s an EP available to accompany the series
But it’s probably worthwhile not listening to until you’ve seen all the episodes

Loved it.

clpsmum · 13/11/2021 07:51

I loved this but nobody I know has seen it which is really annoying

jiggeryjaggerywoo · 13/11/2021 07:59

It is brilliant! I really hope there's another series. So much to love in that show Smile

YABU OP - 'If anyone's going to honour kill my sister, it's me' is the best song Grin

Loved it, great cast & funny

I loved it, we watched a few episodes and I need to watch the rest. Can people reassure me that they know what women are on this show? Kept worrying it was going to go woke later on.

As a man watching it - it’s not very woke The women are women There is a bit of single sex relationship, but it all remains on track as a group of individuals united by faith and music

I discussed the show quite a bit with a friend who has mixed race sons and Muslim friends & relatives

I recommended it to her that she will recognise the characters in her nieces (though not as specific individuals, pretty much a mix of character traits)

And from her question as to whether the show could change peoples perceptions of Muslim women ……. Personally I doubt it. Anyone who could do with their perception changed are unlikely to watch

Ideally your friends won’t fall into that category, but you could recommend it to some
It’s a good show that has young women with a passion for music, and they happen to follow the Islamic faith

Tommika · 15/11/2021 15:17

I’m a man, I don’t follow any particular religion, I do like a diverse range of music and I like shows that have something interesting to say

RaisedByPangolins · 15/11/2021 16:27

Tommika are you a man by any chance?

🤣🤣🤣
clpsmum · 15/11/2021 18:54

@Tommika I recommend it to everyone! Don't think my friends watch as much tv as me haha

Tommika · 16/11/2021 11:25

@RaisedByPangolins

You’ve caught me out Smile

It does glare out to me when someone posts that they are a man etc so it did take me some second guessing as to whether to mention it ….. in this instance I decided to

My TV watching goes in bursts
There are particular things I’ll make sure I watch, but when I’m not doing other things at the weekend then I could settle into the sofa for a watching session

Recently I’ve exhausted Netflix & Amazon recommendations

I’ve a few friends who watch lots of TV etc - but they don’t necessarily like all of what I like

MeOldBamboo · 16/11/2021 12:10

I loved it and I have been raving about this to everyone. Clever, and laugh out loud comedy and very refreshing!
