The reviews are unanimous in their approval. Critics like that a sitcom about an all-female Muslim punk band lets its characters be funny, rude, confused and devout at once, rather than making a lesson of them. The praise clusters on the band itself: the easy camaraderie between the women, the sisterhood that holds the plotting together, and the original songs, which several critics single out as funny in their own right. The ensemble is admired across the board; Collider picks out Anjana Vasan and Sarah Kameela Impey, and IndieWire credits Nida Manzoor’s direction with drawing a spark from the performance scenes.
The spread is narrow. The one clear reservation comes from The Telegraph, which enjoys the premise and the lead but thinks the series tries a little too hard to be cool and paints with a broad brush. One or two others note the chaos of the plotting without holding it against the show. Nobody dislikes it; the disagreement is only about how warmly to recommend it.
