Is it for me?
Comedy fans who like their laughs bleak and their family scenes loud will get the most out of this. Riz Ahmed plays Shah openly, and early on he keeps blanking on the same line while a Bond director loses patience. Guz Khan, as cousin Zulfi, chews up every room he walks into.
Before you start
Each episode moves fast and borrows a different look, so expect the style to shift from one to the next.
1 season, 6 episodes, 26 min each, about 3 hours so far
