This is a show that spans the highs and lows of the human experience, simultaneously specific and universal, prompting tears, cheers, laughs, and jeers. And isn’t that what great TV is all about?

This punky British comedy about an all-female, all-Muslim rock band is in stride at the start of this second season and rarely deviates.

This show brings me joy, as it brings these women to life with such glee. It has a positivity to it that never compromises the complex questions it raises about faith, friendship, fame, and the power of music.

The show’s music is as great as ever, too, with original tracks supplemented by covers ranging from Nina Simone to Britney Spears...

We Are Lady Parts' Second Act Is Even Better Than Its First

Full Review | Jun 4, 2024

With six snappy, half-hour episodes, Manzoor once again proves that getting to the point quicker doesn’t make a show any less spiky, for all We Are Lady Parts’ zany moments of fourth-wall-breaking fun. Just like punk rock, it’s a sonic blast.

We Are Lady Parts was always Amina’s story, whereas now everyone gets a solo. The result is a series that’s about so much – diversity, identity, ageing, friendship – that it’s no longer sure what it’s really about.

When I pressed play on the second series of We Are Lady Parts, it was hard for me to imagine it being better than the first. But Manzoor somehow manages it. She has continued and expanded the story without missing a beat.

Series two doesn’t up the ante, but it does takes the show’s tried and tested comedy components and uses them to once again build towards an emotionally satisfying pay-off.

It’s refreshing to witness five female Muslim leads... Their coming-of-age stories are layered with romance, sisterhood, music, culture, and self-expression, and they embrace and topple stereotypes at the same time.

[This] sophomore outing recaptures that magic but deepens it, too — with conversations like the above, that dare not only to ask who Lady Parts are but what they mean and what they’re for.

Full Review | May 31, 2024

What works about “We Are Lady Parts” is what works about great punk. You can still fashion something new out of the same old three chords. You just need a distinctive voice.

Full Review | May 31, 2024

It’s an excellent, amusing, whip-smart show, and a quick binge, even if you have to start with that first season. It deserves a following that qualifies as bigger than “not insignificant.”

We Are Lady Parts is the kind of show that gets better with time, with layered stories that are executed in a way that feels true to the characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 29, 2024

This is a comedy that always remembers to be funny, delivering consistently clever jokes while staying true to its characters' lived experiences.

What really makes the show soar are the characters, who come vividly to life through the skill of the writing and the marvelous performances by the entire cast. ... They are always seeking to redefine and reexamine themselves. ... A great show.

Manzoor created a unique voice for the show when it premiered in 2021, and it’s a delight to see that it’s just as loud and proud in Season 2, without any hint of the usual sophomore slump.
