House of Gods

I really enjoyed this and am surprised it is not higher rated. It's an unusually thoughtful piece - not full of high impact cresendos but instead a very human drama, a slow and quiet unfurling of the stories of a muslim family, an exploration of how their faith & community both inspires them and limits them. The characters are well drawn, all surprisingly ordinary and relateable despite their context and the dilemmas their faith presents. The relationships are complex and well portrayed,and you sense their points of connection and disconnect, they are a unit but each is living their own indivudual journey. It it not at all a Muslim Sopranos, though the backdrop of that community gives it an interesting and rich slant. It's a complex and layered human drama that anyone could relate to. I hope there's a second series!
