I'm Indian American and watched this series in 1 sitting... 10 episodes, with my white girlfriend. We both LOVED IT.
The performances were fantastic - Poorna J (Lucky Auntie) steals every scene!
It's SO wonderful to see South Asian characters in an unapologetically funny and twisted light! None of it is serious - it's incredibly creative and imaginative. The comedy was fresh, culturally specific and utterly relatable. It fearlessly brings characters we've never seen (Pakistanis and Indian Americans) in gangster / drug genre movies. It's so well executed, and had so much heart! There were moments that were generally moving!
I hope it gets renewed for 10 seasons!
There were some moments that were so captivating, so laugh out loud funny - I found myself replaying them several times before continuing.
Do yourself a favor... watch it now!

Looking for something to watch on a boring night of TV? Five hundred channels and nothing on? Give this show a shot. We needed something new to kill time on TV, and remembered the ads for this show. I have to say it did start a little slowly, and there are a few references early on that some people may not "get." But about halfway through the first episode, a lot of that had been put aside and the fun started. A lot of good back-and-forth dialogue that keeps you listening and interested. The storyline takes a few unexpected twists and turns as well. We're 4 episodes in, and we're looking forward to the rest of the season.
I finally found a good comedy to watch even if it's a dark one! I'm a fan of dark comedies anyway. You can get away with much more in these type series. Absolutely love the clash of cultures and the ways of life. There's a stereotype but their characters themselves make fun of it. Really good story fits modern day perfectly. Plenty of laugh out loud scenes and screwed up families. You find yourself really rooting for some of the characters to succeed. The series succeeds where many others fail. The only thing I wish is that the episodes were an extra 5 minutes longer. There is plenty of story to tell in the series. Looking forward to the next season.
I can't name many sitcoms that have made me laugh over the last decade, but I can add DELI BOYS to the list. It is so much fun.
DELI BOYS succeeds where so many sitcoms fail. It is genuinely funny, but it has that larger than life situation that helps it be funny. The surprising and shocking twists and turns make it laugh out loud funny.
There's a nice ensemble cast that makes this show work. The cast has really nice chemistry.
With so many comedies that don't work because they are unfunny dramedies or zinger based one liner sitcoms, we really need fun shows like DELI BOYS. I really hope Hulu renews it for a second season.

Praying for a renewal!!! I need season 2!
Deli Boys is seriously one of the best shows ever! I can't believe how funny and relatable it is. The characters are super cool, and you just wanna hang out with them. Every episode has me laughing and feeling all the feels at the same time.
The writing is hilarious, and the actors totally nail their roles. It's just a great mix of comedy and some real-life stuff that hits home. I really want them to bring it back for more seasons because there's so much more they could do with the story and the characters.
So yeah, let's get a renewal for Deli Boys! I need more of that wild ride in my life!
