I've watched a few episodes on YouTube, but I've yet to see it on TV here in the DC area.
I also enjoy the character of "Ryyan". I get so tired of people, both Muslim and non, acting as if following Islam means you have to act like you're in the 1940's or the 7th Century. You can follow Islam and still be a modern woman. It is a flexible religion, but people tend to forget that. Luckily, I've met enough real-life "Ryyans" to give me hope!
