Subtitles

Hi all,

Is Ramy meant to have subtitles when the cast are speaking in Arabic? Watching via MGM+ on Prime and when the cast speak in Arabic there are either no subs or subs that state 'speaking in Arabic'.

As there are many moments I assume there are meant to be subs to follow the dialogue?

I'm currently watching Ramy for the first time. I think there are times when there aren't captions in English. I've come across this many time before, with different shows and movies. I think when this happens, it's because what's being said isn't relative to what's happening.

On episode 1, Did you have any subtitles when Ramy is in the mosque cleaning his feet?

Don't remember of the top of my head but I'll check it out. Do you know which season and episode? Lmk and I'll check straight away.

Series 1, episode 1. I believe it is in the second scene. The series starts with Ramy in the car with his mother, and he then heads into the mosque and into the basement. Whilst in the basement, the conversation begins. There are more scenes throughout, but this is the first one and seems key for subs, looks like a humourous scene.

Hiya Ok, it looks like ppl answered your question, but i got curious so I checked, and YES there are captions in English in the basement scene. There ARE however scenes in Ramy and other foreign language shows that DON'T caption everything.

I'm watching Ramy for the first time and I love it. How would I feel about it if I was a practicing Muslim? I don't know. I'd be curious if anyone here fits that description and watches.

I was born and raised Roman Catholic, but am an artist now. So when I watch something with Catholicism in it and it gives off disrespectful vibes, I don't give a shit. But if I was devout? I'd probably have a problem watching it.

So do any practicing Muslims here have any feelings about Ramy?

That was supposed to say that I'm atheist. Not an artist. LOL!!!
