An adult-animated series following the maniacally upbeat Husseins - the most patriotic, most peaceful, and most definitely-not-suspicious Muslim family in post-9/11 "Amreeka." With satire and absurdity, it redefines finding humor in hardship as they navigate the early 2000s under the watchful eyes of their terrified neighbors.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Packed with keen insights into the Arab American experience and even more off-color jokes, #1 Happy Family USA is a riotously funny animated comedy that might not be fit for the whole family but is a worthwhile tribute to it.

#1 Happy Family USA, co-created by Ramy Youssef and Pam Brady, isn’t nearly as astute as Youssef's work in Ramy or Mo. But this Prime Video series can be a delight—at least when the Egyptian American family at its core stays in the spotlight. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine May 1
#1 Happy Family USA is a funny and insightful kid’s eye view of growing up in a society that forces you to choose between constantly code-switching to appease bigots and being openly hated for who you are. Go to Full Review Aymann Ismail Slate Apr 29
#1 Happy Family USA is extremely funny, even if you don’t get every joke. It is a Saturday afternoon adult cartoon binge you will be surprised how much you needed. Go to Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Jun 2
The comedy is fast and hysterical; the animation is striking and poignantly wistful, the depiction of the Egyptian social shenanigans is spot-on, and, most importantly, the themes of identity it shrewdly explores are pertinent and provoking. Go to Full Review Will DiGravio Paste Magazine May 8
9/10
In his performance, Youssef captures the angst and pain of Hussein’s situation, while leaving room to have fun with the absurdity of his paranoia, both real and imagined. This is the show’s genius. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba May 2
#1 Happy Family USA is chaotic and weird and often very gross, but it’s also deeply thoughtful in ways that sneak up on you. It’s the kind of show that somehow earns its scatological jokes by anchoring them in something real. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tom F Oct 9 Lots of fun, but a bit scattershot. See more Daiken R Jul 3 Some good memories of the world 25 years ago. The show has some funny moments but as a Muslim, that was also in school during the 9/11 attacks, I find this show hard to relate to. I mean the family are wackos, Rumi is busy trying to bang his adult teacher, and then you also have the daughter. It's like the creators were trying NOT to cater to Muslims. That's fine...but I don't think the show is going to find an audience amongst non Muslims either. I'm a fan of the lamb. The pirating music bit was funny too. See more Katie M @Secularhellhound Jun 17 Finding comedy in trauma while not minimizing it. I was laughing so hard but also totally loving this unhinged family. Who wouldn’t be unhinged under the circumstances they’re living in? This show is Very smart and very weird. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 4 8 funny animated episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more Ricardo D May 8 Can't believe anyone would think this was actually a good idea. The trailer alone was one of the most cringe things I've ever seen. See more Read all reviews
