We Are Lady Parts, Seasons 1-2: A Loud, Fresh, Feminist Punk Comedy


If you're looking for something bold, brilliantly funny and unapologetically loud, Peacock's We Are Lady Parts deserves a spot on your watchlist. Here's my thoughts on the series. 



It took me way too long to discover We Are Lady Parts, but now that I have, I can't believe I missed out on this gem. Streaming on Peacock, this British comedy is a loud, funny, and heartfelt series about an all-female Muslim punk band navigating friendship, faith, and fame in London's underground music scene.

Created by Nida Manzoor, the show introduced us to an eclectic group of women, from a PhD student to a halal butcher, who unite to make music and break boundaries. The writing is sharp, the humor is specific, and the performances are outstanding. Anjana Vasan shines as the awkward but lovable Amnina, while Sarah Sameela Impey and Luice Shorthouse (as the niqab-wearing band manager Momtaz) absolutely steal the screen. 

Over the short but powerful seasons (just 12 episodes total), the series packs genuine laughs, clever musical performances, and emotionally resonant moments that explore identity, sisterhood, and rebellion with nuances and authenticity. It's a celebration of difference, one with confidence and plenty of volume.

Overall, I give the first two seasons 91/0. We Are Lady Parts is an energetic, original series that deserves a spot on your watchlist.
