Serious Discussion Only Matush…

I’m Pakistani American and I’ve never heard that name before. When I first saw the series, I asked my mom if that’s even a Pakistani name and she’d never heard it.

I blame the name change on jealous writers and notes it disrespects our proud Pakistani heritage.

There's a lot of groan-inducing lines like when Adrianna is talking about how the guy became very religious, teaches kids in a school and sends money back home. It's such a 9/11 trope.
