Description
Tiger Aspect Productions for BBC Three & BBC One
Mobeen Deen (Guz Khan) is a single 28-year-old British Muslim trying to leave behind a life of crime in Birmingham after rediscovering his faith. Following his parents sudden and mysterious return to Pakistan, Mobeen must take full responsibility for not only himself, but his hormonal and often troublesome teenage sister Aks (Dùaa Karim).
Attempting to help him navigate his new straight edge lifestyle are his clownish best friends Nate (Tolu Ogunmefun) and Eight (Tez Ilyas).
Between dodging a policeman who is convinced he is a terrorist, trying to find a wife and confronting the leader of a far-right hate group it is surprising Mobeen still has time to braid his sister’s hair and tactically prevent her from getting involved with the local criminals.
Man Like Mobeen is not only a comical representation of the controversies faced by British Muslims, but a story about growing up and friendship during the times you value it most.
