Man Like Mobeen
TV Show · Comedy

Creator Guz Khan presents a comedic take on real life in inner-city Birmingham in this series centred on the funny and complex life of Mobeen, a man from Small Heath, as he tries to follow his Muslim faith, look out for his hopeless friends, and fulfil the responsibility of providing for his younger sister, Aqsa. Mobeen juggles all this while trying to escape his criminal reputation and murky past, acquired years ago due to some ill-advised drug dealing that he can't quite manage to put behind him.
