Man Like Mobeen

Mobeen acts as the primary caregiver for his younger sister because their parents are absent. His attempts to give Aqsa a stable future repeatedly collide with his history as a drug dealer in Small Heath.

The series is rooted in Small Heath, an inner-city area of Birmingham. Its local shops, streets and Muslim community are integral to the story rather than a generic sitcom backdrop.

Eight, played by Tez Ilyas, and Nate, played by Tolu Ogunmefun, are Mobeen's closest friends. They also function as an unconventional extended family for Aqsa, although their judgment frequently creates new problems.

No, it mixes jokes about family and community with crime, prison and the consequences of Mobeen's past. The darker serialized plot becomes increasingly important after the show's 2017 debut on BBC Three.
