Man Like Mobeen is a British comedy-drama television series created by Guz Khan and Andy Milligan that premiered on BBC Three on 17 December 2017. Set in the Small Heath area of Birmingham, the series stars Khan as Mobeen, a former drug dealer who now tries to live a good life as a Muslim while raising his younger sister Aqsa in the absence of their parents and spending time with his friends Nate and Eight.[1] By portraying the experience of second generation immigrants, the series is an innovative "transcultural comedy"[2] - comically fusing West Midlands, working-class traditions with Pakistani-Muslim culture.[3]
