Hulu’s ‘Deli Boys’ Puts a Fresh Spin on Crime Comedy: TV Review
The Hulu comedy 'Deli Boys' puts a fresh spin on crime comedy with two Pakistani-American brothers who become the unwitting heirs to a drug ring.
Mir and Raj are a classic odd couple, the former an uptight MBA type engaged to a nice pharma rep and the latter a charismatic party boy who boasts an “orgy cabal” in lieu of a single partner. But when an FBI raid robs the brothers of their worldly possessions and reveals the existence of “Dark DarCo,” the internal name for the Dar empire’s true source of income, Mir and Raj partner up to outsmart the feds and ascend the criminal hierarchy. “Deli Boys” is mostly a farce that transposes “Godfather”-style tropes about immigrant communities who turn to extralegal means to gain a foothold in the States onto Pakistani Americans, who’ve historically lacked a corollary to the Italian Mafia or Jewish Murder, Inc.
