ALRAWABI SCHOOL FOR GIRLS - SEASON ONE

Amazing show! Most teen dramas tackle the issue of bullying and its repercussions. However (within the Jordanian entertainment industry) not all highlight other issues that are prominent in their society, such as nepotism, sexual harassment, mental health, and the stigma that comes along with it.

GONE FOR GOOD - SEASON ONE

STREAM IT! Gone For Good has a solid mystery, good acting, and quality writing. It’s about as sturdy a show as Netflix’ other Coben adaptations.

ZERO - SEASON ONE


Zero is a fun superhero show that's not only grounded in real life, but explores a population that hasn't been represented in Italian shows to this point.

VIEWPOINT - SEASON ONE

It’s human nature that is under scrutiny in Viewpoint, I find myself asking the “who done what ’n’ why”, and of course it’s great cast including Clarke making the show much more compelling.

UNFORGOTTEN - SEASON FOUR


What really impressed me was the discipline in the writing. Every action, every plot development and revelation felt organic, emerging inevitably from character and circumstance, not laziness or expedience. You get a more measured look at people; one that's more balanced and more varied. Its bleakness is tempered by hope.

THE PACT - SEASON ONE


It might not be the most original crime thriller in the world and there are times where it can perhaps seem a little too soapy for its own good, but at the end of each of the first two episodes I was immediately compelled to watch the next.

KIM'S CONVENIENCE - SEASON ONE

The show fulfills a much-needed gap in storytelling: immigrant family life that delivers laugh-out-loud moments without trying to prove that we're all one big happy family.

PURE - SEASON ONE

Pure is hilarious, messy fun based on the memoir by Rose Cartwright. It deals in extremes, but it is for anyone who at one time or another hasn't felt in control of their brain, and has experienced the awful fear, demoralisation, despair and loneliness that comes with it.

INVISIBLE CITY - SEASON ONE

The reminds me of the TV show Grimm. It has very similar premise. A procedural drama with a supernatural twist. It's fantasy-mystery introduces teens to Brazilian folklore.

TINY PRETTY THINGS - SEASON ONE

There is nothing frigid about Tiny Pretty Things, and while it's sure to not be everyone's cup of tea, if you're into the genre of messy teen drama during boring COVID then this is one you can't miss. Even with all its terrible acting and cliches, it's not great television, but it is a fun ride and you know what you're getting.
