This past Ramadan, I've discovered Egyptian TV show : El Harsha El Sab'a on MBC's Shahid, and I've been obsessing about it since.

Growing up, I've had a love/hate relationship with Arab TV as I found it irrelevant to my life at the time, so I disconnected completely from it for years. In this episode, I dig deep into my personal thoughts on the evolution of the Arab TV scene and how I related to it, as well as, how much I've loved and enjoyed El Harsha El Sab'a series which motivated me to rediscover Arab cinema.
