Paranormal

Good solid start of a new promising new horror/mystery show.

The story reminds me of classic adventure stories like Indiana Jones and gives constant suspension and couriosity. You want to know what happens next and what the mystery is about. It does not invent something completly new, but delievers an exciting premise.

The main protagonist is the heart of the show and carries the main attention of the spectator. In comparison the other side characters are boring and lack of an impact and can't compete with the actor of Refaat Ismail.

Where The Haunting of Bly Manor fails and tries to copies his own formula, this show creates a satisfying setting.

I started watching the anticipated series "paranormal" today and actually it is not only another horror/drama series produced by netflix, but it is a very well done adaptation for the great egyptian author "ahmed khaled tawfik" paranormal stories, the acting was nice, the music was better than expected, the cinematography was interesting to watch, overall it was an enjoyable ride and i am surely waiting for season 2

This is a solid contribution to the burgeoning Netflix Horror-series drama, though it dwells more on exploring the actions of supernatural entities than the shock factor. I really appreciated the mixture of Egyptian monsters that haunt Euro-American popular culture, such as the mummy, with Western monsters seen through an Egyptian lens, like the succubus and Lucifer. The main character is extremely unlikeable and unsympathetic, a self-absorbed narcissistic professor, but somehow he solves all the problems while others who get caught up in the adventure get killed. Sometimes the plot and effects can seem low-grade, especially during the Libyan desert episode, but the 1960s Egyptian scenery is atmospheric and well done, and all the storylines came together nicely in a (for the most part) satisfying and sophisticated way at the end.

While not exactly a horror series, Paranormal is a very entertaining show with supernatural and dark elements. The structure is linear and the plot is simple but really effective. Overall a very good job!

Amr Salama the director did a great job by turning the novels into this great show this the best Arabic show i have ever seen
