Married twenty three years to a Lebanese wife, we do our utmost to make contact with her ME culture though friends, food and favorite restaurants, and now Netflix. Some ME movies are boring dramas with little action to draw out the story line but as a Canadian born citizen, we've watched Al-Hayba, Tango and now Children of Adam to our elation. The latter, in my view, is more entertaining with plots, and action fused with humor than most movies from that region. The leading male and female characters are great including and eye candy beautiful actresses and handsome guys. I am reminded of Beirut in their backdrops as I saw it two times, once to marry my beautiful, trilingual and educated wife, and later, a second trip with our only offspring. It is good that some Arabic movies now have English subtitles, to their immeasurable credit and some link stories to Canada as many Lebanese relocated here to make a new life with links to back home. Children of Adam is well written with some predictable plots, but in my biased view it is better than others herein. I've painfully watched Al-Habya 3x and Tango 2x to spend quality time with my spouse in support of her culture, homeland and upbringing. Hope I don't have to sit through another lengthy series to repeat again but it is still worthy of high praises. Thanks guys...
