The Restaurateur Paik

"As a Moroccan viewer, I'm deeply disappointed by how The Genius Paik portrayed Morocco. You showed only poverty and chaos, ignoring the beauty, culture, and warmth of our people. It felt like you used my country just to boost your show's drama. That's not fair, and I can't support it." You used my country as a dramatic backdrop for your show, not as a place with dignity, beauty, and depth. Morocco is more than what you showed. It is a nation full of diverse cultures, kind people, rich cuisine, and vibrant modern life. But none of that was reflected. Instead, you exploited the most underprivileged parts of our society to highlight your own challenges, for entertainment.

I cannot forgive this biased portrayal. You used the image of Morocco only for the benefit of your content. That's not storytelling - that's exploitation.

We are not here to be your "challenge." We are a people with pride, with warmth, and with a story of our own. And your cameras failed to see that.

Despite my deep affection for the show, the editing has significantly detracted from my overall enjoyment. Following each dialogue, there's a relentless onslaught of montages or flashbacks, and I genuinely mean after every dialogue. Take episode 7, for instance, where the street's bustling montage is replayed about 7-8 times. The excessive use of repetitive flashbacks and montages is becoming a major hindrance. It's high time to put a halt to this; I yearn to experience more of the original content without these constant interruptions. In doing so, the show can reclaim its narrative rhythm and deliver a more immersive viewing experience. A more judicious approach to editing would undoubtedly enhance the storytelling and keep viewers more engaged. Besides this, I really love the show and the cast.
