    Great surprise from an Arabic show

    Will I was surprised I didn't expect that I can watch a foreign tv show and make me feel amazed with how excellent everything was first from acting - cinematography - score . maybe their is poor CGI used in the third episode but It is not a big issue for me. Personally my favorite episode is the last episode. I am waiting season 2 .

    A pleasant surprise

    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

    Pleasant

    When i decided to watch this series i did not know what i'm gonna see,but from the first episode i found myself into it and that's for multiple reasons: -the decors and the setting of thoses periods of times in the arabian countries they really did a great job there. -also,the egyptian and libyan arabic they have done it perfectly it doesn't feel like they translated it from english to arabic. -Samma Ibrahim ''Raeefa Ismail'' all i can say about him is that he's done a remarkble effort in playing his character..as well as the othere characters except some of the kids they didn't convince me with there acting.. even though the series still has cons like -a lot of questions are not answered -the CGI they used was so bad..i mean really bad,and they tried to hide it with the darkness in the scene and the camera movment but they didn't succeed in that one,plus,a lot of events rely on CGI. also,the relationship between Raeefa and megie was so cold and cringy and other things that i don't wanna say for the sake of not spoiling any thing. still this does not diminish the value of ''Paranormal''. if you love horror, mysteries and suspense like me..you'll definitely love this series.

    • Quotes

      Refaat Ismail: I will never stop loving you, Maggie. Until the stars fall from the sky, until the world ends. until planets collide and suns wither. Until the moon is extinguished and all seas and rivers dry up. Until I become senile and my memory is eroded. Until my tongue is no longer capable of uttering your name. Until my heart beats for the last time, only then I may stop, I may stop loving you.
