Arab Maklum

I went in expecting something light like Bajaj Bajuri or something culturally sharp like Citizen Khan, but was met with a comedy that can't stop preaching. While many of the jokes land, each episode force-feeds a conservative, holier-than-thou message that feels more like a sermon than satire. The show glorifies rigid social norms reminiscent of traditional Arabic culture, offering very small to no room for self-critique. Even Citizen Khan, a similar Muslim-centered sitcom, had the self-awareness to laugh at itself and wasn't afraid to show its characters' flaws without glorifying them. This one? Not so much.
