It was not easy for me to watch "Wednesday". I mean, the only reason I watched it is because I went to an event about the show, organized by Netflix and there was this huge book which visitors were writing things on. I wrote on it that I am going to watch just one episode then ended up watching the whole thing! It's hard to resist the magical and extremely charismatic character of "Wednesday Adams". I couldn't think of a better actor than Jenna to fulfill this role. I enjoyed the story developing, plot twists and crazy turnouts. Why was it difficult to watch you may ask? I hate horror, I never watch it. My friend said this is kids horror but it is still difficult for me to watch. I am already afraid to watch season 3 when it comes out but let's see what happens!
This is one of the prominent shows of its time that influenced many people in the Arab world. Especially because it talks about a period that is very sentimental for many Muslim people. The period of Al Andalus (The Muslim kingdom in Iberia) and more specifically the in-between phase of that period. When Al Andalus was split into 22 small kingdoms. What you will find most special in this series is the Arabic poetry, romance and superb acting by Taim Hasan who plays the role of "Al-Mu'tamid" the most influencel leader of this era which is referred to as "Mulouk Al-Tawa'ef" or more commonly "Taifas" which means kings of factions. I watched it in about two weeks but it really left an impact on me and taught me a lot of things about the history of this period.
Surprisingly enough, many facts mentioned did check out when I searched about them and the show stands to its historic accuracy promises, I would recommend it to anyone learning Arabic (for the superb telling of classical Arabic) or anyone trying to understand the history of Iberia. Also, I think that Christian figures in the show were portrayed fairly, "Alfonso VI" who was the prominent Christian king at that time was presented as a very politically skilled man and they didn't particularly focused on any negative qualities.
I like the show but I hope that we soon see new and high quality productions the speak of this era as an important part of Spanish history with fairness and justice to all entities.

I like the feminist and humanistic elements of this movie. The fantastic four are the champions that earth's citizens count on for saving the day. They are not just a crew of super heroes but rather a family that have to stick together and face a new unimaginable challenge. Get ready to see the first female silver surfer, Pedro Pascal in a leading role for a Marvel movie and a space God's eminent plan to destroy planet earth as we know it!
