AlRawabi School for Girls (2021)
Surprised How Much I Liked It
When I first started watching this show, I didn't like how harsh and over the top the bullying was in the first episode. But I gave it a second try and I'm glad I did. The story is very cliche, but the cultural aspects of it were fascinating to learn. I happened to also be watching a true crime episode about honor-based crimes/abuse. So I knew how real the consequences can be, unfortunately. I think it was very brave of the creators to shed light on these issues for girls in that kind of culture. Making other cultures aware is also shining a light to all the families in society who partake in this belief system. Well done!

The Story vs The Acting
The actors and script are pretty terrible. However, I watched the whole series because the story itself is interesting. I like the idea of Blendeds and Mythics. I was interested to see where they go with it. Unfortunately, not that far. The script and acting leave a lot to be desired. Some of the choices for the actors were laughable as well. The comic store owner is awful, as is the main villain. And don't even get me started on the twins. I do like the main kids, though. I think they have potential. I don't know if we'll get another season, but the story was interesting enough to warrant it, if they can improve the writing.
