Al Hayba (2017)
As a Lebanese American
As a Lebanese American I thoroughly liked Al Hayba. The subtitles were not bad. Often there is difference between subtitles and what is actually being said. One of the other users on here complained about the many Mercedes and beautiful homes. As a Lebanese American I can confirm that there are many Mercedes cars and trucks in Lebanon (it's cheaper to import cars from Germany than from the US). And the style of homes is of course going to differ in the Eastern Mediterranean than in the States, so that is not escapism (to the person that described it as escapism). Overall the plot line was good, and reflects some historical reality. I recommend this show for non-Arabs, while keeping in mind that Lebanon is a Mediterranean Middle Eastern country. Completely different landscape, economy, etc.
