Hawanem Garden City fans should definitely check out its knock off Sittat Bayt El Maadi. The show follows three couples who lived in the same house across different times: Mariam (played by Kinda Aloush) in the sixties, Sharihan (Injy El Mokkaddem) in the eighties, and Radwa (Tara Emad) who represents the modern-day character. Based on the US series Why Women Kill, the three women all have marriage problems and try to fix them in different ways — but ultimately all three storylines end up with a murder (or two). The Egyptian version of the show is more toned down, but still displays scandalous events. We really enjoyed the acting and the intro scenes before the show gets underway. It’s a great show to binge watch this weekend if you’re feeling the couch potato bug.

???? EARS TO THE GROUND-

Maz Jobrani decides to be the class clown in his new educational podcast: The comedian — known for being part of the Axis of Evil comedy troupe — has launched a podcast called Back to School with Maz Jobrani. The show was inspired by Maz’s 10 year old son who asked him a question he didn’t have an answer for. Instead of turning to Google, he pulled in two of his friends, Tehran and Kaitlan, to together co-host a podcast that brings on experts from all walks of life. It’s a hard combination to implement: both comedy and important knowledge, but the professors are all lively and know how to enjoy a joke from Maz and his co-hosts while still communicating ideas. The episodes include one on the supply chain crisis, Western media’s negative depiction of Muslims, and how to become a pro wrestler.
