Old Enough is the cutest (and not vapid) reality TV show you’ll ever watch: The short-format Japanese show sees parents send their children on tasks to complete while a film crew follows the child on their solo mission to see how well they’ll complete it. The first episode features a young boy — who is two years and nine months old — walking 1 km to the supermarket to get things for his mom. There is something distinctly comedic about watching young children try and navigate a world designed for adults and sometimes they succeed with flying colors while other times they go off on a tangent and forget the task at hand. Episodes are around 10 minutes or less, making it easy viewing for when you’re eating or when you just have 10 minutes to burn.

Fathy Afifi’s latest work will be displayed in an exhibition titled Al Rehla at Picasso Art Gallery starting today. Afifi’s paintings capture the movement of the masses in Cairo whether it's through walking on the busy streets or riding public transport. He tries to display the reality of Egyptian streets as opposed to romanticizing it, painting the gritty details and blank faces of those lost in their own heads. The exhibit will run until 25 May.

A first-person account of a life spent solving crimes: In his new book, Unmasked, Paul Holes recalls his career as a detective who solved high-profile cases such as the Golden State Killer (who murdered 13 people, among his other crimes). The forensic detective goes into detail about what to look for in cold cases and the psychology behind the crimes through his first-person perspective. Holes also delves into his experience in the field and how it felt to encounter these harsh realities every day. However, the book retains a feel of compassion and faith in humanity that balances the brutality of the cases he solved.
