En busca de Ola

This series shows a side of Egyptian life which may or may not exist. If it does exist, it can only be relevant to, and enjoyed by the minority of the population with money, who are extremely wealthy. However, Egyptian cinema has always set itself up as the Hollywood of the Arab world, never real, always looking to appear westernized and separated from the reality in the country. While this may work for some of the countries in the Middle East e.g Lebanon, Israel, it does not work for all, especially those in which a western lifestyle does not match the "lived" reality in the country.

It is the comedic timing and acting skills of the lead actress, Hind Sabri, that carries the show. The series plays a lot like a weekly American Sitcom that is focused around modern family dynamics. While this series is funny at the start, they often have a finite lifetime so would be very unsure if a second season for this series would work.
