In Ramadan, we tend to binge-watch as many shows as we can. For some reason, we can’t just stick to two or three programmes—we watch up to four or more Ramadan shows. Because of the decreased number of shows that Egyptian entertainment has given us this season (and because everyone binge-watches everything), we can’t help but wonder about the Ramadan shows that absolutely no one watches. Are these shows boring, or are they just not as good as the trendier ones are?

 

You probably need a more solid reference now for context, right? Then, allow us to tell you all about the Egyptian Ramadan dramas that no one watches!

 

  • Pablo

We sadly had no idea this show was on until we did some research, but, yes, this show has been airing since Ramadan began! Hassan El Raddad’s Pablo is barely getting any recognition which makes us feel a little sad for the star. We haven’t seen him in a while, and when he finally stars in a show, alongside MAJOR stars like Sawsan Bad, Arwa Gouda, Moustafa Fahmy, and more, no one talks about it. Honestly, we’d give it a chance if we could and maybe you should too.

  • Dayman Amer

Mostafa Sha’ban gives us shows that leave us speechless. And we mean that literally, as his TV dramas tend to be very unpredictable. However, the only surprising thing he did this year was not making it to the top of Egypt’s collective consciousness with his show Dayman Amer. In this show, Sha’ban plays a teacher who works in a school full of delinquents, which makes us even more shocked that we haven’t heard about it yet. With a solid premise like that and the fact that buzz around Moustafa Sha’ban is always present, we’re rather concerned about the lack of conversation about Dayman Amer.

  • El Meshwar

It is rare not to get Mohamed Ramadan TV shows in Ramadan, as that has been a constant factor for years. But that is what makes El Meshwar’s case particularly odd. While it’s not exactly overlooked as it does have a small audience, it’s not as viral as Mohamed Ramadan shows tend to be. It’s also being lauded for its admirable cinematography and direction and the fact that Dina El Sherbiny is doing her best acting yet. However, it does miss that usual Mohamed Ramadan spark, which we’re still not used to.

  • El Loghz 

This TV show, specifically, is a “Loghz” for us too (pun intended, of course) because we haven’t seen a single trailer for it. At this point, we’re wondering if the showrunners are intent on keeping it a mystery by not having any viewers at all. Seriously though—is anyone watching this show? Sure, the actors in its cast haven’t been active in a while (and you may not recognise a lot of them unless you’re familiar with Mohamed Nagaty), which may have contributed to this lull, but the lack of knowledge about this show is just weird.

  • Rania Wa Sekeena

We have to say it; we just do: Ruby and Mai Omar sadly do not have the right chemistry for this role. Yes, we understand the story of the posh rich girl teaming up with the street-smart unrefined girl has been done many times in Egyptian productions, but something about Rania Wa Sekeena just doesn’t add up. It feels overdone, and we don’t understand the point, but we did expect more from these two stars together.
