Paranormal (2020)
Surprisingly Amazing
I've been waiting a lot for the release of the first Egyptian Netflix original title. Although, I didn't have high expectations for it, but it surprised me. First of all, I didn't read the novel, but after watching the series I will definitely. The best thing in that series in my opinion is the Cinematography, Ahmed Beshary shows his awesome skills as one of the best cinematographers now in Egypt, along with Amr Salama, who is not only the great director of the series but he had also wrote part of the screenplay. Ahmed Amin was the one thing surprised me most, this role was a great challenge for him and he did above a great job. When I first knew that Ahmed Amin will be doing the leading role I was worried honestly, he is a great comedian but I didn't picture him in a horror series, I think he proved me wrong. The first episode was a great start and introduced the characters and their background well. The second episode was better Actually. The third episode was terrible honestly, most of what I didn't like about it was the unrealistic CGI, also they said it's a mythical monster and then they find a gorilla in the desert and I don't know if gorillas even live in the desert. The forth episode wasn't bad and it also reflected some background relationships between the characters. The fifth episode was completely perfect, the best in the series, that was the point I was waiting for. The last episode was awesome and had a great ending. I can't wait for the next season with more stories from Paranormal. I know a lot of people are really exaggerating and I don't accept overrating specially from people who HAVENT SEEN THE SHOW, I've seen links on Facebook encouraging people to give "the first Egyptian show on Netflix" 10/10. Despite that, I really liked it and I think it deserves an 8, I'm not exaggerating that's my opinion you can disagree with me. I just want people who think that it's not so good to keep in mind that nothing is flawless and it's definitely a leap in the Egyptian movie/tv show industry (these days).
