Kings (2009)

exceptional

[10/10 · 29 March 2009]

i have seen this show after I saw an interview of the star on the daily show with john steward. this show has so many dimensions.different characters has shown depth and the attention to details is impeccable. the acting of the main character Christopher Egan brings both the emotional side of a war veteran who rose in the ranks unexpectedly when he does a heroic act.Ian McShane who plays a complex king who plays with many interests but has the good of his people at his heart all the time.

the subliminal messages in the show are both subtle and clear.the director has a way of making you hold your breath at every moment of the show.the writing of this show gives you a feel of the real inner workings of a made up kingdom.

though i have only seen three episodes of this show,i will keep watching this show,it is one of the rare shows that had me hooked from the start.lets hope NBC doesn't turn this into a mess like most of their good shows.

Little Mosque on the Prairie (2007–2012)

quite good

[9/10 · 13 January 2007]

as a Muslim i was skeptical about this show,and i thought it might be some another sick attempt to belittle the religion,but i was astonished that this show was quite representative to many of the sectors of the Muslim community,you find conservatives that want to move back to the stone age and you find forward thinkers that want the religion to be up to date. another thing liked is the prejudice regarding muslims in different areas as in the airport with the imam,or that man who reported the mosque to the anti-terrorism unit,which is what sometimes i get when i reveal i am a Muslim. all in all a thumbs up for the show and i hope that the other episodes keep the good light.and Muslim community CAN and DOES integrate with all societies.
