TORAB EL MAS
Taha is a medical representative at a pharmaceutical company who’s living an extremely boring life. Taha is talented when it comes to words, and a professional seller who knows how to attract a lot of customers to buy the company’s products. At home, he is living with his disabled father. When a mysterious murder occurs, Taha’s world turned upside down, as his curiosity dragged him to reveal many secrets that brought him into a brand new world that is crime and corruption oriented. For those who’ve been reading Mourad’s novels, we all know how good the story of Torab El Mas is! Imagine such great story directed by the brilliant Marwan Hamed and featuring an awesome cast.

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. “F**k positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
SERIES
THE RAIN
The Rain may be Netflix’s first Danish original series, but its premise will look somewhat familiar to anyone who watches The Walking Dead. No, The Rain does not contain any zombies. But within the first ten minutes, it becomes obvious that it will be another post-apocalyptic drama about a virus that devastates humanity, leaving precious few people behind to figure out how to scrap their way toward continued survival. If you’re into that sort of thing, it will grab your attention right away and, based on the initial three episodes made available to critics — most likely hold on to it. But if you’re at all fatigued of dramas about the demise of humanity, you may find it hard to soldier through, especially if you try to swallow all eight episodes in a sitting or two.
