Overall, this show was very funny. There was a nice mixtures of comedic actions performed by the kids and jokes/puns throughout the whole show. There was not a particular scene where an awkward comedic gesture was made, and since this is a comedy show, this is important. I watched this with multiple people, of different ages and preferences, and everyone would agree that they actually laughed multiple times throughout the show.

I found this show to be somewhat predictable at times, where I could guess a possible event to the resolution or a certain typical Egyptian-based stereotype depicted. This could be from the massive amount of TV shows and movies I have watched, but there were multiple obvious events, such as the parents figuring out that it was the kids all along, and so forth. However, there were also events that were totally out of the blue that I did not expect, like the family friend's death.

I did feel a bit of excitement while waiting for each episode to come out. In general, these type of shows come where one episode is released each day. Therefore, there were hooks and almost mini climax events that ended each episode. This did make me want to see all the episodes and keep up with the show, as these scenes were the most important/crucial to the storyline. However, if those ending clips were not there, I probably would've ended up skipping an episode or two.

This show was extremely good at bringing awareness to many issues of families, both Egyptian families and families worldwide. It discusses topics such as bullying, social media, mental health, teenage behavior, kidnapping, school systems and curriculums, acceptance of others, immigration, and other issues that are present in families today. There was multiple occurrences of each of the messages, and this was very pleasant. There were also more taboo subjects discussed with relevance.

I do feel that there are a lot of similar shows and movies. This show sort of reminded me of the movie This, Mine, and Ours, with a similar storyline. However, this show was very Egyptian, and the issues and points discussed definitely set this show apart from many others. The teenage and social media aspects do get discussed a lot in entertainment, but this show presented them in a different and more original, relaistic way than other shows and movies. Other topics that may have also been considered taboo were discussed. This makes this show different as well.

Overall, this is a very good TV show. It definitely put a smile on my face and made me more aware of certain current issues that I normally don't give much thought. The messages conveyed throughout the show are very crucial and relevant to families all around the world. I could relate to a lot of the scenes from instances between my own family and I. I would recommend this show to multiple people of all ages.
