As I said earlier after I watched the second episode: THIS IS NOT PARANORMAL.
They should've called it something else, and they shouldn't have mentioned that it is based on or inspired by the book series that is written by Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfik “May Allah have mercy on him”, because it is NOT, It is something entirely different.
And I'm not talking about the ugly different narratives of perfect stories or the hideous portrayals of beloved characters, I'm talking about the beliefs of Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfik and the essence of his writings.
Dr. Refaat Ismail is standing on a chair, tying a rope around his neck, and about to commit suicide?!! REALLY??!!!! Did the creators of this show even read one novel of the +80 book series?!! Did they even read any of Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfik's other book series like Fantasia, Safari, or any novel he wrote?
Dr. Refaat Ismail wouldn't even consider committing suicide, the thought would never even cross his mind!
To tell you the truth; when I heard about this project and that they will adapt Metaphysics by Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfik into a TV series, I wasn't optimistic; for so many reasons I don't have the time to mention them now, but even then I couldn't imagine what a mess they will be able to turn this show into.
The only thing that is fairly acceptable about this show is the portrayal of Dr. Refaat Ismail's character by Ahmed Amin, he did a decent job, at least for the physical appearance, and that is it.
If you haven't read the novels you might enjoy this show, if you don't mind the terrible decisions taken by the characters and bad CGI.
But if you have read the novels; Please be warned, don't watch this awful mess of a show, and if you must watch it, please push away any thought about the book series out of your mind, because if you didn't, you will be slapping your forehead every 3 minutes, and that will be a preliminary event before you start banging your head against the wall.
