Hey fellow adventurers! In France, I focused on social media too but as of last year, only a little over 30% of people in Saudi Arabia used social media, and what they use is the same as what Americans use so I’ll skip that. Instead we’ll be talking about the four most popular TV shows (according to Google) in Saudi Arabia.
Tash ma Tash (No Big Deal)
Tash ma Tash is a satirical comedy that ran for 18 seasons from 1992-2011. It sounds like it’s similar to Saturday Night Live (SNL). It mostly pokes fun at society, with the episodes often dealing with sensitive topics such as social aspects, culture, terrorism, marital relations, and religion.
Omar
Omar is a historical drama miniseries based on the life of Omar ibn Al-Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam. The series faced a lot of controversy over the depictions of Omar, Abu Bakr, Uthman and Ali, as well as the four Rashidun Caliphs. They also received criticism from Muslims who believed that the prophet Muhammad shouldn’t be depicted. I’ll post the first episode below. If nothing else, Game of Thrones fans might be interested in the opening credits. I see some Game of Thrones influence there. I don’t know about you guys.
Khawater
I couldn’t find much about this show online but luckily I found some episodes on YouTube that were translated into English. It looks like it is a documentary style show that talks about important topics. The episode I watched talked about how the standards of beauty have been skewed to something that is unrealistic.
Takki
Takki is a drama web series about everyday Saudi life that was uploaded exclusively to YouTube since no cable show would run this series. Director Mohammad Maki said “We want to bring our culture to life and narrow the gap between our different backgrounds in Saudi Arabia and, at the same time, show our Saudi society to the world. To show women wearing hijab, praying, Saudi youth problems and issues and narrow the gap between different mindsets as well as give an image about our culture in a jovial way.” If you would like to watch it, I have posted the first video below.
Now if you excuse me, I’m going to binge watch Takki. No joke. I watched the first episode for this post and now I’m addicted. Thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
