Lebanese TV series are often the subject of much ridicule.

But hey, we’re just at the beginning of a new year which, according to all the inspirational quotes offered in the history of the internet, comes with a fresh, brand new start.

2. But hey, things are evolving, you know

Yes, that is her.


3. Lebanese series dramatically promote the creativity and imagination of Tweeps




Just Inspirational.

5. They are pioneers in breaking social stereotypes


English proverb: be not deceived with the first appearance of things, for show is not substance.

12. Or its Legally Blonde-type hit successor


I strongly recommend you watch this if you’re looking for a job.


13. And let’s not forget about this courageous country girl who found herself in the middle of a curious murder scene


You go girl!


14. And finally, this dramaturgically dramaturgical tale of complicatedness


Please tell me you remember the opening song.
