Get your usual Mohamed Ramadan fix with Gaafar El Omda, which doesn’t pack lots of surprises, but gets the job done: The series opens up, as Ramadan’s series usually do, with great tragedy (kidnapped child, accidental killings, time in prison, and enemies galore, etc) as part of the package that comes with Gaafar, a rather fit 50-something real estate mogul living in El Sayeda Zeinab. He is still trying to find his missing son and is fighting off his enemies right, left, and center. Ramadan never fails to deliver his tried and true formula — fight scenes (don’t miss his flannel wearing barefooted fight scene where he doesn’t break a sweat or move a hair), sweet talking the women, and doling out justice on family members who have a tendency to betray him. Most importantly, the plot includes a secret of sorts that we can only uncover through the flashbacks that take him back to 2004 and transports us to 2023. If Ramadan’s Bollywood-esque antics are your thing, catch his series on Shahid.
