📺 ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Go on a time-bending journey with Khaled Nour and His Son Nour Khaled: The show begins with nuclear engineer Khaled Nour (Karim Mahmoud Abdelaziz), whose life changes when he, his wife Ghada (Donia Maher), and son Nour (Chico), are exposed to an explosion at the nuclear reactor site where he works, and their son survives — or so it seems.

This is where it gets weird. Decades later, Nour runs into his father, to whom the explosion was only seven years ago. Discovering that not only are his parents alive and his age, but that his younger self is still in the picture, Khaled Nour and Nour Khaled embark on a journey to find an explanation. The series is directed by Mohamed Amin (Film Thaqafi,Leilit Suqoot Baghdad).

The chemistry between Chico and Abdelaziz is off the charts. Nour’s carefree happy-go-lucky personality and Khaled’s cynicism and frustration makes a hilarious juxtaposition, eliciting easy laughs through situational comedy. Ghada’s vapid personality that leaves her dependent on those around her puts her and her small family through the wringer.

What we didn’t like: The series can be long-winded at times, overworking certain aspects over several episodes. Since the series is only 15 episodes long, we would have liked the show to cover more events instead of dragging them out. But the show is a lighthearted watch that provides the comedy we were served by Ashghal Shaqa during the first half of Ramadan.

WHERE TO WATCH IT- You can find Khaled Nour and His Son Nour Khaled on Shahid or catch the trailer (watch trailer, runtime: 1:02).
