Would you survive university now?

? After sitting out last Ramadan, Donia Samir Ghanem is back with her signature theatrical charm. Aysha El Dor follows Aysha (Donia Samir Ghanem), a single mother of two, juggling the responsibilities of motherhood, her career, and her family obligations. A series of whacky situations that sees Aysha pretend to be a university student. The show lets Ghanem do what she does best — comedically play a sensible person in an insensible situation… who occasionally bursts into song to flex her musical chops.

The mixup kicks off when Aysha’s niece, Fatima, asks her to run a university errand for her. Aysha, a dutiful aunt, heads to the university to ask the professor for lenience regarding Fatima’s attendance. Overworked and overly stressed, Aysha accidentally dozes off waiting for the professor, waking up in a full lecture hall. To save her niece’s academic career, Aysha pretends to be Fatima as the situation quickly gets away from her.

The appeal of the show is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Between the nostalgic, old-school comedic style of the show and Aysha struggling to pass as a university student thanks to the difference in culture between generations, this is a fun lighthearted watch that is perfect for all ages. While certain moments, such as a fight scene between moms attending their childrens’ play, might leave you rolling your eyes at the absurdity, the show quickly sweeps you past any frustrations with more astute observations about parenting in this day and age.
