The show has its dramatic moments, with others darkly comedic and some just plain unsettling. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The miniseries takes us back to the 1980s, when Marty Markowitz (Will Ferrell) first meets <\/strong><strong>Dr. Isaac \u201cIke\u201d Herchkopf (Paul Rudd). <\/strong>Marty, dealing with a range of personal and professional struggles, speaks to the charismatic and overbearing Ike, who quickly crosses professional boundaries and weaves himself into Marty\u2019s life. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Both actors\u2019 strong performances anchor the show.<\/strong> Marty is painfully awkward while Ike is charming and narcissistic. Their chemistry creates a dynamic that is fascinating \u2014 and somewhat uncomfortable \u2014 to watch. Marty\u2019s protective sister Phyllis Shapiro (Kathryn Hahn) also brings an element of sharp wit into the episodes. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As the series progresses, the power imbalance between Marty and Ike grows toxic. <\/strong>We learn about Ike\u2019s own troubled past, which causes him to manipulate Marty while clothing his manipulation as care. Despite the frequent moments of humor, the show continuously reminds viewers of the darker themes at play. <\/p>\n<p><strong>WHERE TO WATCH- <\/strong>You can watch the series on <a target=\"_blank\"

Homegrown publishers and distributors are also gaining ground, with Amman-born <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abjjad.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Abjjad<\/a> offering over 28k titles for a subscription fee, Dubai-based <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rufoof.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Rufoof<\/a> offering over 25k Arabic titles for a subscription fee, and Beirut-based <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neelwafurat.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Neelwafurat<\/a> offering over 15k e-books that can be read through the iKitab app. Digital versions of English-language books also offer readers and distributors alike cheaper access to expensive-to-import titles from abroad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite e-books\u2019 growing popularity, physical books continue to dominate the market \u2014 <\/strong><strong>especially in the MENA region.<\/strong> While e-books made up about 30% of book sales globally in 2023, e-book sales in the Arab world garnered only around 10% \u2014 a starkly lower figure. While the appeal of physical books is certainly tied to our cultural attachments to written texts, publishers in the Arab world also lack a distribution infrastructure and regulatory environment conducive to publishing e-books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For one, selling books digitally is tough in economies where cash-on-delivery is the <\/strong><strong>preferred payment choice<\/strong>, Rufoof founder Shadi Al Hassan told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/arablit.org\/2017\/03\/18\/what-is-the-breakthrough-moment-for-arabic-digital-publishing\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Arab Lit Quarterly<\/a>. Some companies have attempted to address this problem by finding government or other sponsors that allow them to provide books to readers with no charge, or by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/publishingperspectives.com\/2015\/06\/ebookselling-innovation-in-the-arab-world\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">collecting sums of cash<\/a> from peoples\u2019 homes and converting it into digital store credits that can be used to purchase e-books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Piracy is also a major concern<\/strong>, with publishers pointing out that digitizing books offers more opportunities for people to copy and transmit books \u2014 leading to significantly lower return on investment for digitally produced titles. \u201cMost publishers shy away from ebooks as they fear the duplication of content. While this is a worldwide issue, regulations are yet to be in place within Arabic online publishing,\u201d Rufoof executive Doha Alrefae told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/arab-ebook-market-continues-to-grow\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">TechX<\/a>. While measures like watermarking could help stem piracy concerns, a wider cultural shift in how people think about e-books is also needed for the industry to take off. \u201cFor digital content, unfortunately many take it for granted that it should be free,\u201d Al Hassan notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For our environmentally minded friends, it's also not clear which medium wins out on the sustainability front. <\/strong>While e-books might seem to be the more environmentally friendly option, it\u2019s not clear that they\u2019re the greener alternative. The production of an e-reader has a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theecoguide.org\/books-vs-ebooks-protect-environment-simple-decision?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">carbon footprint<\/a> of 168 kg of CO2 \u2014 compared to a single print book\u2019s average carbon footprint of 7.5 kg of CO2. Moreover, e-readers require <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/paper-book-or-e-reader-which-is-better-for-the-planet\/a-68314697\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">significant amounts of rare minerals and water<\/a> to be produced, alongside continued electricity to keep them charged \u2014 raising their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At the end of the day, print books still win our hearts.<\/strong> From one reader to another, the smell of a book\u2019s pages and its weight in our hands will always be a sensory experience no screen can replace. Physical books are better for focus, don\u2019t need charging, and remain popular for fiction and children\u2019s stories. While e-books are making their impact, our bet is that print is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n
