Watching "Mohanad and Noor" was a social event. Everybody watched it.
Yeah, streets get almost empty at the time it's showing.
I did watch it partially tbh, I couldn't ignore the hype, but it seriously got redundant after the 3rd time they had an argument with each other. The whole series is preparation for the next time they argue and get mad at each other.
My grandma watched it every time it is showing on TV including the reruns on different TV channels. Yet she can't quite remember the plot when you ask her.
"In every time and culture there are pressures to conform to the prevailing prejudices. But there are also, in every place and epoch, those who value the truth; who record the evidence faithfully. Future generations are in their debt." -Carl Sagan
