Arabic original
Created and starring the legendary Yasser Al Azmeh, Maraya ran for 20 seasons from 1982 to 2013 — making it one of the longest-running comedy series in Arab television history. Each episode presents standalone stories skewering the social, political and economic frustrations of everyday Arab life with sharp wit and biting satire. A mirror held up to an entire society, it entered homes across the Arab world for three decades and never stopped being relevant.
