CAIRO - 7 November 2020: On November 5, the first Netflix Arabic Original series from Egypt “ Paranormal” was released.
The series is based on the best selling thriller novel series with the same name “Paranormal” by the late great Ahmed Khaled Tawfik.
The series tackles Dr. Refaat, a cynical Hematologist with a dark sense of humor, who goes through a “journey of doubt” as his world is turned upside down after his lifelong scientific convictions are questioned.
The plot commences in 1969, as Refaat Ismail enters his 40s, and begins to experience a series of paranormal activities.
Throughout the season, Refaat is accompanied by his university colleague, Maggie, as they enter the paranormal world and try to save their loved ones from the immense danger that surrounds them.
In most cases, any series takes from 7 to 10 episodes to start grabbing people attention and got attached to, but Egyptian series “ Paranormal” managed to destroy this theory and achieved huge success from the first episode.
Is it because of the immortal glamour of our late mentor Ahmed Khaled Tawfik who used to draw magical worlds and takes us to them, the brilliance and charisma of Ahmed Amin , the genuineness of the Amr Salama who was the maestro of this masterpiece or all of the previous?
The comedian Ahmed Amin who makes us laugh from the bottom of our hearts managed to change his skin completely and answered the question asked by millions which is how Refaat Ismail looks like? He brought our heartthrob Refaat Ismail to life with his unique performance.
