Tyrant

[Feral Fox]

Anyone who has an interest in Middle Eastern life and politics (as I do) I can highly recommend Tyrant from the American channel FX.

superb drama and a revealing look at middle eastern countries.

It is actually a few years old now and it’s shocking how close it has come to the truth when you look at Syria now.

Adam Rayner would be the recognisable Yank, but most of the rest of the cast of natural Middle Eastern Actors/actresses.

 

If you like Middle Eastern politics then its a good comparison to Syria and it’s troubles.

It did loose its way by the third series in my opinion though. Tried too hard to be American, when it’s clear success was the wrangling of Islam Vs capitalism Vs a despot who was ‘born’ to rule.
