Al Hayba

I can hardly wait to see season 2. Love Taim Hassan.

It's so confusing. Where can I watch season 2?! I've been looking everywhere.

I started watching Al Hayba by a coincidence while randomly searching the series on Netflix. We are only hearing the conflict between Lebanon and Israele. In the series, there is a side effect of Syrian War on narco and a bullet traffic. As a Turkish watcher, I really like listening Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation and the band of Beirut. So that makes me wonder about the mysterious Lebanon lifestyle. Btw, there are so many same words in Turkish. That sounds we had grabbed so many words from Arabic. Also Beirut looks very similiar to my city (Izmir) Hope we will see the second season on Netflix soon.

I'm not an Arab nor a Muslim but I found Al Hayba one of the best programme I have ever seen. I started watching it randomly and simply couldn't stop. I have seen all the seasons so far. The actors are amazing and it gives perfect insight of the Arab world. Although the story is fictional it says a lot of some unspoken reality. I highly recommend it to everyone, you certainly won't regret.

As a Lebanese American I thoroughly liked Al Hayba. The subtitles were not bad. Often there is difference between subtitles and what is actually being said. One of the other users on here complained about the many Mercedes and beautiful homes. As a Lebanese American I can confirm that there are many Mercedes cars and trucks in Lebanon (it's cheaper to import cars from Germany than from the US). And the style of homes is of course going to differ in the Eastern Mediterranean than in the States, so that is not escapism (to the person that described it as escapism). Overall the plot line was good, and reflects some historical reality. I recommend this show for non-Arabs, while keeping in mind that Lebanon is a Mediterranean Middle Eastern country. Completely different landscape, economy, etc.
