Tyrant

Season One-Three

This is an older TV show and only has three seasons on Hulu. It’s about an American family who is visiting the Middle East but because of Barry, they end up staying longer than expected.

Far from reality but it may keep your attention. Barry has run from the Middle East and his family at age 16 and goes to live in America. The show starts out with him married and has two children. Barry is from the Middle East and is the son of a dictator. He takes his family there after 20 years for his nephew’s wedding.

Barry’s family does not know anything about his first family and are blown away at how rich he is. Barry wants no part of the life there; but is forced to stay after his father dies. Barry’s brother, Jamal becomes the President of the county and is far from a nice man. Barry stays in the country to calm Jamal’s temperament and make him more likeable for the public. The attempt turns out to be a waste of time for Barry who gets himself in trouble.

Follow the lives of the California family trying to fit in to the Middle Eastern life as best they can. They keep forgetting they are not in America anymore. Also, you follow the lives inside the palace and of the locals trying to stay alive. It will sure keep you guessing. Another quick watch but it will take you longer than a weekend to watch.
