Season 1
2 x 2
This Syrian social comedy follows Amjad, a wealthy businessman accustomed to a life of luxury, and Adnan, a working-class man struggling to support his family. Despite living in completely different worlds, the two encounter surprisingly similar problems involving marriage, family, work, and everyday life, though their circumstances and approaches couldn't be more different. Through two parallel storylines in each episode, the series humorously explores the contrast between wealth and financial hardship, using satire and relatable situations to show how people from opposite ends of the social ladder often share the same ambitions, frustrations, and personal struggles.
