I always look forward to Ramadan each year, not because I am religious, but because it means new TV programs and series (مسلسلات) on the Arabic channels. Ramadan starts on July 19th in 2012 and looking at MBC's website they have about 8 new shows:
عمر - MSA. This show looks really good from the preview. The production quality is really high (the preview says it's the "biggest Arab production") and stylistically it reminds me of 300, Gladiator, or Spartacus. There's a pretty big outcry in the Arab world about this show though. A lot of people don't want it to be broadcast because it is about one of Islam's main personalities, 'Umar bin al-Khattab. I'm hoping the show's quality lives up to the preview.
