Bassam "Barry" Al Fayeed is from the fictional war-torn country of Abbudin. He has been living in self-selected exile in Los Angeles for nearly 20 years. Barry, the younger son of Baladi's dictator, ends his exile to return with his American family to his homeland for his nephew's wedding. His arrival leads to a dramatic culture clash, as he reluctantly returns to the familial and national politics he once left.

Really enjoying this story. Only two episodes in and I was hooked on the first episode. The story grips you and you really want to know about the troubled father stuck between the two cultures that couldn't be further apart. Makes you wonder who the "Tyrant" will be.

Interesting show...

Seem to me that good son is gonna turn the tables on the president and take over.

Hopefully he will take the hot wife as well.

Well, the season finale has come and it was entertaining. This is a good show, with lots of beautiful Middle Eastern women, and I suppose there are some good looking men too for the ladies. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say it's a good watch.

And Season 2 has arrived!
