It's a wrap: Netflix's first Egyptian series 'Paranormal' has finished filming - Set in the 1960s, the series tells the story of haematologist Refaat Ismail, who tries to uncover the truth behind a series of supernatural events.

Netflix shows often have off putting names. Schitt's Creek (forced pun), Dear White People (weirdly inflammatory) I Am Not OK With This (sounds Tumblr: the Series) and iZombie/iBoy (literally naming 2 shows to specifically pander to Apple fans wtf). I hear both of those shows are good but I can't bring myself to accept that I might enjoy a show with a name like that.

Money Heist is definitely another one. It's a heist...for money. You know, a money heist. A heist where we go get the money. As opposed to a normal heist. IDK It just sounds so enormously stupid. Also I think there were 2 or 3 separate two-word titles with "Black" as a first word that came out shortly after Black Mirror aired, and that felt a little cheap.

Shit, I watch too much tv if I have this many examples of things I haven't watched based on a name.
