AlRawabi School for Girls Trailer.

AlRawabi School for Girls is a Jordanian Netflix original that can be watched subtitled in English. Bullying is a Universal most teenagers experience at school and that makes this show universally easy to resonate with. This show will also make you learn about Jordanian culture. People have this biased perception of the middle east because of what they see in the news. AlRawabi School for Girls shows a Jordanian girl doesn’t have much difference from an American girl. Teenagers in school are mostly the same regardless of their culture and religion. The series is set in an exclusive school for girls so most of the cast are women and girls.

Foreign Netflix originals had been my window to the culture of different countries and this made give a hint a bit of Jordanian culture. People assume all women in the middle east wear Burka and Hijab but this shows Jordanian women have a choice. Jordan is also one of the middle eastern countries where Christians and Muslims live peacefully together.

The acting won’t win awards but it is understandable since Jordan doesn’t have a big entertainment industry but it is passable enough for me to watch. I watch the show for the plot. It centers around a girl named Mariam. (Andria Tayeh). Mariam got bullied by a group of girls who rules the AlRawabi School for Girls with an iron fist. She wanted to end the bullying so she will try to unite all the outcasts of the school to take down the mean girls. Most of us experience bullying in our teens and wished the bullies got their comeuppance. Revenge is a fantasy most of us never got and seeing bullies falling from grace made the show entertaining to watch. AlRawabi School for Girls is already available on Netflix with English Subtitles.
