This Other Thing

2020 · 1 season

A quiet, thoughtful anthology that drifts through separate love stories, each leaving a gentle ache of longing and missed chances.

Overview: An Arab anthology drama unfolding across six cities — Beirut, Cairo, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, and El Gouna — weaving together separate stories about love in its many forms: right person, wrong time; wrong person, right time; love lost, love deferred. Featuring a stellar pan-Arab cast, each episode is a self-contained meditation on modern relationships and longing.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, loneliness, identity, family
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
