- Netflix remade the Italian Perfetti Sconosciuti for the Arab market, but oh no: there's a homosexual character, women's underwear is showed and sex is discussed;
- Some people are screaming their heads off about this one film undermining Real Egyptian Family Values;
- Authorities can't do more than boycott because the film was shot in Lebanon;
- No comment from Netflix (yet).
