Maraya
Plot
Created and starring the legendary Yasser Al Azmeh, Maraya ran for 20 seasons from 1982 to 2013 - making it one of the longest-running comedy series in Arab television history.

A mirror held up to an entire society, it entered homes across the Arab world for three decades and never stopped being relevant.

How the Pulse Score works
For series, Pulse starts from the IMDb rating shrunk by vote count, then applies FORMAT CALIBRATION. Series score systematically higher than films on IMDb, so using the raw number would unfairly push a show like Maraya to the top of a film catalogue. Calibration maps the series distribution onto the film one; meaning 68 is COMPARABLE to a film with the same Pulse.
One more difference from films: Letterboxd does not track series, so series Pulse derives from a single source (IMDb) rather than two.
