As the weekend edges closer, Lebanese movie-lovers and TV binge-watchers race to prepare their next to-watch list to drift away into the amazing world that is the show industry.

Rowan Atkinson’s third iteration of the hilarious spy-genre parody is just as whimsical and amusing as the previous two and has spiked in popularity in Lebanon when it hit Netflix recently.
