Calling All Docuseries Nerds: 'History of the Sitcom' is a Joyful Time-capsule
If your upbringing was anything like mine, where the TV acted as an additional parent- there are so many new stories and perspectives to explore.
Surah Buat Maisarah
# Surah The story follows a Malay girl, Maisarah or Sara (Syatila Melvin), who idolizes Western culture simply because she lived in America for several years. Feeling superior and more modern, Sara's behavior and manner of speaking often annoy those around her. Sara is forced to return to Malaysia because her father, Dato' Mustafa, dislikes her lifestyle there—her fondness for partying and socializing freely. Sara also needs to work at her father's company if she wants to earn money for shopping and to help Zalikha, her sister who has been working tirelessly managing the company during Sara's absence. Sara's crude and arrogant nature also irritates the employees at Indah Cipta, especially Nazim (Shukri Yahaya), a young architect at the company. Nazim is displeased with Sara's behavior and begins sending her Quranic verses as a warning.
