Devil’s Advocate, Netflix’s third Kuwaiti Project (the other two being The Exchange and The Cage) was released this past weekend and is now available to stream on the platform. The 7 episode drama revolves around a football player accused of murdering his wife, and a determined defense lawyer who defies popular sentiment and takes on the case.
I haven’t watched the show yet but as of this post it’s rated pretty high on IMDB with a 7.7 rating and is currently ranked #1 in TV Shows Today on Netflix. The series in Arabic but has English subtitles.

With the SAG strike probably dragging till the start of next year, we’re probably going to see more local/regional shows in the coming months on streamers.
Praying for my friends in SAG. They need it. Corporate greed knows no bounds.
That aside, I’m really proud of Kuwait for producing quality shows like this.
Just heard the 99.7 radio jockey say the exact same words mentioned on the blog about this new release. Looks like someone is religiously following your writing !
So its ok for them to promote the word Devil but ban all other simple words ?
Just a means to inject western leftist ideology. I stopped watching after 5 minutes.
Just a Westophobe attributing anything they dislike to the scary spooky West. Stopped reading after a sentence. Still, I’ waiting for the “what about the children?!” comments next.
Sleek presentation with subtle, restrained performances. On balance, high technical production values. I enjoyed it. Trust it will find a market both within and outside Kuwait in cosmopolitan societies.
Entirely binge worthy!
It’s a beauty to watch. Compact within 7 episodes and it’s a wrap.
