The Kuwait-based Netflix series ‘The Exchange‘ launches today, and after watching two episodes the other night at the show’s premiere, I can’t wait to binge-watch the rest of the season.
‘The Exchange’ is based in Kuwait in the 80s and is inspired by true events. It follows two women who decide to work at the stock exchange, an industry dominated by men at that time. I found the first two episodes very entertaining, and I already have favorite characters and storylines that I’m invested in. It’s that good of a show, and for people like me who grew up in Kuwait in the 80s, it’s super nostalgic.
The series premiers today at 11AM on Netflix and will be available to watch in 190 countries. The show is in Arabic but has English subtitles.
Update: The show is now streaming on Netflix, the whole first season so we can binge-watch it.

Amazing series. Super entertaining. Recommend to 80s lovers.
Is there going to be a second season? And if yes, when?
the first season just came out a few hours ago …
Yeah I checked out once they mentioned “ThE PaTrIaRcHy”.
What else do expect in a Netflix show? The re-education camps for a digital generation.
Here’s a concept; if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. If you’re a strong follower of your beliefs guess what you won’t turn gay/athiest/trans/feminist neither will your children.
accepting others… what a concept!!
Please explain why that bothers you
Aaaah. I was hoping this would be the Souk Manakh story
That would be fun TBH
Even I watched 2 episodes, super entertaining. Rawan Mahdi and Mona Hussain were so good in it. and for those who want to learn and understand Kuwaiti Arabic Dialect. I think this might help
Am I the only person to stop watching after the second episode?
Yeah, its not entertaining and just too unrealistic for how Kuwait. Its nothing like how people used to be in the 80’s and this is just another way of adding Kuwait to the woke stuff.
Would not recommend to anyone.
How was this show woke?? HOW?!?! Because it shows how women were treated in the workplace?? Because this show features women at all??? My god, people like you are so unbelievably insufferable! 🙄
Mrs. Geller, why you cry?
Was any of the filming shot in Kuwait?
All of it was shot in kuwait
I thought the show was interesting from the first 2 eps, but it kinda dips after ep 3, but it all ends rather simply. There’s not much intrigue going on, so the overall plot doesn’t make one too invested. The acting was great from everyone involved, and I liked the added nostalgia, but they could’ve done more. Biggest missed opportunity was that they didn’t get to film in Al Muthana, but somehow they filmed in Nugra Mall? The place already went through renovations and it shows.
