## Synopsis

Catalog (2025) is an Egyptian Arabic-language family dramedy miniseries created by Ayman Wattar and released on Netflix. Across eight episodes of roughly fifty-three minutes each, it follows Youssef (Mohamed Farag), a workaholic who has just been widowed and is suddenly responsible for his children with no idea how to manage them. His late wife's online tips become his unlikely roadmap, and each episode is built around a clumsy domestic attempt at parenting that tests his patience, his career, and his sense of himself. Reham Abdelghafour plays Amina, and the supporting cast includes Aly El-Bialy, Retal Abdelaziz, Tara Emad, Khaled Kamal, Ahmed Essam, Sedky Sakhr, Donia Sami and Samah Anwar, who orbit the household and its daily chaos. The tone is warm and wry, with comedy grounded in ordinary errands and school runs, while grief sits quietly beneath the jokes. Set in contemporary Cairo, it treats family life with an intimate, human scale. Fans of This Is Us, Parenthood and Speechless will find resonance in its blend of humor and loss, and the self-contained single season makes it an easy, affecting watch.
