    Tyrant is an American drama television series created by Israeli director, screenwriter, and writer Gideon Raff and developed by Howard Gordon and Craig Wright. A 10-episode first season has been ordered by the American cable network FX. The series premiered on June 24, 2014. The pilot episode was written by Raff and directed by David Yates.

    Bassam "Barry" Al Fayeed is from the fictional war-torn country of Abbudin. He has been living in self-selected exile in Los Angeles for nearly 20 years. Barry, the younger son of Baladi's dictator, ends his exile to return with his American family to his homeland for his nephew's wedding. His arrival leads to a dramatic culture clash, as he reluctantly returns to the familial and national politics he once left.

    Just watched the pilot. Went into it not knowing what to expect, but it was really good. I liked it.

    Interesting premise of a level headed dude who goes back home to his royal and dictatorship family. Has to witness all the greed, excess, excessive waste and extreme wealth, while the ppl of the nation live in poverty. Lol at his son enjoying the new lavish lifestyle, prestige n wealth. Then smh at him ending up bein ? . The ? brother is crazy af.

    Its kinda like bizzaro world homeland, where everything is reverse (if that makes sense). Interested to see how it all plays out tho, there are many different ways it could go.

    I liked it. Dude's wife was annoying as hell asking him all those damn questions. If he hasn't talked about his family in 20 years, then maybe he has a legitimate reason. Smh.

    LOL!!!

    You'd think if a muthafucca hasn't talked about his family, or hasn't seen them in 20 years ON PURPOSE, that maybe somethin should click in your head that @ alone. Bcuz there's a good reason why he hasn't said anything."

    The ? dude is gonna get got by his boy publicly and the son is gonna be in viewable it does....the overzealous general is worse.than Jamal...jamal is a product of his father and over compensates for.his preteen "failure" he's guided by the ghost of his dad yet he looks like he is at least open
