SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The story is about an unassuming apple pie American family who become involved intimately in the politics of an Arab country. The protagonist, Barry is the estranged son of the dictator who wants nothing to do with his uber wealthy and omnipotent family. However, fate and accident see him staying and eventually becoming the leader of the country. His metamorphosis into the "tyrant" is plausible and eventually inevitable. The acting is very true and every character is authentic. It is often painful to watch as the plot does not flinch from confronting shocking twists and turns and it so topical (as it mirrors the rise of ISIL and extreme terrorism) that at times it appears the writers were really prescient. Though I enjoy series like Homeland which is also so topical and relevant and exciting; this series deserves more plaudits and many, many awards. It may lack the glitz of 24 and "edge of the seat" programs but it is truly an excellent piece of writing and I do hope that all the characters, especially Barry, get great roles in the future. Another A+ show from FOX.

Can't discuss this series without discussing "spoilers", so hang on, here goes.Interesting concept in Season 1 - can an Americanized expatriate son of a bloody Middle Eastern dictator manage to bring some western- values based humanity to a forlorn country long used to abuse by its autocratic rulers - first his father, and now his own brother?In Season 1 the answer was "maybe?".In Season 2, all of a sudden this Americanized son and brother of a brute was leading a "revolution" and a hero to his downtrodden countrymen and women? Uhhh, no, that's simply not very plausible.And by Season 3 the series arc suddenly became the Americanized protagonist now fully Tyrant-ized, brutalizing his own people and fanatically pursuing tribal vengeance at the shrewish urging of his own Tyrant-ized wife, now focused solely on killing the killer of their daughter, no matter the cost to any other person on earth.Sorry, I didn't much believe the noble American revolutionary leader and I sure don't buy the full circle transformation into bloody Middle Eastern tyrant - either of Barry or his seriously demented American born wifeThrough the second half of Season 3 I found myself wishing someone would just take out Barry's evil you-know-what wife ... to save Barry, his son, and his entire nation the bloody outcome sure to result from the path of never-ending vengeance.And I also found myself wishing that the producers and writers could have come up with a more nuanced Barry character and not the complete submissive idiot that he turned out to be, fully whipsawed by a combination of his wife, his terrorist nemesis Ihab, and, well, his entire situation. Not that I wished instead that Barry would somehow become a Middle Eastern Super Hero and teach all those Middle Easterners how to live like a good American ... but rather, I wanted Barry to have some sense of humility, to recognize his own limits, and to understand that absolute power corrupts absolutely (after all he had his family history to prove that), and to realize when he was in far over his head.I sympathize with the desire to exact revenge after a senseless bloody killing of a dear family member, but stupid is as stupid does. Pretty much every single decision that Barry made in Season 3 was worthy only of someone dumber'n a box of rocks.After Season 2's semi-ridiculous story line, in Season 3 I was hanging on in hopes of a turnaround that would get it all back to something resembling a thoughtful treatment of Middle Eastern culture clashing with western values ... instead, I'm done.

No no no, you can not end Tyrant ever. My family member suggested that I watch this show called "Tyrant", well I didn't know what to expect at firs but let me tell you once you start you can't stop. Just like eating potato chips or MM's or whatever. I love this show and I don't know why anyone would consider ending the show. This is the real thing it is happening and all the actresses, actors, directors, writers etc crew are doing a wonderful job. love Laila's character (she is awesome) Whoever is dressing her for the show is doing an excellent job. And of course Daliyah - what a beautiful woman. Also, the theme to the show wow... Please please please keep the show alive.

its like Jud Süß from the view of Israeli Jews.FX Jewish production, 70% of cast and crew are Jews, trying they're best to make propaganda about Arabic people.bad actors, and shitty storytellingGideon Raff ✡ Fox Entertainment Group ✡ Ashraf Barhom ✡ Moran Atias ✡and much moreIn this notorious Nazi propaganda historical costume melodrama, a conniving, ambitious Jewish businessman, Süß Oppenheimer, snares a post as treasurer to the Duke of Wurttemburg by showering the corrupt duke with treasure and promises of even greater riches. As the Jew's schemes grow more elaborate and his actions more brazen, the dukedom nearly erupts into civil war. Persuaded by the Jew, the Duke all but scuttles the constitution and alienates the assembly by lifting the local ban on Jews in Stuttgart. In a final outrage, the Jew rapes a wholesome German girl and tortures her father and fiancée. Replace jew with Muslim, and buisnessman with politician, sotry is the barely same
