Al-Sharid (The Absentminded) is an Arabic comedy-drama series built around the brilliantly ironic premise of Dr. Ali Al-Rifai, a United Nations expert in international conflict resolution who has spent decades mediating between warring factions across the globe. The twist: Dr. Al-Rifai suffers from debilitating bouts of absentmindedness that cause him to forget himself, his surroundings, and the people closest to him — leading to deeply embarrassing, often comedic situations. The series mines rich dramatic irony from the contrast between the doctor's professional mastery and his personal helplessness, raising the question of how a man who forgets himself can manage the world's crises.
