Overview

Sukaj is a Palestinian dark comedy series that takes a sharp and irreverent look at the social and political realities of Palestinian life. Written and directed by Abdulrahman Thaher and produced by Al Araby TV Network, the series across its 2015 and 2016 seasons uses black humor as its primary lens, skewering political absurdities and societal contradictions with pointed wit. Rather than confronting its subject matter head-on, Sukaj chooses satire as its weapon — crafting scenarios that are as uncomfortable as they are funny. The result is a distinctive piece of Palestinian television that refuses to treat weighty subjects with solemnity alone, finding bitter laughter in the gaps between expectation and reality.
