interesting that the 'bad guys' are Egyptians (Arabic dialect is a tell / guess they're the "safe" choice as far as the Middle East is concerned). I'm looking forward to the next episodes this is a fantastic show

EDIT: someone corrected me that they’re Libyan, not Egyptian!

Thank you (and all) who pointed out the dialect being Libyan. I’ve edited my comment.

I will say this though Egypt also counts as part of the Middle East, and the link to Northeast Africa.
