    A Social Psycho Comic Television Series
    It's safe to say that My Uncle Napoleon television series is the best television series in Iran to this day. There are many similarities with Don Quixote's Cervantes book. The main character is the uncle of life, like Don Quixote himself, is a stupendous person, and his servant, who is a person called the Qasim mosque, like Sancho Panza, fosters these illusions. If you would like to know about the Iranian culture in the past 60 years with the satire of humor, I will suggest this TV show to you.
