  • Pretty not too bad

    I enjoy the storytelling, and the sound effects are used really well....

    ....except for the stories that end with high pitched, ear bleeding sounds.

    Thankfully that's not used every time, so I'll give this show 4 stars!

Q: What is a Djinn and how do they differ from Western genie lore?
