Plot[edit]
Derek Thompson (Dwayne Johnson) is a minor league hockey player nicknamed the "Tooth Fairy" for hitting opposing players so hard that he knocks out their teeth. One night, Derek steals a dollar from his girlfriend Carly's (Ashley Judd) six-year-old daughter Tess (Destiny Whitlock) that had been left for her lost tooth and tells her that the tooth fairy doesn't exist. Then he receives a magical summons under his pillow. He grows wings and is transported to the realm of tooth fairies. He meets his case worker, Tracy (Stephen Merchant) and the head fairy, Lily (Julie Andrews). He has an adversarial relationship with them. Lily tells Derek that he is a "dream crusher," due to his unsympathetic dealings with children like Tess. He is sentenced to serve two weeks as a tooth fairy. Later, he meets Jerry (Billy Crystal), who gives him his tooth fairy supplies, which include "Shrinking Paste," "Invisible Spray," and "Amnesia Dust."
Carly's teenage son, Randy (Chase Ellison) dislikes Derek. Randy wants to grow up to be a heavy metal star. When Derek defends Randy against a bully, he begins to win him over, and Derek begins teaching him to play his electric guitar better so he can win a talent show.
Derek visits several children and tries his best to be a good tooth fairy, but ends up causing more harm than good. Lily says that he is the worst tooth fairy ever and denies him more supplies for the remainder of his sentence. He buys black market supplies from another fairy named Ziggy (Seth MacFarlane), but they malfunction and he is seen by a child's mother and arrested. While behind bars, Tracy tells Derek that his duty is extended to three weeks. Carly bails Derek out.
Despite managing to improve his tooth fairy skills, as well as bonding with Tracy and continuing to bond with Randy, this progress is halted when Derek becomes frustrated after he can't score a goal at a hockey game. He takes his anger out on Randy, telling him that he will never become a rock star. His dreams crushed, Randy smashes his guitar and Carly breaks up with Derek. Later, Tracy comes to Derek's house and announces that he is a tooth fairy in training, but that Derek's cruel remarks hurt himself more than others. The next game, Derek gets back on the ice and sees Tracy. Tracy wants to teach Derek the importance of dreams, encouraging Derek to score a goal and to go get Tess' tooth. With a renewed spirit, Derek scores the goal, gets into his tooth fairy costume, and flies away while Tracy spreads Amnesia Dust on the audience to cover up the event.
At Carly's, Tess sees Derek taking her tooth, but she promises to keep it a secret, and Derek apologizes to Randy and encourages him to keep pursuing his dreams, using his magic wand to grant Randy a new guitar. Downstairs, Carly sees him as a tooth fairy, but assumes that he rented a costume for Tess' sake, causing her to forgive him. Derek flies Randy to the talent show and throws Amnesia Dust on him when they arrive.
Derek heads back to the fairy realm to give Lily the tooth, and is told that because of this job, as well as reaffirming Tess' belief, he has been relieved of his fairy duties. Lily explains that he will never see the tooth fairies again and he will have Amnesia Dust thrown on him. Before departing, Derek says a friendly goodbye to Tracy. Lily throws Amnesia Dust on Derek and transports him back to the talent show. There, Randy outperforms everyone and ends up forming a band. Derek proposes to Carly, and she accepts.
During the credits, Derek is shown playing left wing for the Los Angeles Kings, and when he sees Jerry in the crowd, he doesn't recognize him. His fairy friends secretly help him score a goal.

Production[edit]
The hockey scenes were filmed at the Great Western Forum. Many parts of the hockey games were based on the Vancouver Canucks[6] using players from the Los Angeles Kings.[7] The score for Tooth Fairy was composed by George S. Clinton and recorded in the spring of 2009 with an 80-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox studios.[8]
Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
The film was released on January 22, 2010, and opened in 8 theaters and took in $3,544,512 its opening day, with an average of $1,060 per theater.[9] On its opening weekend, it grossed $14,010,409 with an average of $4,190 per theater. It ranked #4, behind Avatar, Legion, and The Book of Eli;[10] however, the film rose to #3 on that weekend in Canada with $16,000,000 and remained #4 in the U.S. on its second weekend, behind Avatar, Edge of Darkness, and When in Rome. Despite negative reviews, the film has come to be a box office hit grossing $60,022,256 in the United States and Canada, and $51,854,764 in other markets, grossing a worldwide total of $111,877,020.[11]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 18% based on 113 reviews with an average rating of 4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Dwayne Johnson brings the full force of his charm (and his appropriately pale chompers) to the title role, but flat direction and a committee-written script render The Tooth Fairy unacceptably dull."[12] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 36 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[13] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale.[14]

Numerical aperture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The numerical aperture with respect to a point P depends on the half-angle, θ1, of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the lens and the ambient index of refraction. As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same:
NA = n 1 sin  θ 1 = n 2 sin  θ 2 . {\displaystyle {\text{NA}}=n_{1}\sin \theta _{1}=n_{2}\sin \theta _{2}.}
In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or emit light. By incorporating index of refraction in its definition, NA has the property that it is constant for a beam as it goes from one material to another, provided there is no refractive power at the interface. The exact definition of the term varies slightly between different areas of optics. Numerical aperture is commonly used in microscopy to describe the acceptance cone of an objective (and hence its light-gathering ability and resolution), and in fiber optics, in which it describes the range of angles within which light that is incident on the fiber will be transmitted along it.

General optics[edit]
In most areas of optics, and especially in microscopy, the numerical aperture of an optical system such as an objective lens is defined by
N A = n sin  θ , {\displaystyle \mathrm {NA} =n\sin \theta ,}
where n is the index of refraction of the medium in which the lens is working (1.00 for air, 1.33 for pure water, and typically 1.52 for immersion oil;[1] see also list of refractive indices), and θ is the maximal half-angle of the cone of light that can enter or exit the lens. In general, this is the angle of the real marginal ray in the system. Because the index of refraction is included, the NA of a pencil of rays is an invariant as a pencil of rays passes from one material to another through a flat surface. This is easily shown by rearranging Snell's law to find that n sin θ is constant across an interface.
In air, the angular aperture of the lens is approximately twice this value (within the paraxial approximation). The NA is generally measured with respect to a particular object or image point and will vary as that point is moved. In microscopy, NA generally refers to object-space NA unless otherwise noted.
In microscopy, NA is important because it indicates the resolving power of a lens. The size of the finest detail that can be resolved is proportional to λ/2NA, where λ is the wavelength of the light. A lens with a larger numerical aperture will be able to visualize finer details than a lens with a smaller numerical aperture. Assuming quality (diffraction-limited) optics, lenses with larger numerical apertures collect more light and will generally provide a brighter image, but will provide shallower depth of field.
Numerical aperture is used to define the "pit size" in optical disc formats.[2]
Increasing the magnification and the numerical aperture of the objective reduces the working distance, i.e. the distance between front lens and specimen.
Numerical aperture versus f-number[edit]
Numerical aperture of a thin lens
Numerical aperture is not typically used in photography. Instead, the angular aperture of a lens (or an imaging mirror) is expressed by the f-number, written f/ or N, which is defined as the ratio of the focal length f to the diameter of the entrance pupil D:
N = f D . {\displaystyle N={\frac {f}{D}}.}
This ratio is related to the image-space numerical aperture when the lens is focused at infinity.[3] Based on the diagram at the right, the image-space numerical aperture of the lens is:
NA i = n sin  θ = n sin  [ arctan  ( D 2 f ) ] ≈ n D 2 f , {\displaystyle {\text{NA}}_{\text{i}}=n\sin \theta =n\sin \left[\arctan \left({\frac {D}{2f}}\right)\right]\approx n{\frac {D}{2f}},}
thus N ≈ 1/2NAi, assuming normal use in air (n = 1).
The approximation holds when the numerical aperture is small, but it turns out that for well-corrected optical systems such as camera lenses, a more detailed analysis shows that N is almost exactly equal to 1/2NAi even at large numerical apertures. As Rudolf Kingslake explains, "It is a common error to suppose that the ratio [D/2f] is actually equal to tan θ, and not sin θ ... The tangent would, of course, be correct if the principal planes were really plane. However, the complete theory of the Abbe sine condition shows that if a lens is corrected for coma and spherical aberration, as all good photographic objectives must be, the second principal plane becomes a portion of a sphere of radius f centered about the focal point".[4] In this sense, the traditional thin-lens definition and illustration of f-number is misleading, and defining it in terms of numerical aperture may be more meaningful.
Working (effective) f-number[edit]
The f-number describes the light-gathering ability of the lens in the case where the marginal rays on the object side are parallel to the axis of the lens. This case is commonly encountered in photography, where objects being photographed are often far from the camera. When the object is not distant from the lens, however, the image is no longer formed in the lens's focal plane, and the f-number no longer accurately describes the light-gathering ability of the lens or the image-side numerical aperture. In this case, the numerical aperture is related to what is sometimes called the "working f-number" or "effective f-number".
The working f-number is defined by modifying the relation above, taking into account the magnification from object to image:
1 2 NA i = N w = ( 1 − m P ) N , {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2{\text{NA}}_{\text{i}}}}=N_{\text{w}}=\left(1-{\frac {m}{P}}\right)N,}
where Nw is the working f-number, m is the lens's magnification for an object a particular distance away, P is the pupil magnification, and the NA is defined in terms of the angle of the marginal ray as before.[3][5] The magnification here is typically negative, and the pupil magnification is most often assumed to be 1 — as Allen R. Greenleaf explains, "Illuminance varies inversely as the square of the distance between the exit pupil of the lens and the position of the plate or film. Because the position of the exit pupil usually is unknown to the user of a lens, the rear conjugate focal distance is used instead; the resultant theoretical error so introduced is insignificant with most types of photographic lenses."[6]
In photography, the factor is sometimes written as 1 + m, where m represents the absolute value of the magnification; in either case, the correction factor is 1 or greater. The two equalities in the equation above are each taken by various authors as the definition of working f-number, as the cited sources illustrate. They are not necessarily both exact, but are often treated as if they are.
Conversely, the object-side numerical aperture is related to the f-number by way of the magnification (tending to zero for a distant object):
1 2 NA o = m − P m P N . {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2{\text{NA}}_{\text{o}}}}={\frac {m-P}{mP}}N.}
Laser physics[edit]
In laser physics, numerical aperture is defined slightly differently. Laser beams spread out as they propagate, but slowly. Far away from the narrowest part of the beam, the spread is roughly linear with distance—the laser beam forms a cone of light in the "far field". The relation used to define the NA of the laser beam is the same as that used for an optical system,
NA = n sin  θ , {\displaystyle {\text{NA}}=n\sin \theta ,}
but θ is defined differently. Laser beams typically do not have sharp edges like the cone of light that passes through the aperture of a lens does. Instead, the irradiance falls off gradually away from the center of the beam. It is very common for the beam to have a Gaussian profile. Laser physicists typically choose to make θ the divergence of the beam: the far-field angle between the beam axis and the distance from the axis at which the irradiance drops to e−2 times the on-axis irradiance. The NA of a Gaussian laser beam is then related to its minimum spot size ("beam waist") by
NA ≃ λ 0 π w 0 , {\displaystyle {\text{NA}}\simeq {\frac {\lambda _{0}}{\pi w_{0}}},}
where λ0 is the vacuum wavelength of the light, and 2w0 is the diameter of the beam at its narrowest spot, measured between the e−2 irradiance points ("Full width at e−2 maximum of the intensity"). This means that a laser beam that is focused to a small spot will spread out quickly as it moves away from the focus, while a large-diameter laser beam can stay roughly the same size over a very long distance. See also: Gaussian beam width.
Fiber optics[edit]
A multi-mode fiber of index n1 with cladding of index n2.
A multi-mode optical fiber will only propagate light that enters the fiber within a certain range of angles, known as the acceptance cone of the fiber. The half-angle of this cone is called the acceptance angle, θmax. For step-index multimode fiber in a given medium, the acceptance angle is determined only by the indices of refraction of the core, the cladding, and the medium:
n sin  θ max = n core 2 − n clad 2 , {\displaystyle n\sin \theta _{\max }={\sqrt {n_{\text{core}}^{2}-n_{\text{clad}}^{2}}},}
where n is the refractive index of the medium around the fiber, ncore is the refractive index of the fiber core, and nclad is the refractive index of the cladding. While the core will accept light at higher angles, those rays will not totally reflect off the core–cladding interface, and so will not be transmitted to the other end of the fiber. The derivation of this formula is given below.
When a light ray is incident from a medium of refractive index n to the core of index ncore at the maximum acceptance angle, Snell's law at the medium–core interface gives
n sin  θ m a x = n core sin  θ r . {\displaystyle n\sin \theta _{\mathrm {max} }=n_{\text{core}}\sin \theta _{r}.\ }
From the geometry of the above figure we have:
sin  θ r = sin  ( 90 ∘ − θ c ) = cos  θ c {\displaystyle \sin \theta _{r}=\sin \left({90^{\circ }}-\theta _{c}\right)=\cos \theta _{c}\ }
where
θ c = sin − 1  n clad n core {\displaystyle \theta _{c}=\sin ^{-1}{\frac {n_{\text{clad}}}{n_{\text{core}}}}}
is the critical angle for total internal reflection.
Substituting cos θc for sin θr in Snell's law we get:
n n core sin  θ m a x = cos  θ c . {\displaystyle {\frac {n}{n_{\text{core}}}}\sin \theta _{\mathrm {max} }=\cos \theta _{c}.}
By squaring both sides
n 2 n core 2 sin 2  θ m a x = cos 2  θ c = 1 − sin 2  θ c = 1 − n clad 2 n core 2 . {\displaystyle {\frac {n^{2}}{n_{\text{core}}^{2}}}\sin ^{2}\theta _{\mathrm {max} }=\cos ^{2}\theta _{c}=1-\sin ^{2}\theta _{c}=1-{\frac {n_{\text{clad}}^{2}}{n_{\text{core}}^{2}}}.}
Solving, we find the formula stated above:
n sin  θ m a x = n core 2 − n clad 2 , {\displaystyle n\sin \theta _{\mathrm {max} }={\sqrt {n_{\text{core}}^{2}-n_{\text{clad}}^{2}}},}
This has the same form as the numerical aperture (NA) in other optical systems, so it has become common to define the NA of any type of fiber to be
N A = n core 2 − n clad 2 , {\displaystyle \mathrm {NA} ={\sqrt {n_{\text{core}}^{2}-n_{\text{clad}}^{2}}},}
where ncore is the refractive index along the central axis of the fiber. Note that when this definition is used, the connection between the NA and the acceptance angle of the fiber becomes only an approximation. In particular, manufacturers often quote "NA" for single-mode fiber based on this formula, even though the acceptance angle for single-mode fiber is quite different and cannot be determined from the indices of refraction alone.
The number of bound modes, the mode volume, is related to the normalized frequency and thus to the NA.
In multimode fibers, the term equilibrium numerical aperture is sometimes used. This refers to the numerical aperture with respect to the extreme exit angle of a ray emerging from a fiber in which equilibrium mode distribution has been established.

Bodyguard is a British television drama series, created and written by Jed Mercurio and produced by World Productions for the BBC. The six-part series stars Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes.[1] The series began broadcasting on BBC One on 26 August 2018,[2] achieving the highest viewing figures for a new BBC drama in the multichannel era and the highest BBC viewing figures since 2008.[3][4]
The BBC commissioned the series from the then independent World Productions in 2016. After ITV Studios Global Entertainment bought the company in 2017, they handle international distribution for the series.[5] In 2018 Netflix agreed a distribution deal to broadcast the show outside the United Kingdom and Ireland.[6]
The series is set around the fictional character of Police Sergeant David Budd, a heroic British Army war-veteran suffering from PTSD, who is now working as a specialist protection officer for the Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service. He is assigned to protect the ambitious Home Secretary Julia Montague, whose politics stand for everything he despises.

Episode 1 Thomas Vincent Jed Mercurio 26 August 2018 (2018-08-26) 14.42
Sergeant David Budd, an Afghanistan war veteran and Police officer, is on a train to London Euston when he foils a suicide bomber's plot to blow up the train. Due to his actions, both terrorist suspects avoid being shot, enabling them to be arrested. His heroism results in his promotion to serve on the detail of Julia Montague, the Home Secretary. There is tension between the two, with Montague's steadfast support of the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan and plans to infringe civil liberties by updating RIPA conflicting with Budd's experience as a soldier. Her ex-husband and Chief Whip Roger Penhaligon suspects her of exploiting the terrorist threat, and that she intends to launch a bid to replace the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Budd struggles to deal with both his PTSD and his deteriorating relationship with his wife. Budd meets Andy Apsted, an old army friend, in the anti-war Veterans Peace Group. Apsted is disgusted with his friend's new career.

Episode 2 Thomas Vincent Jed Mercurio 27 August 2018 (2018-08-27) 14.33
Stephen Hunter-Dunn, Director General of MI5, informs Montague of intelligence suggesting a terrorist plan to attack Budd's children's school, in retaliation for his foiling of the train bombing. He advises her to keep it secret, fearing a member of the police might have leaked Budd's information to the terrorists. Montague later controversially transfers investigation of the foiled bombing to MI5. The attack on the school is prevented by a police armed response vehicle, but the terrorists manage to detonate the bomb in the street, killing five police officers. Budd's family is relocated to a safe house, and although he is removed from Montague's detail, she insists that he be reinstated. She also arranges the offer of a place at a special school for Budd's son. Returning from a COBRA meeting, Montague's car comes under sniper fire that kills her driver, but she and Budd survive due to the car's armour plating. Budd pursues and corners the sniper, revealed to be Apsted, who kills himself. That evening, Budd and Montague have sex. The next day he is instructed by Sampson and his superior, CSU Lorraine Craddock, to record Montague's meetings. They also tell him she had prior knowledge that his children's school would be targeted.

This episode's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (September 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Montague is given a tablet by a man named Richard Longcross, containing compromising information about the Prime Minister. Budd is unable to find Longcross in the Police National Computer, causing him to suspect he is with the security service. Montague corners the PM at Chequers unannounced, and appears to blackmail him into organising a reshuffle that would allow her to take his place. Budd is interviewed by Counter Terrorism Command detectives Sharma and Rayburn, who seem unconvinced by his account of the sniper attack. RIPA 18 passes the third House of Commons vote. Travis meets Penhaligon to express concern about Montague's relationship with MI5. Budd and Montague's sexual relationship begins to deteriorate when he accidentally attacks her during a PTSD fit. Before Montague gives her speech at St. Matthew's College, she tells Budd that she knew the name of his children's school because it had been one of many possible targets. She tells him that she wants him by her side, not because it is his job, but through choice. As she is giving her speech, Budd sees her PR advisor Tahir Mahmood outside the auditorium, but allows him in after checking his briefcase. However, seconds later, as Mahmood is approaching the stage, a bomb explodes before Budd and Knowles can reach him, leaving Montague's fate uncertain.

Episode 4 John Strickland Jed Mercurio 9 September 2018 (2018-09-09) 14.89
It is revealed that Montague, Knowles and Mahmood were killed in the blast. Mike Travis, Montague’s junior Minister of State, is appointed Acting Home Secretary and transfers responsibility for investigating the bombings back to Counter Terrorism Command. The police believe that Mahmood was responsible for the bombing, although CCTV is not conclusive that the explosion emanated from the briefcase. Budd falls under suspicion for not spotting the bomb when he spoke to Mahmood. DCI Sharma and DS Rayburn interview him and search his property. The next day, the PM announces that Montague is dead. CCTV from the House of Commons shows adviser Rob MacDonald handing Mahmood the briefcase. Before he is interviewed by police, Travis tells him to stick to their pre-arranged story. Budd attempts to commit suicide, but fails because someone has replaced the bullets in his hidden pistol with blank rounds. Returning to Montague's hotel, he discovers the security footage has been tampered with to delete Longcross's visit. On orders from Sampson, he accompanies Rayburn to interview Nadia about who had supplied the explosives for the foiled train attack, but she does not identify the bomb-maker among the pictures she is shown, which include one of Mahmood.

Episode 5 John Strickland Jed Mercurio 16 September 2018 (2018-09-16) 15.56
This episode's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (September 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Analysis has established that bomb was not in the briefcase, but under the stage, throwing into question Mahmood’s culpability. Rayburn discovers that CCTV footage from before the attack has been altered, and has Budd create an E-FIT of Longcross. Apsted is identified by SO15, with his past as an army EOD officer raising suspicion that he might have been the bomb maker. Nadia identifies Longcross as the man her husband met . Budd researches the kompromat Montague was given, and ambushes Penhaligon at his constituency surgery, accusing him of trying to steal the tablet while she was in hospital. Hunter-Dunn denies any association with Longcross to Travis, but still refuses to share information with the police. MacDonald gives a voluntary statement revealing that he and the party leadership planned to embarrass Montague by altering her speech, but never intended to harm her. Budd meets with a gun dealer and attempts to acquire the same type of sniper rifle used by Apsted. Luke Aikens (the man who collected Dyson after she was fired) is revealed to be a figure in organised crime and another party who would be targeted by RIPA 18. When information regarding Budd's relationship with Montague and his attempted suicide is leaked to Craddock, she suspends him from duty and revokes his firearms license. He visits Montague's flat and finds the tablet hidden in a photo frame.

Episode 6 John Strickland Jed Mercurio 23 September 2018 (2018-09-23) 15.93
This episode's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (September 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Aikens abducts Budd who wakes in a suicide vest of the same type that Nadia had on the train, but fitted with a dead man's switch. He emerges onto a street and police officers arrive at the scene. Meanwhile, the police suspect Budd's involvement in the conspiracy via Apsted. They move him to a park away from buildings. MI5 is monitoring the scene; suspecting that he is being watched, Budd gives false information about the location of the kompromat, and MI5 sends Longcross to retrieve it. However, Budd has booby-trapped the flat with tear gas, which temporarily blinds Longcross, who is then arrested. After a stand-off, Vicky runs towards Budd to prevent the police from shooting him. Still wearing the vest, Budd leads the police to his flat, where Vicky gives them the kompromat and the blank rounds that confirm Budd's innocence. The explosives officer helps Budd disarm the vest. Budd flees to Dyson's flat and forces her to get Aikens to meet his police insider. Budd follows him and discovers that the insider is Craddock. She confesses to providing information about Montague's movements that enabled her assassination. She admits to choosing Budd to be Montague's PPO because his background made him a perfect fall guy. Nadia is interviewed again and reveals that she lied about recognising Longcross's e-fit. She is an engineer who built the explosive devices. She had remembered Budd's description of his children, which led to the attack on their school. The kompromat is leaked, apparently by Sampson, and it is implied that the Prime Minister and the Director-General of MI5 will resign. In the final scenes, Budd starts occupational health treatment, and he and Vicky travel with their children to visit his parents.
Production[edit]
The series was largely filmed on location in London,[13] including the Whittington Estate for Budd's flat and Battersea for Montague's flat. The bomb scenes in the final episode were filmed around CityPoint near Moorgate and Woburn Square in Bloomsbury.
The train scenes in the first episode were filmed on the Mid-Norfolk Railway.[14]
BBC journalists including Andrew Marr, John Pienaar, John Humphrys and Laura Kuenssberg appeared as themselves.
Reception[edit]
Viewing figures for the series were high, with 10.4 million people watching the final episode live.[15] As significant numbers of viewers watched the show on catchup service iPlayer after transmission, the series sparked a debate on how the media should handle spoilers. Radio Times revealed the fate of Montague in a cover story during the series' original transmission run.[16]
The series received positive reviews. On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an average score of 8.8/10 based on 18 reviews.
There was criticism that the character Nadia was Islamophobic, due to the replacement of one stereotype of Muslim women (that they are supposedly oppressed by Muslim men as per the Quran) with another (that Muslims, men and women, are terrorists).[17]
