Why am I watching this?

Warning: Spoilers
I wanted to like this but so many holes in the script. The family has gathered to welcome Kareem home from Pakistan but he had just phoned Mona, his sister, an hour before the party to say he was on his way to the airport. That flight would have taken several hours so why were they hiding to yell "surprise!"?

Was the older lady, Mrs. Shurani the mother or aunt? At one point I thought Mona called her aunt.

Mona travels to Pakistan to identify Kareem's body and was shot in the side when meeting with her nephew, Danish. She appears critical but then is up and walking and flying back to London soon after.

It seems that finding her nephew is more important than her husband and son. While supposedly an intelligent physician, Mona makes one stupid mistake after another including wiring £12,000 pounds from a business account to try and save Danish even though he's a suspected terrorist.

Maybe this gets better but the first 3 episodes are borderline ridiculous.
