Set in Kuwaiti, this movie shed light on a culture of immeshed family relationships. Everyone realised their own strength, but always acknowledged God for outcomes. There was some domestic violence, but it ended with consequences delivered and non violence, respect and honor being the overall message. .

Extremely toxic and taught terrible lessons and contributes to normalize and encourage discrimination of women and patriarchy. As someone from a similar culture, this really hit home so I can say it's very realistic unfortunately. However the show tries to normalize this and it's very problematic. Painful to watch Terrible show; you can tell it's written by a male Arab and/or woman who has strongly internalized patriarchal values.

What really grieved me was the way these Kuwaitis treat their maids cooks helpers each other etc. Horribly! Worse than slaves! I'm amazed that Netflix or the Kuwaiti producers of this junk revealed to the world their arrogance and inhuman behaviors. It really seems like just about everybody's on the verge of mass psychosis. The whole issue of families intertwined with uncles cousins marrying each other is frightful. They may think they're doing it right but the plot shows that matters go seriously wrong. Men demanding the right to cohabit with multiple wives is obscene and shows how males cannot control their passions. The society has institutionalized polygamy and everybody seems angry. Maybe Iraq was right to invade. Finally this series reveals a failed society and deeply disturbed humans ready to explode and a society that glorifies materialism and status over decency. Pluses. Fine performances by the leading cast members.

Glorifies and romanticized abusive relationships very toxic 👎🏽

I am of Middle Eastern descent. The characters were believable,however, all the plastic surgery and botox on the women were very distracting for me.I've never met a middle eastern woman who had a turned up nose or lips that were so plumped up with fillers.Our women are already beautiful without relying on plastic surgery or fillers.
