Netflix's first Saudi Arabian licensed original. The eight-episode 'Whispers' features a predominantly Saudi Arabian female cast and is helmed by the female director, Hana Alomair.
'Whispers' follows a family dealing with the death of the family patriarch, Hassan (Abdul Mohsen Alnimer). Just a few days before the launch of his new company's smart application, he dies in a car accident. Secrets about his mysterious past begin to surface and his wife, Amal, and their daughters, Wa'ad and Sawsan, will have to deal with the consequences while uncovering what really happened to Hassan.
Each episode of the first season covers more or less the same timeline but is told from multiple characters' perspectives - as such, viewers will also have to keep in mind that the characters could be unreliable narrators. The 'Rashomon'-style telling of Hassan's story from the women in his lives helps us see the character through their eyes - his wife, his sister, his colleague, his daughter, his step-daughter, and a few surprising characters.
