El Hashashin

In fact, it is the first Arabic series or movie that I have seen, so the series is very acceptable for the country of Egypt in terms of narrative and history (apart from how close it is to reality) and it gets high marks, although I think that many of the images and the way of showing the events He copied movies and series such as Vikings, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones, which of course gives a good feeling because these series and movies are very popular. In general, in my opinion, due to the high budget, airing time and narration of this series, it is completely political and purposefully tries to attribute it to the conditions of Iran and Shia and proxy groups.

To be honest, the first two episodes are quite interesting and attracts your attention. I think this could be a turning point in Egyptian drama industry as it's the first time i see that big investment in many aspects from graphics to clothes and accessories. Regarding the direction , i can see fascinating camera shots and good angles . The cast performance is satisfying so far even the little kids in the first episodes acted well . I can capture the 11th century vibes through the good direction and the cast performance. I liked the background music in many scenes as it's quite impressive although i didn't like the intro song as i didn't find the lyrics catchy, the intro also was excessive in using the choir and the song doesn't give an authentic vibe in terms of music.

I don't want to raise my expectations now , but i hope the series would be as good as the start and even better .

This is the best series ever made!

Thanks Egypt from Iran

Iranian friends, please understand that our country, Iran, is not capable of making these good movies, they can only make nonsense like Yousef and broadcast them for ten years in a row. Again, I thank Egypt for this unique series, Hassan Sabah, go and read it properly on the internet and in books, then come and complain, this movie is made completely right, don't misjudge, they should make a movie like 300 and tell Iranians Show barbarians and murderers!? To understand what we really are??

Everything about the series is great, actors, music, filming locations, very great, I give 10 rate.

First of all, I would like to thank the Egyptian crew who made this series. This should indeed have been made by Iranians, but our government is too busy with its corruption that Iran's history has the least importance, so we should be grateful that this series was made.

It is crucial to address the false claims made by some Iranians regarding this series. They argue that Hasan Sabbah is portrayed as an Arab, but it is clear that the actors identify themselves as Persians. It is essential to understand that during the time Iran was ruled by Arab rulers, people had converted to Islam, and most spoke Arabic as well as Parsi language. Hence, it is evident that the show accurately depicts the historical context of the period. Furthermore, the claim that Sabbah was against Islam is entirely baseless as he was a devout Muslim himself. Those who make such unfounded assertions should watch the series with an open mind and refrain from spreading misinformation.

It's important to remember that Khayyam's religious beliefs have been a subject of debate, but some have claimed that he was not a Muslim, he was though maybe not a practicing one and in one of the episodes, Sabbah himself stated that Khayyam will always live with doubt, just as he did, and challenged God and his justice in his poems.

Having watched the four episodes myself, I can confidently say that they haven't shown anything that insults us Iranians or our history..

As an Iranian, it's time to face the reality that our culture is not what it used to be 2500 years ago. We have been under Islamic rule for centuries now, and it has transformed us to be like any other Middle Eastern country. While we may not speak Arabic, the similarities are far more than the differences. It's time to accept this fact, if you don't like it, then change yourself first.

So far, I've watched 24 episodes of it, and visually, the series is incredibly powerful and truly enjoyable to watch as a viewer. However, when it comes to historical series, I'm always interested in hearing and seeing historical truths. This series, in terms of authenticity, is purely a fabrication. Many of the events depicted throughout the series are not compatible with recorded history, and with a simple search in historical books or even Google, you can realize this issue. For example, Nizam al-Mulk was born in 1018, Hasan Sabbah in 1050, and Omar Khayyam in 1048. So, it's impossible for these three individuals to be of the same age and make a pact with each other in their youth. Many other events in the series are also not in line with reality.
