The series is overrated and very bad. I'm someone who doesn't usually watch Egyptian series these days, but I decided to check it out because of the hype around it. As I expected, the series doesn't deserve more than a 3 out of 10, and even that's being generous. The acting is very weak, and all the actors are there through connections rather than talent. There's no dramatic depth at all-the plot is weak, the direction is poor, and the script and dialogue are flimsy, weak, and often laughable.
Egyptian acting is dead, and no one should expect anything good from it as long as a single entity monopolizes production, leaving no opportunities for real actors. Egyptian acting has been deliberately destroyed and eroded, and it will be hard to find actors like Nour El-Sherif, Adel Imam, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, and Ahmed Zaki again. Likewise, finding talents like Osama Anwar Okasha and Yahia El Alami will be nearly impossible.
