Im pretty late to the party, i've been binging the show with family and just today noticed how the imdb score seems to be very odd, 4.8 surely it is an error, here i am now reading reviews portraying the show as some kind of sin to be commited, how, just how im amazed.
This show is actually not that bad not bad at all actually, the cinematography is a first in a while for iranian cinema. The show does look gorgeous. Sets and customs do seem to be very thought out and worked on.the comedy can be rough at times but at best it does deliver on a unique style. In fact i think it can sit amongst sourush sehat's finest work, its creative and provoking, it wont be the funniest thing ever but that doesnt mean its bad, not every joke has to be on point and not every joke is meant for just making you laugh. The cast does what it needs to and sometimes more.everything is in tone with souroush sehat's viewpoint of film, even an upgrade.
"You Only Go Around Once" while not even being bad, steps up from everyday comedy and challenges itself with cool new ideas. I think it'd be a waste of it goes unnoticed like this (or hated i guess)
