Lel Maout

The storyline is good. But because it's a Ramadan show (it needs to last for the 30 days of Ramadan), the pace is slow and the story is stretched to the max. All the actors speak in a soft manner all the time, which makes you want to fall asleep. Too melodramatic!! Violins throughout the 30ish hours of it!!

There's A LOT of smoking, all the time. It's disgusting how much every character smokes. And it's not particularly useful for the story of the characters identities. Mix of Lebanese and Syrian accent, which just makes it weird. Anyone watching this thinking this is a realistic depiction of Lebanese society, it's not! Maybe 60% accurate, not more.

Good aspects: 2 strong leading female roles and some minor female roles that are strong too. The visuals are beautiful and the camera angles are well thought. The colour themes and the decors are stunning.
