Crashing Eid

"Crashing Eid" is a captivating portrayal of cultural convergence, weaving together the complexities of family, tradition, and modern relationships. The series beautifully showcases the clash between British Pakistani and Saudi cultures as Razan introduces her British Pakistani fiancé to her Saudi family during Ramadan and Eid celebrations.

The standout feature of the series undoubtedly lies in its exceptional acting and nuanced character portrayals. The authenticity brought by the actors adds depth and realism to the narrative, drawing audiences into the emotional journey of acceptance and understanding between cultures.

What sets "Crashing Eid" apart is its adept handling of dialogue. The witty, emotional, and thought-provoking conversations not only engage the audience but also serve as a bridge between these culturally diverse characters, highlighting the commonalities and differences they share.

Moreover, the series succeeds in authentically representing Saudi culture, effortlessly blending traditional rituals of Ramadan and celebrations of Eid with the intricacies of daily life. The attention to detail in set design and cultural practices enriches the viewing experience, offering a window into the vibrant tapestry of Saudi Arabia.

In essence, "Crashing Eid" is a celebration of storytelling and cultural diversity, expertly merging entertainment with insightful representation. It's a must-watch for those seeking a heartfelt and well-crafted exploration of cultural intersections.

While it's never easy to discuss the social issues that were the theme for this show, I believe the team that worked on this movie did an amazing job! The characters, plot and lines were to the point.

Saudi cinema is young and not anyone could pull off a great show like this.

I really enjoyed watching "Razan" the protagonists who represents a thriving self-motivated woman that wants to build a new life abroad with her daughter "Razan".

I was really impressed to hear Hamza Haq's Arabic who plays "Sameer" and blown away by how cleverly Yasir Alsaggaf played the role of the troubled husband who is deprived from his son.

Big applause for the creators of this show.

Just finished watching the show and started typing this. Usually, I start any show and then get diverted in other thing. However, this show made me intrigued to the story. After so long time, I have watched something very refreshing and full of natural acting. Each and every character acted so perfectly. Ow my god!! What a brilliant performance given by them. Found no exaggeration at all in any corner of the series. What Can I say more!! To fill up the required number of characters, I'm writing this long. However it's just so good that I think one who'll watch, will know. A well made mini series with loads of components.

This mini series has everything, realistic characters, serious issues, humour and it will be very relatable for anyone from an Arabic or wider Asian culture. Is it a representative of all Saudi people, no of course not, but that it doesn't aim to be. It aims to be funny whilst presenting topics that are relevant. And it does it perfectly.

When thinking about cinema and series, few titles bring high production very as well as an international touch. This series nailed both of these thing, while being very funny. The performances are insanely convincing and my only criticism is that one more episode would probably been great! Hope to see more series like this on Netflix. Only saw it coz it was recommended during my stay in Saudi Arabia and will definitely recommend it to my friends both in and outside of the cultures in the series.

I enjoyed watching this series because it tackled a lot of serious issues in a light hearted and funny way. The characters were all likeable and relatable (Lamar was personally my favorite) and it honestly made me see Saudi Arabia in a different light.

Being a woman, I also saw how damaging a divorce is to a man especially when it comes to child custody and the show has depicted that scenario in a beautiful way.

I feel like people who have issues with the show either don't like the truth (of divorce/ 2nd marriages/ abuse/ inter-cultural relationships/ racism) or they're just trying to avoid it.

Hats off to the entire Crashing Eid team! The actors/actresses were amazing and the production was 10/10.
