Whispers

Not bad but there's better than this i wish for the new actor's success in their live , We are tired of repetition

I like to watch these Arab series but really could not get into this one at all. It's not well done, the acting is forced, and the dialog and script (i guess) must be heavily censored. As such, the translated dialog comes across as very forced and childish. It's really pretty terrible!

I lived with a Saudi woman in 1977 and I was wondering how women would be portrayed today, so I'm sticking with this drama. I'm only into a couple episodes, and had I read some reviews I would have understood the change of perspective. I kept waiting for the wife to appear. I really had to check if this wasn't a Turkish production (although the language is Arabic), as I've enjoyed dramas from Turkey. The music and the women's makeup seems very Turkish. I enjoyed Abdul Mohsen Alnimer in the Platform - great actor. After watching K-dramas, this drama seems rather unsophisticated from a technical point of view. I'm glad that Netflix is bringing the world together and exposing us to emotions expressed in different languages.

Netflix's first Saudi Arabian licensed original. The eight-episode 'Whispers' features a predominantly Saudi Arabian female cast and is helmed by the female director, Hana Alomair.

'Whispers' follows a family dealing with the death of the family patriarch, Hassan (Abdul Mohsen Alnimer). Just a few days before the launch of his new company's smart application, he dies in a car accident. Secrets about his mysterious past begin to surface and his wife, Amal, and their daughters, Wa'ad and Sawsan, will have to deal with the consequences while uncovering what really happened to Hassan.

Each episode of the first season covers more or less the same timeline but is told from multiple characters' perspectives - as such, viewers will also have to keep in mind that the characters could be unreliable narrators. The 'Rashomon'-style telling of Hassan's story from the women in his lives helps us see the character through their eyes - his wife, his sister, his colleague, his daughter, his step-daughter, and a few surprising characters.
