First of all I think we all agree that Hind Sabri is the best actress in the Middle East
Second I thought that I will see something familiar to the Aiza Atjoz but I was surprised with something great and different especially the quality, I was over the moon when I found out that there's a second season
Can't wait to see it I'm sure that they will come up with something great same as the first season Hind Sabri words cannot describe how amazing you are, every time I see you , my admiration for you increases Thank You for everything and can't wait to see you again
We love you very much Hind Abdullah Hasnyy.

I'm really impressed by the acting of the cast, they were beyond amazing.
In my opinion some reviews are being tooooo harsh, the series is really realistic change of ola's character, sure she is not representing most of the Egyptian classes but her character definitely exists in society.
And the message behind her character will empower women not to stay in toxic relations which is needed in our society that dooms divorced women not only by her freedom but even giving her 'cliche' nicknames.
The best part in the series for me is the parents activity that they did in the camp.
And how they showed fathers being vulnerable which did not exist in my experience and was lacking in my childhood. Maybe that would teach future parents to include their children and to build a relationship with them beyond a son and a father...

The only authentic thing about this show is the language, everything else is so un-Egyptian. The culture, the dress, the setting, home interiors. Clearly made by a bunch of Americans.
Love this series. I love discovering on Netflix cinema and series from all over the world. Like people were able to do in the past, on the radio, finding stations from other countries. Finding Ola is very well produced, very well acted and really hilariously funny at times. Hind Sabri, most of all is excellent. The woman knows how to act: drama, comedy, she has it all in her. Hello, Hollywood...?
This series shows a side of Egyptian life which may or may not exist. If it does exist, it can only be relevant to, and enjoyed by the minority of the population with money, who are extremely wealthy. However, Egyptian cinema has always set itself up as the Hollywood of the Arab world, never real, always looking to appear westernized and separated from the reality in the country. While this may work for some of the countries in the Middle East e.g Lebanon, Israel, it does not work for all, especially those in which a western lifestyle does not match the "lived" reality in the country.
It is the comedic timing and acting skills of the lead actress, Hind Sabri, that carries the show. The series plays a lot like a weekly American Sitcom that is focused around modern family dynamics. While this series is funny at the start, they often have a finite lifetime so would be very unsure if a second season for this series would work.

Did you know
- TriviaThe series has been developed in parallel to Netflix's first Middle East original "DJINN" which was a massive critical and commercial failure. what contributed to Djinn''s failure was also due to its culturally inappropriate depictions and due to this, FINDING OLA was significantly toned down and can clearly be noticed throughout the series.
