For an Arabic series and Kuwaiti which are usually just sad , this is nice romance yes they make women look like maids but it is nice i really enjoyed it

Housewives of the middle east, feel sorry for these women, it seems like a true reflection of how husbands treat their wives and the battles between young women trying to be independent, career women but at the same time endeavouring to please their husband.

good drama very realistic. good watch

What really grieved me was the way these Kuwaitis treat their maids cooks helpers each other etc. Horribly! Worse than slaves! I'm amazed that Netflix or the Kuwaiti producers of this junk revealed to the world their arrogance and inhuman behaviors. It really seems like just about everybody's on the verge of mass psychosis. The whole issue of families intertwined with uncles cousins marrying each other is frightful. They may think they're doing it right but the plot shows that matters go seriously wrong. Men demanding the right to cohabit with multiple wives is obscene and shows how males cannot control their passions. The society has institutionalized polygamy and everybody seems angry. Maybe Iraq was right to invade. Finally this series reveals a failed society and deeply disturbed humans ready to explode and a society that glorifies materialism and status over decency. Pluses. Fine performances by the leading cast members.

This show's plot was preachy in nature. It can be best summed up with C.S. Lozie's words:

"Society's lack of empathy for women stems from being unable to separate pain from womanhood. Many consider pain to be the essence of womanhood, and insist that one cannot be female and not be willing to embrace and be defined by a lifetime of suffering."

While I'm shocked Netflix brought this show on their platform, it hurts to know that there are societies where this is normalized.

Extremely toxic and taught terrible lessons and contributes to normalize and encourage discrimination of women and patriarchy. As someone from a similar culture, this really hit home so I can say it's very realistic unfortunately. However the show tries to normalize this and it's very problematic. Painful to watch Terrible show; you can tell it's written by a male Arab and/or woman who has strongly internalized patriarchal values.
