    outstanding script

    This series benefit from outstanding screen writings; it's really next level.

    Great complimentary performance by the key actors.

    Suspense and drama to the maximum effect.

    Moreover, the show benefits from brilliant casts; while they key actors are very famous, you forget that they you know them from their pervious roles and actually become the characters they are playing. Both of their performances are as good as anything you'll see from a television show.

    Last but not least, the original music is excellent and fits the mood perfectly; being mysterious and dark.

    Good overall storyline is running through the 3 seasons.

    A painful story

    It is so well and perfectly made that one's soul is tormented by understanding an unreal story.

    My advice to people who have heart or mental problems should never watch this series.

    The heavy feeling of hatred that is behind every person erupts in this series to attack the bad character of the story.

    The director of the film and his actors, especially in the role of Naeem and Naeem's daughter, the character of the police officer, are doing very well in their roles, do not recommend this series to anyone, they will believe it and suffer.

    It is definitely the best series in the history of Iranian films and series, there is no weak point in this series, the characters and storytelling are absolutely excellent and to the extent

    Aiyoub safi.

    Beyond expectations

    This series has blown my mind!

    It DOES NOT fail to deliver the emotions! There is fear, love, lost, excitement and many more delivered in the most natural and touching way.

    The actors are just one word « AMAZING » I felt the most in scenes where Moheb would remember his daughter's death specifically when he goes to visit her in the cemetery.

    It's upsetting this series is limited to persian speakers and is not accessible or advertised internationally, I'm sure that it would gain popularity if correctly advertised.

    I have never left and IMDB review but for this I had to.

    All that to say, if you can, watch this series. It's definitely not a cliché.

    People's rights are taken away, not given🤜🏻

    It's really the best Drama of Iran, I look at the Iranian series very little because their endings are not clear So I hated Iranian dramas most of the time but this is the first drama that makes me pull into the story and play the actors especially the three main actors Naeem, Moheb, and Raza , like egypt's three great pyramids, really saw the most wonderful role I thank his director for showing us the great masterpiece but what was so sad was the last scene of the final episode when Naeem after All the misery is sitting silently and ebi's wonderful song , and I'm always remember the lion's skin.

    Drama

    One of the best episodes since GOT and BB ITS CHARACTERISTIC FEATURE reality,it makes you wait every single word of the dialogue,you can't skipped it at all,each scene and word are related,its not like the old fashion American movies where the investigators reach to the criminals by dna and easy information,no it's complicated here Amazing scenario.

    The actors are different story,powerful and very interesting acting,shahab s sadness is clear in each episode Agha na3imi never smile till 3rd season,fer can do that and stay in the character Thank you Iran for this episode,we are enjoying it ........
