    Should absoulotly"The Savage," directed by Houman Seyedi, is a powerful Iranian series that delves deep into the complexities of human nature and societal constraints. The narrative follows a troubled protagonist navigating a world rife with violence and moral ambiguity, reflecting the harsh realities of contemporary Iran.

The performances are raw and authentic, drawing viewers into their struggles for survival and redemption. With its compelling storytelling and thought-provoking themes, "The Savage" deserves a spot on IMDb's Top 250 for its artistic merit and cultural significance.

    One of the best series in the world

    In Iranian produce it is a uncredible thing .everything is good such as music to actors and story.its a complete series and it's about a man kill two kids Unintentionally and the police catch him but he want to escape from the most security prison in Asia, this film such as prison break.and another think I like very much is each episode you don't know what happen in the series and you should ready for everything that you never think.

    I like javad ezati in the one role in the series , he had a such a great experience in such role he play in that role so great and perfect and at end I want to thank from human seyyedi for this great film.

    Incomparable !

    HiπŸ‘‹ The story of the film is narrated correctly, and has attractive and audience-friendly details, and it engages the audience's mind. When it is done with empathy and effort, the result is a "Savage" and enjoyable experience. Greetings to Hooman and Javad, thank you and don't be tired.

    "Savage" begins with close-ups of the dark and violent atmosphere of the mine. An atmosphere that is the starting line of entry into a bitter and historical story. The level of violence and darkness of the episode is to the point that the credits inform the audience of this. Davoud's car and the appearance of his life show his financial problems. Since he cannot even afford to buy a doll and sees selling land in Nowhere as his only way of salvation. It seems that he lost his brother in a fight and conflict, which is why he has become a conservative and cowardly character.

    Vahshi: A Dark and Engaging Thriller with Strong Performances

    Review of "Vahshi" (Iranian Series) - A Commendable Blend of Skilled Acting and Thoughtful Storytelling

    "Vahshi" is one of the latest Iranian TV series that stands out for its bold and fresh approach to storytelling and character development. With a talented cast and meticulous direction, the series sets a new standard for Iranian television productions.

    The performances in "Vahshi" are remarkably natural and convincing. Each character is well-crafted, and the actors deliver emotionally rich portrayals with impressive depth. The director's attention to detail, careful pacing, and thoughtful shot composition create a tense and psychological atmosphere that aligns perfectly with the tone of the story.

    While the script isn't flawless, it is noticeably stronger and more coherent than many other Iranian series. The dialogue feels authentic, and the narrative progression successfully engages the audience. The use of psychological themes and symbolic elements adds an extra layer of depth to the story.

    Other strengths of the series include its set design and soundtrack, both of which enhance the mood and support the narrative effectively. The lighting and color grading also contribute to the show's dark, mysterious ambiance.

    If there's one minor drawback, it would be the occasional pacing issues in the early episodes, where some scenes feel unnecessarily stretched. However, the story gains momentum as the series progresses, eventually overcoming this slight weakness.

    Overall, "Vahshi" is a notable and high-quality production that deserves recognition both locally and internationally.
