    it's amazing series of iran

    It is recommended to see. Vashhi is the name of an Iranian home theater series in the crime drama genre, written and directed by Hooman Seydi and produced by Mohammad Reza Saberi.

    Savage: A Dark, Cinematic Masterpiece

    "Savage", directed by Hooman Seyedi, shows from the very first episode that it's not your typical series. Based on a true story, it quickly pulls you into the harsh and dark world of its main character. Javad Ezzati delivers a truly powerful and mesmerizing performance - honestly, one of his best so far. Seyedi's precise direction makes you more and more connected to the protagonist with every episode. On top of all that, the cinematography has a real cinematic feel - with beautiful shots and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're watching a feature film. Savage isn't just a series; it's an experience that will shock you by the end. If you're looking for something strong and different, this one's definitely worth following.

    What you think is not always right.

    The series "Savage" is a series with high standards of serialization. The story of the series is based on reality, which itself affects the brilliance of this work. A good script, excellent cinematography, and wonderful direction have made this series a masterpiece in Iranian cinema. The precision and elegance that goes into making this series is unparalleled. The acting is very high-level. I recommend watching this series regardless of which country's series you are a fan of.

    Synopsis: Davoud Ashraf is a mine worker. He is considered one of the poor people in society. He unintentionally gets involved in a terrible incident that changes his life.

    Incomparable !

    Hi👋 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.
