The best Arab historical series about the 40-year-old Bosus war, i would advise anyone who loved to follow the history of The Arabian Peninsula.

My opinion: This series contains the greatest historical role that was embodied by the actor Salloum Haddad . It is absolutely the best arabic series ever and I put it between the ten best series in the world.

The best Arabic integrated series in everything in terms of actors, director, text and performance I hope Netflix network to translate the series and presented on the platform

One of the best TV shows/ series ever been. I keep watching it all the time. Non-stop. Greatest performance.

Best series ever, hope to be translated to many languages.

It's the only arabic perfect show It's based on true story which takes place now in saudi arabia " albaha " Two colts fighting one of the longest wars in world They tried to re create the story as it was and they did an excellent job

Amaizing number 1 of all times the auther the actors each of them is ammazing

It's truly remarkable to think that such a monumental series was produced on a budget of only $800,000. During its time, we were blessed with stars who were not just celebrities, but true artists with a depth and a mission. Their performances were driven by a genuine passion for storytelling and a desire to convey meaningful messages. This is in stark contrast to the landscape of some of today's Arab entertainment, where performers often prioritize flashiness over substance.

It's rather alarming to realize that in our current era, an average series might dedicate as much as $300k just for the main actor's salary. This raises significant questions about the direction in which Arabic drama is moving, and whether true artistry is being overshadowed by the allure of big budgets and superficial stardom.

Salloum Haddad deserves immense praise for his outstanding performance, as do all the actors who poured their heart and soul into this project. Their dedication and commitment are palpable in every scene.

I'm genuinely hopeful that there will be a continuation of this saga. Whether it's a prequel delving into the origins of the story, or a sequel to explore the aftermath, there's so much potential for it to become the "Game of Thrones" equivalent for Arab audiences. Such a continuation would not only honor the original but also provide a platform for the rich tapestry of stories that the Arab world has to offer.

This series is originally 40 episodes. I can help you listing them.

Overview A historical series embodying the character of Al-Zeer Salem, whose story happened in the pre-Islamic era. And presents the events of the Al-Basus War.

Jalila was married to Kulayb, the leader of the Taghleb tribe, who was known to be extremely protective of his property and land. He saw Al-Basous' foreign camel in his territory, and shot it with an arrow. Al-Basous in turn got furious and exaggeratingly complained to her nephew that she was humiliated and insulted by this act. Jassas, enraged by his aunt's words went to the leader of Taghleb, his brother in-law in the wild, and shot him with a spear from the back, a sign of cowardice and betrayal to Antiquity Arabs. Jasas was scared of his deed, and ran off, Amr or Omar (Jasas' friend) stayed there. Kulaib asked for water, but Amr shook his head in awe and chased after his friend. Kulaib stayed in the wild screaming for help, dying. After walking in the wilderness, he finds a shepherd, who gives him water, Kulaib asks him to check if the wound is fatal, the shepherd refuses, kulaib forces him to, so the shepherd does, and sure enough, its fatal. Kulaib gets mad and declares his revenge from Bakr and Jasas, then it is said that he either tells the shepherd a poem telling his brother Abu Layla al-Muhalhel to take revenge or he uses this blood to write in Arabic on a cliff wall his will to al-Muhalhel. This triggered the war between the two tribes. Later on in the war, one of Bakr's allies, a tribe leader called Al-Harith ibn Abbad, thought that he would not drag himself and his people into this silly war, over and above, he took an initiative to stop the blood-shed by sending his son, Ojayr, to now leader of Taghleb and brother of the late Kulayb, al-Muhalhel, for truce.

No words describe how great this work is , it's really should translate to all other languages , best actors ever , awesome music , great real story , you will live in this time of history , Thx to everyone made this masterpiece.

The best historical series of all time, a complete series that does not lack anything. Charge of the work that they are a group of wonderful actors, a series that takes you to greatness.

A world class series and my favorite.

I believe this could be an international success if it was published worldwide.

Specially the creative direction and the performance of the main characters.

I watched GOT and many international successful historical series. But this one is still one of my favorites. The details it provides about how old Arabs used to live is great.

The fighting scenes are nice taking into account it is to an old series.

The development of characters are just perfect such as Judor, Salem, and others.

I still watch scenes on youtube. One thing I believe could be improved if Jassas was stronger and more rival to Salem.
