Shahrzad

An epic drama loosely based on the history of Iran from the perspective of different but engaging, rich characters . The consistent poetry of the Persian language used is so eloquent and powerful. This drama is a wonderful non-gratuitous love story, which was performed by the characters in a rather fascinating way. Actress Taraneh Alidoosti packs more beauty and feeling in still silence, she possess such incredible skill. A beautiful story, with just as beautiful cinematography. I am mesmerised.

It is destiny that decides who puts one on one's path. But in the end, it is one's heart that decides who stays and who goes.

Shahrzad series is definitely one of the top Iranian TV series of all time, I have seen 14 episodes at the time of writing this review and have enjoyed every minutes of it.

Very well written scenario, you would be astonished by ups and downs of the story and how un-predictable it can get, smooth and wonderful act by all actors and actresses, lovely music and sound tracks, stage design is wonderful.

You would feel moments that you cannot blink and it gets you emotionally attached to the characters and the story that you can think of them for hours after watching each episode…

After a long time I watched a beautiful, inspiring Iranian TV series.

The best historical series in Iran. A romantic and exciting story with the right politics. Lasting and brilliant acting.

This is one of the best, and perhaps THE best Iranian series I have ever watched.

The story is absolutely stunning.

A very strong drama mixed with thrilling moments which bring you you an unforgettable experience.

The Cast have done their job almost perfectly, particularly main characters.

The costume design is very good.

Quality of film-making is exemplary.

Will make you shocked, compassionate and cry!

OMG can't tell more.

BTW. these are my points of view having a Persian-background.

Not sure if it appeal broad audience as much.

Nonetheless, highly recommended!
