Moawiyah

For the historical context some of the details were changed maybe for the dramatic presentation but the most is correct ant the plot is on track and not effected by the changes and im not happy with the romance life that they showed they could have done something more useful for the show, As for the show This is probably the first time the Arabic cinema produced something this large and sure not last so based on that i give it peak plot 10/10, As for the actors the leading actors who plays moawiya had the best performance and just perfect for the part and the actor playing ottman also did an amazing work ,some of the actors not so convincing like the one playing omar nor the one playing ali.

Other views about Saudi Arabia thinking that ppl are stupid and don't read history is actually true!! We, muslims, know the history and we KNOW that Muaweiye the son of Abu Sofyan, was a dishonourable, scandalous and notorious person in Islam history...Saudi Arabia thinks that they can fool ppl by showing the Bani_Omayeh Qom were good ppl, thet were not! I would rate zero of course if I could. They didn't have respect for women and girls back then, yet I saw in the first episode that Abu Sofyan refused to eat lunch because his daughter wasn't there yet, I mean seriously?!! I genuinely burt into laughing!!! Everyone knows they had no respect for women, they buried the newborns who were girls!! Everyone know that!!! We actually studied the history! Plus women back then weren't like this as they show in the series in terms of Make up and outfit. I mean, plastic surgery was a thing back then?! Really?! Ya allah, and so many other problems. May allah forgive the writer and the producers and directors. Repent!

It's more of a show against Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan. Totally jumping the Sunni shark when Muawiya lost his virility after an assassination attempt and his own people telling him that he was their second choice after Ali in one episode! Understandable since MBC has always been out of Saudi control and confirming suspicions that it's just too good and too big of a media outlet for them and their founder to just promote whatever they want, specially when it comes to Muawiya, the pride of Sunni and Arab history. His ally Amr ibn Al Aas, another important Sunni figure with roads named after him in Arab countries, was explicitly slandered by a prophet companion in the show lol.

I was honestly looking forward to this series, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The story felt weak overall, and there were a lot of empty spaces in the script-scenes that didn't really add much or just dragged on. It made it hard to stay engaged. The cinematography was decent and there were a few shots that looked pretty cool, but I've definitely seen better in other productions. I feel like they had a big opportunity with this topic, but it wasn't used to its full potential. Not the worst series, but kind of disappointing considering the expectations

Not the worst series, but kind of disappointing considering the expectations.

In short, it just didn't do it for me.

The show explores a monumental moment in Islamic civilization. However, much of the story is subject to debate rather than established fact, so there is little that can be stated with certainty. The show inevitably takes certain sides.

It was filmed in a beautiful country, Tunisia, offering stunning landscapes and set designs, as well as attractive costumes-perhaps not always historically accurate, but still visually appealing. From an aesthetic standpoint, the show is entertaining.

The acting is good, though not exceptional, with a few standout performances in my opinion-Othman's role, for example, was excellent. Most of the other actors were decent, though Ali's and Moawiya portrayal could have been much better.

Deeper conversations and analysis of the personalities were lacking. Some events were lacking. Some parts were rushed while others were unnecessarily long. Well it's a choice.
