Stiletto LB

Too long for a very basic story that could have been ended in 5 episodes. Killed my brain cells for sure. Overacting and exhaustingly long and silly I gave it 2 stars just for the effort they spent to make this overrated, basic and boring story. My only reason to watch to the end was out of curiosity and eager to the watch the finale and turn it out its even worse than the story it self. It's actually made me laugh so much at the level of nonsense that the show have. Not recommended to anyone to waste their valuable time and watch it trust me not worth it very fricking not worth your time at all.

Crafted with precision, this drama series unfolds a rich tapestry of compelling narratives and nuanced characters. The superb ensemble cast delivers performances that resonate with authenticity, elevating the viewing experience. Each episode is a masterclass in storytelling, seamlessly blending suspense, emotion, and thought-provoking themes. Visually striking and intellectually satisfying, this series sets a high bar for contemporary television, ensuring an addictive journey for its audience. A captivating triumph in the realm of drama.

Like so much really all stars were amazing and very talented.

Not everything needs to be sophisticated and intricate. I see Stiletto as the TV equivalent of junk-food, it's not very nutritious but it's a nice guilty pleasure. The plot is extremely drawn-out and needs to be significantly condensed. The actors were okay, I especially liked the performance of Falak (Dima Kandalaft) who commanded a very powerful presence on screen. Besides the acting, and mediocre writing, my major gripe with this series was the lack of originality in the screenplay and soundtrack, you see the same cuts, transitions and scenes repeated endlessly, with the same soundtrack blasting throughout, it gets so repetitive and made the series so hard to watch. I think Levantine drama could be so much better than Stiletto but nonetheless I still enjoyed the series.

I usually never write reviews for anything, but I felt the need to write this review because I feel insulted as a viewer. Do the writers/directors think that little of their audience? Do you think we have zero logic? And these well known famous actors, how could you take on such bad script? The events make no sense at all. The people telling the story are not the main characters, dont live with the main characters, dont live inside the main characters heads. Nothing makes sense! For Falak's character, even the world leaders don't have such powers... This is such a joke. I stopped watching the show halfway because I truly feel insulted. Its as if the producers of the show think of me (as an audience) as someone with zero intelligence to follow such a ridiculous story line.

I think that this show certainly capitalises on suspense with great acting and a super cast. The Storyline is good and although the series could ne condensed, I appreciate that it has not been. I would highly recommend viewing.for the quality acting and suspensefolled plot. There are many hidden deprhs to each individual character and people and things are not always what they appear. I do not understand the poor reviews on this as i am absolutely loving this series and really look forward to each new episode. Watch for yourself and see what i mean and enjoy. I definitely recommend viewing of this series.
