Tierra natal

The plot of the story is original, but not that very interesting. My interest of Morrocan and Islamic culture is the reason I watched this. The show has a good combination of comedy and drama, however I expected it had more moments that made me laughing a lot, but it dissapointed me a bit.

The main characters Smile (Yassine Ouaich) and JB (Ward Kerremans) togheter forms a wonderful and bromantic duo. They have the funniest moments. Also Rachid (Saïd Boumazoughe) made me laugh and is a person you can both hate and love. Brahim (Tom Vermeir) has a strong character and interesting story. But some characters were too unfinished and boring.

The story went a little long-winded and the finale episode of season 1 (the only season this moment) was for me the weakest. I want to know how it goes further with the main characters, so I hope there will come a second and hopefully a better season.

I liked the background music, I know it is not guitar, trying to figure it out but all efforts went in vain thats whya asking here.does anyone know what instrument they play in the background? And also where can I find it?

Thanks in advance.

The plot is fun and original but I'm disappointed with the way it was executed.

I saw someone ask about this, the instrument they use in background isn't guitar its called."Sintir" or "Guembri", the style of music is called Gnawa,

Splendid! Poetic, hilarious, funny, surprising, original, daring and yet very recognizable, very Belgian. A beautiful story, told with great feeling. In short: all the superlatives for this series. I am Belgian, not of Moroccan descent, but I have sympathy for just about all the characters in the series. A true top performance, this production. Bravo to the writers, and to Adil, Bilall and Mathieu. All the actors are top notch - I realize it sounds a bit hysterical when I say this - but really, all the actors are top notch. I am just a little more in awe of Ward Kerremans, who plays the role of JB in an inimitable way.

This original concept is an instant hook to check this show out. There's lots of situational humor here, exploring how this Moroccan family runs their family funereal business within a muslim community in Belgium. Tension between conservative muslim and more westernized traditions sets this up for lots of laughs. It can get a bit heavy-handed in segments, depicting a woman's role and position in both traditions, burial rites, or community expectations. But it turns out that crazy family dynamics, and intimate relationship challenges, are universal truths where ever you come from. There's an endearing code to family-first in this story, that includes more than just blood relations. Would recommend for an easy entertaining diversion.
