Lam Shamseya

I'm truly proud of Egypt for creating something like Lam Shamsiya. The story, acting, directing, production, cinematography, and soundtrack are all masterpieces. It's truly one of the strongest Egyptian series I've ever seen, and it raises awareness about a very important issue. And Amina Khalil's performance was incredible-she has matured a lot as an actress. The young talented actor who played Youssef was truly amazing and has a bright future in acting. The actor who played Youssef's psychiatrist delivered an outstanding performance, and the actress who played Zeina is a talented young star with a promising future. Of course, Safaa El-Toukhy's performance was on another level, and both Mohamed Shahin and Ahmed El-Saadany have evolved significantly-especially Mohamed Shahin, who was exceptionally strong in the series.

Without spoilers: This show is about a woman named Nelly and her terrifying suspicions about her husband's best friend grooming her husband's son who's barely 9 years old. Bold is one word to describe it. Because as someone who has watched countless of American and otherwise foreign dramas I have never seen a show go this far, because what this show did was scare the crap out of me because this is not something to take lightly at all. KIDS?? But the truth is there really are sick people like that in the world, and this show describes in detail the affects something like this has both on children and adults who have grown up not even realising they were groomed.

Is this show worth your time? Absolutely, I think everyone should watch this show atleast once whether you're a parent or a child or neither.

This show is evocative and evoked every emotion. It is masterfully acted I don't think I have seen better acting. A really ambitious script for is all I could say about the wonderful writing. I liked the directing. But the acting, tone, cinematography, subject matter/script is really what makes this great but the greatest thing is the acting I want to reiterate that the child actors are far beyond their years especially the boy I think his name is Ali belay and Yasmeen el abd they both always evoked the right emotions and adult actors especially amina khalil, yosra el lozy and Mohamed shahid deserve special recognition for their outstanding performance. Warning this show talks about child Sexual Assault this is not a spoiler because it's a part of the plot but be careful when watching this.

In a ramadan season filled with predictable dramas, Lam Shamsiya stands apart. A fearless, gut-wrenching exploration of child abuse, pedophilia and the silent struggles within families. Written by Mariam Naoum and directed by Karim El-Shenawy, the series follows Nelly (Amina Khalil), a dedicated woman who uncovers disturbing truths about people around her, setting her on a collision course with a society that prefers to look away.

Khalil delivers a career defining performance, adding a golden moment performance to an already thriving collection of movies and dramas, portraying Nelly's determination and heartbreak with stunning authenticity. Ahmed El-Saadany adds complexity as her conflicted, troubled husband and father, while Mohamed Shaheen's chilling portrayal of Wessam is a masterclass in psychological evil -his ability to shift from charming to terrifying in an instant makes him one of the most unsettling antagonists in egyptian drama, one that is deserving of an Emmy. Young actor Ali Beialy, as Youssef, is nothing short of phenomenal, capturing the raw pain and fear of a sexually groomed child with heartbreaking realism. He is able to convey such complex emotions just with his eyes, making me believe he is capable of surpassing many full grown actors in the industry. His scenes are some of the most emotionally charged in the series, leaving a lasting impact. He is sure to have a bright future.

Visually striking and thematically bold, Lam Shamsiya uses metaphor and masterful cinematography to amplify its emotional weight. Its title, rooted in Arabic grammar, symbolizes the hidden traumas that persist in silence. More than just a series, Lam Shamsiya is a call for awareness, pushing viewers in a conservative society to confront uncomfortable truths that are not spoken about as much as they should. I strongly recommend this show for arab and international viewers alike, as it is truly a masterpiece.

Unflinching, powerful, and deeply moving, this is storytelling at its finest. A 10/10 must-watch.

One of the most overrated series in last 10 years! The plot was marketed as great social case touching the entire society but that's not true in my opinion, and the case could have been solved since the very beginning, just if the step-mom sat calmly with the kid asking him some reasonable questions to understand what exactly happened 🙄 no need for 10+ episodes around this! The idea of all the characters within small family and friends group suffered from the same harassment issue is very strange and odd! In my opinion, the plot is not realistic at all and shapes a very rare case as if the entire world suffers from it!
