Tango

Whether you speak Arabic or not this is a fantastic series that you won't be able to stop watching once it starts. The acting is as good as it will get in a Lebanese/Syrian soap opera and these days that's good thing because NETFLIX is really starting to recognize the Lebanon/Syria industry and everyone wins for this. The main characters were fantastic and the best acting job goes to "Lina". She was legit amazing. Again keep in mind I don't speak Arabic but I do understand some and the subtitles were more than good enough for me to follow and enjoy. Suspense right until the finale episode and a great love story.

Brilliantly produced and well enacted series. Bassal khyaat and Daniella Rahme have screen presence and command second to none. Ditto for rest of the cast. An intensely emotional drama of the star-crossed lovers genre, depicting complexities of personal relations and human failings. A deep and poignant portrayal of an extra marital affair of Farah and Amer, both trapped in their respective seemingly lack lustre and lukewarm marriages. Both actors beautifully express conflicting emotions in a moral dilemma. Their romantic interludes and tango dance scenes are sensuous and mesmerizing, highlighting the chemistry between the two lovers. The adoration and feverish passion somehow overshadows the illicit nature of their affair, blurring boundaries between right and wrong.....and strangely justifying their actions. Conversely it also elicits feelings of compassion for Lina and Sami who are at the receiving end of this betrayal. One is left wondering how the consequences would have been different: should Farah and Amer have ended their marriages early on or should they have resisted temptation and rejected the chance to be happy? Whatever the verdict, their affair is just too beautiful to be judged unfavorably. Overall two thumbs up. Also, Bassal Khyaat's elope worthy good looks didn't hurt either😉

Bravo! Bassel n Daniella/cast amazing , story line quite surprising!

This series is full of emotions. the actors were gorgeous ,The actress who played Lena was the best of all.

I gave the series 9

Some good Lebanese films and TV series have found their way on to the global stage through a variety of streaming sites e.g Netflix. This, unfortunately, is not one of the better ones. Each episode is filled with long periods of silence, smouldering stares and tight closeups of faces, eyes, mouths etc. The story is replete with flashbacks that are a constant, seemingly every 10 minutes per episode. Obviously a product meant for a very limited and local audience, not for global consumption.
