Al Sharar

Pretty good show that's suitable for watching during Ramadan, as it provides just the right ambience for the holy month. As is the case with many Arabic period dramas, the plot is a bit repetitive since there's only so many plot lines you could come up with for the time. However, what I do not appreciate is the inconsistency in the story-telling and the vague introduction of the characters, which in turn makes the plot a bit harder to follow, and doesn't give much understanding of their incentives and motives. I will say the plot is a bit more immersive compared to other similar dramas I've seen due to the impressive acting.

"Al Sharar" is a mesmerizing dive into the heart of Najdi folklore, masterfully directed by Alfoz Tanjour. This series stands out for its rich narrative depth, exploring themes of betrayal, innocence, and the relentless pursuit of justice. With a compelling cast, including standout performances from Rehab Alattar and Laila Al Salman, "Al Sharar" is visually stunning, capturing the essence of the desert landscape with poetic grace. A must-watch for those who appreciate intricate storytelling intertwined with cultural richness. Alfoz's direction breathes life into a riveting script, creating a series that's not only a visual feast but also an emotional journey, capturing the essence of human resilience against the backdrop of the vast desert.
