What got my attention to this show that i had the opportunity to attend the first episode as premiere in the theatres, and to be honest i was surprised and attracted to the story of the first episode and had the curiosity to know how this will end.
I would say it has a lot of surprises and twists but some of them are expected if you could just think a little. They summed all the aspects of Iraq War in a story of one iraqi family, and they showed how this war affected everyone both the invaders and the occupied people.
The rhythm of the series is variant, sometimes it's on a high pace with a lot of events and surprises, and other times it goes slowly to the borders of boredom.
"Waleed Zuaiter" was definitely the star here, his reactions and accent are the best in the series, second comes "Bertie Carvel" who nailed the role of the despicable invader. All other actors didn't make impressive nor awful acting.
The music and sound effects play a great role here in attracting the audience, but you may feel annoyed a little bit by the mixed language and accents .
Finally, it's a worth to watch series if you are interested to know more about the internal affairs of Iraq War 2003.
