Finding Ola

I'm really impressed by the acting of the cast, they were beyond amazing.

In my opinion some reviews are being tooooo harsh, the series is really realistic change of ola's character, sure she is not representing most of the Egyptian classes but her character definitely exists in society.

And the message behind her character will empower women not to stay in toxic relations which is needed in our society that dooms divorced women not only by her freedom but even giving her 'cliche' nicknames.

The best part in the series for me is the parents activity that they did in the camp.

And how they showed fathers being vulnerable which did not exist in my experience and was lacking in my childhood. Maybe that would teach future parents to include their children and to build a relationship with them beyond a son and a father...

This series shows a side of Egyptian life which may or may not exist. If it does exist, it can only be relevant to, and enjoyed by the minority of the population with money, who are extremely wealthy. However, Egyptian cinema has always set itself up as the Hollywood of the Arab world, never real, always looking to appear westernized and separated from the reality in the country. While this may work for some of the countries in the Middle East e.g Lebanon, Israel, it does not work for all, especially those in which a western lifestyle does not match the "lived" reality in the country.

It is the comedic timing and acting skills of the lead actress, Hind Sabri, that carries the show. The series plays a lot like a weekly American Sitcom that is focused around modern family dynamics. While this series is funny at the start, they often have a finite lifetime so would be very unsure if a second season for this series would work.

If a series doesn't catch my attention in the first episode, I won't continue. I binged watch the whole series in less than a day.

I enjoyed the storyline, so very much. I'm all about women empowerment, and I'm sure it'll give many women the courage to live their lives for themselves. Too many times, we fall into the trap of pleasing society.

Thanks to all who took the time to create this really outstanding series. Let's not forget the phenomenal acting 👏 bravo.

Last but not least, please...don't take too long to start filming season 2. I'll be waiting patiently.

It's just an amazing show, the level of the realistic senior is huge, it's in the heart of the topical arabs culture ,the non-spoken norms.

You will immediately fall in love within the main characters, the struggles, the ups and downs.

The soundtrack, songs lyrics are carefully designed to make your own experience better.

I highly recommend to watch it in the original language, the experience was amazingly funny.

I just love it 😉. Enjoy watching it.

The only authentic thing about this show is the language, everything else is so un-Egyptian. The culture, the dress, the setting, home interiors. Clearly made by a bunch of Americans.
