Till Death

I can't even begin to put into words how amazing this show is. Please, if you do not understand Arabic, use subtitles!! I would hate for anyone to miss out on such a great show just because they don't comprehend the language. The subtitles are spot on.

Asides from that, this show has you on the edge of your seat the whole time. A must watch, 100% recommend. 10/10.

The storyline is good. But because it's a Ramadan show (it needs to last for the 30 days of Ramadan), the pace is slow and the story is stretched to the max. All the actors speak in a soft manner all the time, which makes you want to fall asleep. Too melodramatic!! Violins throughout the 30ish hours of it!!

There's A LOT of smoking, all the time. It's disgusting how much every character smokes. And it's not particularly useful for the story of the characters identities. Mix of Lebanese and Syrian accent, which just makes it weird. Anyone watching this thinking this is a realistic depiction of Lebanese society, it's not! Maybe 60% accurate, not more.

Good aspects: 2 strong leading female roles and some minor female roles that are strong too. The visuals are beautiful and the camera angles are well thought. The colour themes and the decors are stunning.

I highly recommend this series. Do not be put off by subtitles or you will regret missing a first class quality storyline and acting. It is a bit of a slow burn at the start but it really does heat up. Fantastic acting, great storyline with lots of unforseen moments. Its like a spiders web where everything is linked.

As of someone who doesn't like arab TV shows at all, this one did it for me.

The suspense at the end of each episode made the whole experience much better.

The length of each is okay, as there was no actual boring part that I felt like skipping.

The storyline is so interesting, especially season 2's. The script is really well written. The vulgar expressions and slangs just caught my attention, and some are even funny.

I really like that this series shows the difference between poor/mid-range and rich families and characters.

Something else that was so smart of them is that they wrote the script based on the country's (Lebanon's) economic state at the time, and the problems that it caused.... The ending of season 3 could have been better, but that's okay if a 4th season is coming.

I really recommend this show for people who want a dark, thriller, drama, crime TV show.

Totally enjoyed the sentiments and story of Series 1. Settled back to watch the second series and I am now into a gangster series - slow, no plot, too many superfluous characters who can't act, wooden emotions by main cast and quite frankly wondering if I can go on any more. Am on episode 4. The cliff hanger at the end had me looking forward to this but seems like Lebanon is full of beautiful men surrounded by the prostitutes they would rather love than the other beautiful women around them. Can't see the reason for the attraction because the story never gave it to me. You kill my mother and I will still love you - really?
