Justice: Qalb Al Adala

For one: If you like seeing Justice & Truth winning (almost) all, watch this series. For second: I never knew this much about society on the Arabic peninsula; women being lawyers, choosing their own partners, being (almost..) independent, women wearing Western clothing & no veils, etc. For last: Watch this - you won't regret it! :)

It's a milestone show for a Middle East production. Well written, well acted, good cast, and it's breaking new ground locally in UAE. It follows an ambitious young female lawyer who got her law degree in the US and instead of joining her father's law firm back at home she decides to go out on her own as a defense attorney, pushing the legal and cultural envelope in the process. I think they do a good job of portraying Arab family dynamics and address universal human concerns In story-of-the-week elements. I think it helps immensely regarding it's appealing storytelling in that it was created with an Emmy award-winning producer with credits from LA Law and NYPD Blue. Two thumbs up.

If this series is viewed only from a Western perspective, it will be totally incomprehensible to a viewer without an understanding of the cultural context in which the series is set. It's clear that a lot of money was spent in production even if the acting and storylines leave much to be desired. There are holes in the plots that seem to be conveniently ignored as long as the ending achieved was a happy one and had a moral to it. The editing and scene merges are poorly done but for a first attempt, it's not a bad soap opera. However a western audience would tire of the blandness of the content unless more controversial issues could be included in the plots. Since that may not be likely, the series will probably only enjoy popularity among a certain target audience and geographical setting.

Teh series, offers a windo on the lifestyle, culture, govermental system of the UAE, This is must watch, Film culture is without bounderies. Great job, I look forward to see more.

This was nice. Nothing extra ordinary but storyline flows nicely and plot is interesting enough. I would like to see more series like this one.
