Shahrzad

The best historical series in Iran. A romantic and exciting story with the right politics. Lasting and brilliant acting.

Shahrzad series is definitely one of the top Iranian TV series of all time, I have seen 14 episodes at the time of writing this review and have enjoyed every minutes of it.

Very well written scenario, you would be astonished by ups and downs of the story and how un-predictable it can get, smooth and wonderful act by all actors and actresses, lovely music and sound tracks, stage design is wonderful.

You would feel moments that you cannot blink and it gets you emotionally attached to the characters and the story that you can think of them for hours after watching each episode…

After a long time I watched a beautiful, inspiring Iranian TV series.

One of the most stunning shows on Iranian television, a must seen TV series,

There is so much crap on Iranian TV these days that is renewed year after year, which uses cheap gags, pointless and sometimes ridiculous plots, unbelievable and many times one dimensional characters and yet all the truly great shows get cancelled.

There is enough brain-dead television, but once in a while a show comes along that transports you to another world and makes you believe in the magic of television again. "Shahrzad" is one such an Iranian TV series.

"Shahrzad" is Historical, complex, multi-layered, vibrant and it draws your eye in to the surprising level of detail.

The actors, the costumes, the make-up, The music and sound tracks, everybody working on this TV series seems to have wanted to make Television-history.

And the writing is just phenomenal, intelligent and well delivered by competent acting,

Finally well made historical, inspiring Iranian TV series, Sit back and enjoy...

It is destiny that decides who puts one on one's path. But in the end, it is one's heart that decides who stays and who goes.

An epic drama loosely based on the history of Iran from the perspective of different but engaging, rich characters . The consistent poetry of the Persian language used is so eloquent and powerful. This drama is a wonderful non-gratuitous love story, which was performed by the characters in a rather fascinating way. Actress Taraneh Alidoosti packs more beauty and feeling in still silence, she possess such incredible skill. A beautiful story, with just as beautiful cinematography. I am mesmerised.
