Finding Ola

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.

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...

I loved everything about the first season , and when I found out that it was getting another season I was over the moon , usually after so long I was scared that I won't be good but the show did not disappoint.it's beautifully written , and following ola on her path and to see her get back her voice and how she dealt with everything is heartwarming,

Every little detail stood up from each character's flaws , to style and even the soundtracks .

Ola's sense of humor never disappoints, her sarcastic comments makes everything so much better

I hope that we get to see another season , And pay more attention to zeina and Nessrine's stories too.

Love this series. I love discovering on Netflix cinema and series from all over the world. Like people were able to do in the past, on the radio, finding stations from other countries. Finding Ola is very well produced, very well acted and really hilariously funny at times. Hind Sabri, most of all is excellent. The woman knows how to act: drama, comedy, she has it all in her. Hello, Hollywood...?

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.
