Stiletto LB

I think that this show certainly capitalises on suspense with great acting and a super cast. The Storyline is good and although the series could ne condensed, I appreciate that it has not been. I would highly recommend viewing.for the quality acting and suspensefolled plot. There are many hidden deprhs to each individual character and people and things are not always what they appear. I do not understand the poor reviews on this as i am absolutely loving this series and really look forward to each new episode. Watch for yourself and see what i mean and enjoy. I definitely recommend viewing of this series.

I usually never write reviews for anything, but I felt the need to write this review because I feel insulted as a viewer. Do the writers/directors think that little of their audience? Do you think we have zero logic? And these well known famous actors, how could you take on such bad script? The events make no sense at all. The people telling the story are not the main characters, dont live with the main characters, dont live inside the main characters heads. Nothing makes sense! For Falak's character, even the world leaders don't have such powers... This is such a joke. I stopped watching the show halfway because I truly feel insulted. Its as if the producers of the show think of me (as an audience) as someone with zero intelligence to follow such a ridiculous story line.

Not everything needs to be sophisticated and intricate. I see Stiletto as the TV equivalent of junk-food, it's not very nutritious but it's a nice guilty pleasure. The plot is extremely drawn-out and needs to be significantly condensed. The actors were okay, I especially liked the performance of Falak (Dima Kandalaft) who commanded a very powerful presence on screen. Besides the acting, and mediocre writing, my major gripe with this series was the lack of originality in the screenplay and soundtrack, you see the same cuts, transitions and scenes repeated endlessly, with the same soundtrack blasting throughout, it gets so repetitive and made the series so hard to watch. I think Levantine drama could be so much better than Stiletto but nonetheless I still enjoyed the series.

Kinda like watching a Lebanese version of desperate housewives. It's not the worst thing I've watched I've seen a lot worse. The main reason I came to review this is because of how frustrating it is just watching Alma. The character is so annoying I can't deal. I don't feel I want to even see the end because of how annoying her and Karim are. If it wasn't for the rest of the crew and the fashion in it I would have given up ages ago but I'm stil watching it in hope someone kills them both off. It's quite entertaining though in a frustrating kinda way. The overall film production is beautifully done and can't fault it at all.

Wonderful script and " chapeau bas " for some actors like Dima Kandalaft , Karess bashar and samer massri a bit slow yes i admit but it worths the watching too many episodes yes ,, they can be summed up to 30 or 40.

The show is great after all regardless any flaws and very slow motions in scenes most of times from the EP 01 to early 70s it shows so many mysteries and hidden secrets , some backgrounds.

The mystery of the crime never reveals unless all the suspects uncover their true faces and of course slowly unlike any other shows that finish up everything in the final episode and then it uncovers it all.
