Shahrzad

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...

After Gharib's Story (2007), I consider this show as the best Iranian TV Show. Of course it has its weaknesses but the story is so well developed that the weaknesses can be ignored. The acting of all the main characters is great and most of all Shahab Hosseini and Taraneh Alidusti have portrayed their characters to perfection. Set decoration is good and custom design is great. But the dialogues are the ones that are noticeable. Dialogues are very close to the real dialect of people of that time and the actors speak them as if they are from that time and place. May be the reason I don't consider it as the best TV Show is because some actors/actresses are not really good and in some places the dialogues seem so cliché. But other than that, it's really great.

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

Again with the family Again with a magnificent Persian series This is one of the best, Iranian series I have ever watched.

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.
