Shahrzad

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

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.

well first I should say this is the best Iranian series I've ever seen in my life. The biggest and most successful of the series: Hassan Fathi, the director of the series. apart of this, this series have a big actress and her name is Tanareh Alidoosti. U must see "shahrzad". it's fantastic! Shahab Hosseini and Ali Nasirian are the best actors of this series. IMDb wants me to type many lines but I cant not write more than this because u should see the series first and then understand what am I saying about Shahrzad. Mohsen Chavoshi was the best choice for this series to singing. If u wanna watch shahrzad just buy the DVD and do not download it. I think it's 10 lines now' OK IMDb?

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.

This is one the greatest series I've ever watched!!
