What is this

The amount of glorified violence and misogyny in this show is insane. Constantly pushing females around, saying that they can kill them and claim it to be honor killing so no one can say a thing, insulting them in every way, the males get to do whatever it is that they want but the females get called names. The insults thrown here and there because they are women " don't listen to women they don't know a thing" " women don't know what they are talking about" " all women do is talk and gossip" when the males themselves were so childish and irresponsible. The main female character was brutalized here they only saw her as an object and every few episodes one of them would try to force himself on her and that was okay. I can keep on going about this one but let's stop here.

I understand this was adapted but if it wanted to be applicable to the Arab world things shouldn't have been like this. If the justification of all the sexism in this show is that it's how women are treated in the Arab world then most of the things in this show would've never happened. Arabs do not take sex outside of marriage easily. Families are mostly conservative and even the open minded ones do not accept their children having children outside of marriage.

The fillers were insane as well again yes this is a family drama but I didn't need a story line for the sister of one of the main female characters or her parent or any of of most of the stories to be honest.

The acting was a good by most of the cast even though sometimes it was a but unbelievable or extreme making it unnatural.
