Bab Al Haara

Overall the show is concerning in it's depiction of women and never even utilized the plot to highlight that the treatment of women at the time was something horrible and immoral. Instead it glorifies toxic male behavior and writes it's female characters as weak and unrealistic.

Yes, It's the best series of all time, season 1 and season 2, the original, the non-commercial are a must watch.

Genius character writing and performing, excellent story and execution, memorable music, it has everything it needs.

Just first and second season are amazing 10/10

This series worked in two Season only, but they exploited it commercially in the rest of the parts without a story or content and with the death and revival of characters and introduction of trivial and absurd scenes , I advise only the first and second seasons only not other at all

I seen this series 14 years ago season 1- 5 are the best but the other seasons are bad too bad.

But i give this rating beacuse of my childhood.

Until now i'm not seeing better arabic series than (Bab al haraa).

One of the most popular Arabic series taking place in the old Damascus during the French colonialism period. Beautiful and catchy script, superb execution and lots and lots of funny moments. It has everything: the beautiful old days and its melancholia, drama, action and plenty of twists to keep you wanting to see more and more. But above all, most importantly it keeps the spirit of old Syria (including old disappearing traditions and way of life) alive though these dark moments of the sad reality. I would love to see the next series (their status is under production) but given the current issues with Syria it's hard to expect anything to become reality. If you miss Syria, if you want to remember vividly the old and beautiful times, if you want to feel just a little bit how it would have been to live during your grandfather's time, go for it. You will not regret.
