Crashing Eid

It has been a while since we saw such a delightful family comedy miniseries. This brave show does not hesitate to delve into the reality of modern families in the Islamic world, especially in the often misunderstood Saudi culture. Ultimately people are no different all over the world, parents and kids struggle to connect, partners try to make marriages work, people in general try to overcome their biases, divorce tears families apart and siblings struggle to find equilibrium in their domination game.

The show gives a nice glimpse of society in modern Saudia Arabia and de-mystifies many misconceptions. Many life lessons I have encountered are illustrated here, with plenty of warnings. Crashing Eid is a refreshing change from saccharine artificial dramas and bravely exposes the raw reality of emotional and family challenges.

I really enjoyed this amusing family dramedy. I have been watching a lot of foreign Netflix and there is so much much to enjoy from Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

I particularly like the period show so this was bit different. What was interesting is that all the classic fish out of water, culture clash tropes work what ever the combination.

What did drive me bonkers though was the accents of the dubbed characters. Why do Sameer and the daughter have Saudi accents? They are both British! This is a weird story distorting error. It is not a deal breaker, but you have to remind yourself who is from where.

I enjoyed watching this series because it tackled a lot of serious issues in a light hearted and funny way. The characters were all likeable and relatable (Lamar was personally my favorite) and it honestly made me see Saudi Arabia in a different light.

Being a woman, I also saw how damaging a divorce is to a man especially when it comes to child custody and the show has depicted that scenario in a beautiful way.

I feel like people who have issues with the show either don't like the truth (of divorce/ 2nd marriages/ abuse/ inter-cultural relationships/ racism) or they're just trying to avoid it.

Hats off to the entire Crashing Eid team! The actors/actresses were amazing and the production was 10/10.

While it's never easy to discuss the social issues that were the theme for this show, I believe the team that worked on this movie did an amazing job! The characters, plot and lines were to the point.

Saudi cinema is young and not anyone could pull off a great show like this.

I really enjoyed watching "Razan" the protagonists who represents a thriving self-motivated woman that wants to build a new life abroad with her daughter "Razan".

I was really impressed to hear Hamza Haq's Arabic who plays "Sameer" and blown away by how cleverly Yasir Alsaggaf played the role of the troubled husband who is deprived from his son.

Big applause for the creators of this show.

I watched this show with zero expectations and I was surprised how it touched my heart and I actually finished it in tears , maybe I could relate, the family relationship is well structured and realistic and the lovely summar made it even more light and fun I actually discovered that I have family issues through this show , and unexpectedly I ended it with tears , couldn't imagine I will ever cry over an Arabic show ! But bravo everyone in this set was correctly casted the father and the mother were so good and the divorce conversation was so realistic and I hope I see more shows talking bravely about social issues that we ignore Great job !
