Shashah Review
The series begins in its first episode by introducing the characters and building the story within the framework of the ancient Damascene environment. Despite the good production and direction, the events of the series are slow and somewhat empty. On the other hand, the actors did a good job portraying this era. We cannot overlook the extravagance in production, but until now we have not yet seen any thing about the plot and the complexity of this series, but rather that its events are simple and few.
