Shashah Review

The perfect mix of comedy and crime brought to us by HBO, nominated for and won many awards.

The story is interesting, unexpected, and very well written, revolving around choices and destiny, with a comedic dramatic form that contains everything and delivered professionally from all aspects.

A genius series that excels in black comedy and gets better with each season, as the third season is distinguished by its action scenes that will make you feel like you are in the center of the scene thanks to the superb professional cinematography.

Perhaps it will be one of the fastest series that you will finish in a few sessions thanks to the short duration episodes but at the same time, full of unexpected twists that will attract you to watch the next episode.

Each character has unique depth that makes it easy to relate to each one of them, and the actor Bill Haider portrays conflicted and complex professional hit man –Barry- with astonishing perfection.

If you are a fan of crime comedy series, and drama, don't miss out on this fun-filled masterpiece.
