Shashah Review

Apple platform presents us with a short shocking crime and mystery series of  a true story about the dilemma of a psychologically disturbed serial killer, where the events of the series begin when a convict is offered a deal to befriend this killer and extract confessions from him.
The story is very well written, and each episode is between 50 and 60 minutes long, during which you will not get bored thanks to the constant tension of events inside the prison and the gradual revelation of facts about this eccentric criminal.
In terms of acting, the actor Paul Hauser gave an exceptional performance as a psychologically disturbed serial killer to a frightening point, where his suspicious looks alone were enough to make you nervous.
Also, the directing is excellent, it moves smoothly between the past and the present, and the level of excitement is ascending to make you live in a state of darkness and mystery.
If you are a fan of crime drama series and psychological dialogues such as Mind Hunter, this series is for you
