Shashah Review
A new Egyptian drama series casting Riham Hajaj, Tawfik Abdalhameed, and Abeer Sabri, directed by Samih Abdalazziz.
The post-modern social problems and dark side of the human nature are the core idea of such drama work, which its antagonist, a maritime navigation office who sacrifices her career and future for her husband, then asks her to stay away from her cousin who is her childhood friend, then events become uncontrollable. All the factors of such work are swinging between modest to high-modest scale of excellence, from performance to scenes shooting, script, and dialogues. On the other hand, there are some good directional skills and well-made twists, plots, subplots, and untraditional conclusion, but unfortunately predictable scenarios.
I think that the social factor in TV shows industry is a very important factor on many levels, but why it has to be combined with the personal side of some characters?
Could be better, recommended if you are into social drama that revolves around characters’ personal and secret lives.
