Pretty good!

Warning: Spoilers
I like horror, gore, crime, thriller, suspense, mystery etc, so it came as a surprise that an Egyptian production could produce such a gritty, crime thriller.

The other reviewers mentioned the inaccuracy of the events, but i'm not familiar with the case, and so I'm watching this with little expectation for truth (although I will be reading up on the case later).

Production value blew me away- the scenes of mûrdèr was quite shocking, even as a seasoned gore fan.

The main character, Ahmed Fahmy, was really scary, in my opinion- his cool demeanour a mask, hiding a psychopath. I love Rakeen Saad since Alrawabi school for girls, she's such a chameleon, and plays this role so well.

Overall, I really do think this production is well written and produced.

Worth watching

The series take place in Egypt and speak about a story of a serial killer , they say its based on a real story but there are a lot of differences, but it's worth watching.

If you one of the people who is interested in serial killer series so its a good one but the end is not that good i think they can make it better.

The actor who do the Jaber role was good really and its a huge difference from the usual character that he usually do, take 10/10 for acting.

I give its 7 because i think that they can choose a better cast and they can make the story a little bit better.

I think there is a plan to make season two(not want to mention any spoiler) but its better not to do as it good to end it like this.

Not much fuss. Not much muss.

A different cereal killer style series, this one. Very understated, emotion free, for the most part. Believably evil killer diller. The fact that many of the victims were kinda annoying made me think of A Shock to the System, a few times during the episodes. But Jaber was not near as sympathetic a character as Michael Caine was in his movie. So while that movie messed with your values a bit, there was no such frisson in this series. Very watchable, though. Especially as the average runtime of actual story was about 37 mins. Kept things moving right along. An easy binge. . .

A BIG FAILURE!!!

Utterly disappointed from this show. Its poor direction was painfully evident throughout, with scenes feeling disjointed and lacking coherence. The acting was equally miserable, with performances that failed to convey any genuine emotion or depth.

To make matters worse, the storyline diverged so drastically from actual events that it was difficult to recognize any connection. It's disheartening to see such a blatant disregard for historical accuracy in an Egyptian drama.

In essence, this show was a prime example of how not to create a compelling narrative. With subpar direction, woeful acting, and a story that seemed to have no regard for authenticity, this Egyptian drama reached a new low that left me questioning the industry's standards.
