Till Death

The storyline is good. But because it's a Ramadan show (it needs to last for the 30 days of Ramadan), the pace is slow and the story is stretched to the max. All the actors speak in a soft manner all the time, which makes you want to fall asleep. Too melodramatic!! Violins throughout the 30ish hours of it!!

There's A LOT of smoking, all the time. It's disgusting how much every character smokes. And it's not particularly useful for the story of the characters identities. Mix of Lebanese and Syrian accent, which just makes it weird. Anyone watching this thinking this is a realistic depiction of Lebanese society, it's not! Maybe 60% accurate, not more.

Good aspects: 2 strong leading female roles and some minor female roles that are strong too. The visuals are beautiful and the camera angles are well thought. The colour themes and the decors are stunning.

Totally enjoyed the sentiments and story of Series 1. Settled back to watch the second series and I am now into a gangster series - slow, no plot, too many superfluous characters who can't act, wooden emotions by main cast and quite frankly wondering if I can go on any more. Am on episode 4. The cliff hanger at the end had me looking forward to this but seems like Lebanon is full of beautiful men surrounded by the prostitutes they would rather love than the other beautiful women around them. Can't see the reason for the attraction because the story never gave it to me. You kill my mother and I will still love you - really?

As of someone who doesn't like arab TV shows at all, this one did it for me.

The suspense at the end of each episode made the whole experience much better.

The length of each is okay, as there was no actual boring part that I felt like skipping.

The storyline is so interesting, especially season 2's. The script is really well written. The vulgar expressions and slangs just caught my attention, and some are even funny.

I really like that this series shows the difference between poor/mid-range and rich families and characters.

Something else that was so smart of them is that they wrote the script based on the country's (Lebanon's) economic state at the time, and the problems that it caused.... The ending of season 3 could have been better, but that's okay if a 4th season is coming.

I really recommend this show for people who want a dark, thriller, drama, crime TV show.

As American to me to Lebanon several times, it one can't help but be struck by the beauty of it's people and love of life, in spite of the circumstances. This is true-life story of the wealthy, the poor, the governmental problems and Lebanese people's hope of getting me the most out of life in spite if it's corrupt government. The two seasons are about two girls that grow up as strong women trying to out live their desperate origins. The story demonstrates how difficult it is to simply earn a living and provide for their families and the corrupt who do anything to rise above the property. Acting, clothing and scenes are masterful. A little redundant in parts but overall a winner with actors who could give the Americans lessons.

I thought I was going to watch Megan Fox's til death but it turned out to be something completely different. And I have to admit that I was very impressed. I've never seen a Lebanese TV series before but this was incredible. The plot was quite straightforward but Very well acted, great locations, local culture and dialogue exchanges. The tension is well maintained with some good twists. Everyone really brings their characters to life. Not to mention a Gorgeous cast. The subs for me move quickly but I can get the gist of what's going on. The scenes are visually appealing and I hope Netflix picks this up because people need to see this. There's a lot of TV shows from Japan and Korea Netflix is picking up. They need to get this one of they haven't already.
