(Sorry for not writing this review in Arabic, the website only allows English)
As a long time tv shows buff, I'm not familiar with Masameer shows but i liked Masameer County. The show is funny, relatable and deep sometimes. And let's get this out of the way first, the art direction is gorgeous, it's a AAA level production. The soundtracks selection is great in most of the scenes. I think it was wise making each episode with its own story and characters, i believe this allowed the creator to tell more stories. The voice over is fairly good and funny.
However, i don't know if this was because I'm not familiar with Masameer shows, but the script most of the time was well written and sometimes it was looking for the remote to skip a line. I mean how come a regular and low educated young man is saying fancy words and quotes that only a high educated individual would say. It doesn't make sense at all how a guy with THICK (badawi) accent is using fancy words! Or worse sometime, English words and pop culture references! It feels like the creator failed to disconnect his own character from the characters he created himself. The accent of the characters are FUNNY and GREAT, but their lines sometimes can be cringey.
Finally, the show is funny and it's a must. I've always have a pre judgment opinions on our local content especially the comedy ones. But Masameer County not only have exceeded my expectations, it was really a funny and good show to watch. Congrats to you all and looking forward for you next project.
