The season shined more names than texts
The impact of some series did not save the Ramadan season from overwhelming weakness. We saw 4 joint works (Lebanese – Syrian) and 6 Syrian; The values between them are few. Series that started with one impression, and ended with another. The thirty episodes exposed the emptiness and confirmed the length. This is a season in which more names shine than texts. Led by actors, works reached safety, without some of them necessarily sailing towards their place preserved in memory. The effect is not always to overkill characters. He is the lesson of what is happening.
The most distinguished
The classification criterion is artistic value only. The Syrian series “Maal Al-Qabban” carried connotations, sparkled, and topped the list of the best. Here, “Al-Jabr Market” is like Syria. Manipulating prices, monopoly, and the gluttony of merchants are summaries of the cruelty of reality to its human being. The script by writers Ali Wajih and Yamen Al-Hijli, in front of the camera of director Saif Al-Subaie, was able to narrate a stage in which consciences are sold, their people pay the price, and regret comes late. This was presented with a remarkable narrative that demonstrated its artistic value and the meaning behind the lines within its brilliant projections on contemporary society.
“Maal Al-Qabban” is the best Syrian series
This season’s drama included two series, Case. The first is Lebanese, with a Syrian presence, represented by Mihyar Khaddour and the guest of honor, Dima Al-Jundi. The series “Amal” lifted women’s voices from silence. His finger is directly on the wound, and his conscience is clear. In front of the camera of Syrian director Rami Hanna, a scene of injustice was presented. The text of the Lebanese writer Nadine Jaber depicted a situation that can be projected onto every society in which women are led into a fate decided by men. What a demonstration or protest, or a demand for justice that does not resonate, cannot be achieved, this series can do. Here is his position. He pushed women’s issues into more light and took center stage in the season.

The other issue series is “Close Your Eyes.” A faithful Syrian work that tells the story of people with autism spectrum disorder and coexistence in societies that are not equipped to contain “the different.” Ahmed Al-Mulla and Louay Al-Nouri wrote a text aimed at declaring love and elevating its role in embracing, healing, and restoring the soul. Sometimes he wandered off, but he remained sophisticated in his treatment, not looking for a position in the middle of the flock. Trace the journey of an autistic person from his childhood to his youth. He surrounded him with good guys and bad guys, and provided a lesson from every situation. It was a school from where he did not know. He shined on the darkness and illuminated the paths. Most importantly, it raised awareness about dealing with special cases. Here, he poured his attention, and shined. The result is a warm drama that creates impact and does not follow convention.

“Taj” is also one of the leading works that is confident in its position, even though there are many competitors. This Syrian series recounted a stage and restored an era. Omar Abu Saada’s script and Samer Al-Barqawi’s camera go beyond the expected drama of the French occupation of Syria, to immerse ourselves in a complete, breath-taking scene. Damascus was at the height of its presence, and its young men and women were facing their influential roles. A series beyond a condemnation of the occupation. It is a tribute to sacrifices and to a beautiful Syrian time in which the tramway crossed its streets, shining with its cultural movement, social coexistence, and the role of women in writing its history.

The least distinguished
The distinguished category, followed by less distinguished works. “Ouled Badia” can be classified between the two positions, after it excelled in its first section, and was confused as the episodes passed, it preferred its way to first place. His characters are at the forefront. But the script by Ali Wajih and Yamen Al-Hajli fell into ambiguity despite the brilliance of the dialogues. The series did not say that the waterer would be given water by what he watered, except by excessively depicting everything black. He addressed titles including disintegration, the dirty past, the tax of place, and the monster man, and when he said everything he had, he filled the story with what aimed to prolong its life.
“Ouled Badia” could have been at the forefront of the scene had it not been for the lengthening (a snapshot from the last episode)
Let’s move on to “Al-Arabji 2”. He fueled his story by introducing the manager’s daughter into the game, and by confronting the “shadow,” and he knew how to attract attention. The continuation of the story did not bring any significant difference to its previous successes, although it was able to push its rhythm forward the less its glow. This is a suspense series that devoted a lot of space to the brilliance of its hero, “Abdo” (Bassem Yakhour, in an excellent performance), and to confirm Dima Kandalaft’s skill in making her character, “Badour,” the lever of action.

Unsuccessful business
The series “2024” starring Nadine Njeim, is one of them. The world of chases, police, and action, within a text that seemed lax, as its dialogue shine faded and spaces crept into its context. He did not come with a “jump” to the familiar scene when it comes to arresting a drug dealer (he must be killed in the end and the two heroes get married!). There was no need for a second part.

Another series that joins what did not constitute much value is “The End Point.” He moved after a long time, but his steps remained fettered. His story (Fadi Hussein) tried to cross a different path to the story of the gang, the victim, blackmail, and the predicament, so the rhythm was slow, and the impact was little. Something remained missing, without more murders being his winning horse. A skilled captain was able to circumvent the waves and save the boat from sinking, but director Mohamed Abdel Aziz did not give his best. The story was deprived of room to prove itself, despite the spontaneous presence of Nada Abu Farhat and valuable names, so it did not achieve what it aspired to, even if it deserved a chance.
“Ending Point” was not among the best (official poster)
Also unsuccessful was the Lebanese-Syrian series “A Look of Love.” A work that was not a significant addition. His beating was boring, and he did not save face. His intention to present love in a sweet, philosophical form collided with an implementation that transformed the intentions into lost wishes. The idea is appreciated, if it is accompanied by a coherent text and elegant direction that attracts attention. did not happen. It was thought that Basil Khayyat’s presence would guarantee the result, but disappointment occurred. Carmen Bsaibes performed good scenes in a bad series.

Poor implementation also plagued the series “Breaking the Bone of the Basements,” which was unsuccessful in returning for a second part. The security issue, corruption, abuses, the rule of the strong over the weak, and the Syrian person hanging by his neck, are important approaches if they were cast in a solid mold and captured by a more confident camera. Betting on past success does not guarantee future success. The series is a “victim” of this losing bet.
