Awlad Adam (2020) User Reviews

Impressively Addictive

[bcfishriver · 8/10 · 18 August 2021]

Married twenty three years to a Lebanese wife, we do our utmost to make contact with her ME culture though friends, food and favorite restaurants, and now Netflix. Some ME movies are boring dramas with little action to draw out the story line but as a Canadian born citizen, we've watched Al-Hayba, Tango and now Children of Adam to our elation. The latter, in my view, is more entertaining with plots, and action fused with humor than most movies from that region. The leading male and female characters are great including and eye candy beautiful actresses and handsome guys. I am reminded of Beirut in their backdrops as I saw it two times, once to marry my beautiful, trilingual and educated wife, and later, a second trip with our only offspring. It is good that some Arabic movies now have English subtitles, to their immeasurable credit and some link stories to Canada as many Lebanese relocated here to make a new life with links to back home. Children of Adam is well written with some predictable plots, but in my biased view it is better than others herein. I've painfully watched Al-Habya 3x and Tango 2x to spend quality time with my spouse in support of her culture, homeland and upbringing. Hope I don't have to sit through another lengthy series to repeat again but it is still worthy of high praises. Thanks guys...

Brilliant story weaving and plot

[info-00772 · 9/10 · 1 January 2021]

I am really impressed with this series. The actors, casting, characters and plot combine to make a brilliant piece of art. I love the story of the thief and the belly dancer! Oh my God, so romantic... and this story ends up being a portrait of a narcissist, which is important to recognise, and vividly portrayed here with all its consequences. Highly recommended.

8 stars for Maxime and Qais

[imbasel22 · 8/10 · 22 December 2020]

Maxime for sure is the one of the main reason to watch this tv show, he's very talented and and he played his role Ghassan very well

Qais really did a Very good job

The female actresses were not bad, but flr sure not good and many others would do much better than them

Turkish coffee

[janem-29722 · 7/10 · 31 December 2020]

Half way through series I bought a Turkish coffee pot (just like in the series) and some Turkish coffee. I was not completely satisfied with the ending...but enjoyed the ride to episode 30.
