do the marks only go up to 10????
kalashnikovbullet15 October 2006
i am a great fan of British, American and iranian comedy, and before i ever saw barareh my favourite comedies were nbc's 'scrubs' and bbc's 'only fools and horses', but i can honestly say these have been taken over by the amazing 'shabhaye barareh'. no comedy i have seen has been so funny and so poignant and so true to life in Iran, and on so many levels, as this series. perhaps the very fact that it wasn't finished off properly gives it more of a legendary status, much like 'only fools and horses' had before they started doing the one-off specials. and when you consider the budget and the schedule these guys were doing, it makes you wonder what sort of level of genius mehran modiri et al work at. he is said to be working on a new comedy, but i hope fans won't be too critical by comparing it to barareh, as this surely was his finest hour.

A (very funny) love letter to (and from) Iran
matthewcarneymph8 April 2021
If you aren't part of the Persian community, or peripheral to it, then you probably haven't seen this pure, flawless, one of a kind, sparkling gem. Mehran Modiri, get's credit for this one, for all great and appropriate reasons- he's a writer, director, actor, and I have to imagine 50 other things on this show, both credited and not credited. But he isn't alone, and this is one of the truths that make Shabehe Bahrareh one of the greatest comedies of all time, anywhere on the planet.

This is an ensemble comedy, taken up by a gang of some of the funniest actors, if you aren't Persian, you've never heard of. Comedy is renowned to be one of the most difficult performances to pull off successfully, and the troop of actors that Modiri finds himself at the center of are some of the very best comedic actors to be found. Comedy should be poignant, clever, silly but appropriate to context, and timed perfectly. There are lots of amazing actors all over the world that are well practiced at this. The stars of this beautiful series, though, add something very special to the mix- I think they genuinely love each other, and you can see clearly how much fun they are having with each other as they perform. This brings a kind of full-hearted sincerity to the program, that is missing in so many other, albeit, wonderful comedies. This ensemble is a family of friends, who tease and poke fun at each other, and when you spend time with them, you become part of the family, and part of the fun, as well.

I was extremely fortunate to have caught this program while spending time in Central Asia, because when it aired, it came with English subtitles. There are ways to stream this show today, which is brilliant, but what I wouldn't give to find a version somewhere with English subtitles intact! For some reason, none of the available options to watch this show now include English subtitles (though, if anyone out there knows of one that does, please make it known to the rest of us!)

My greatest wish is that this particular show be watched by Americans and others who have some preconceived notions about the people of the Middle East, or Iran. Art has this peculiar way of leveling playing fields and of reminding us that we're all in this life and this world together. Shabheye Bahrareh is one of those rare artistic productions that has the power to simultaneously transcend both the frustrating mundanity and urgency of life to show us how special life, and all of what life is comprised of, can be when we share it with each other, when we are able to laugh at it, and especially when we are able to laugh at ourselves. How much enjoyment we could take in one another, if we only stopped now and again to appreciate how similar we all are and how much fun life is because we are also not so similar.

Nobody is spared a clever, joyful, barb here or there in this comedic masterpiece, and you won't at all mind if some of those come at your own expense as well. The world, like Bahrareh, is really just a small village where life and love and drama unfold, and by poking fun at it all, it reminds us with genuine laughter that we're all human, we're all wonderfully imperfect, and most importantly, like the show itself, life is woefully too short.

A Mirror to Modern Iran
zahrabo23 September 2006
Shabhaye Barareh, is a mirror to Modern Iran, the struggle of tradition and contemplation. It is through this struggle that Modiri (the director) makes us to laugh, and to enjoy our time. There is a lack of pretension, a sincerity and a candor in all the scenes which makes us to love People of Barareh, to laugh at them, to criticize them, and to see ourselves in them. A show that you will not regret to watch it twice!!! The story is seen through the eyes of Keyanoosh, a Journalist who seeks to change and modernize this forgotten village as he too like the audiences is stuck with something within these people, and he keep asking: "Do you know why I am here!!!" . And no one does!! It is a world of imagination and reality, or a paradox!!.

It could be better than this
hamidrezampmm12 November 2023
Today, when I look at the series, I see how weak it was in some aspects For example, the filming of the series was not good.

The actors sometimes looked like amateur actors.

But the dialogue and script were very funny and interesting, and because "Barareh" was an unknown place and the main character was forced to stay there, it made the series more interesting.

The fact that differences between two clans from the same village were pointed out was a positive point that may still exist sometimes even today.

At the time the series aired, it had many fans and was able to create interesting characters.

The tone and dialect in the series was one of the most prominent points of the series.

But the way they fought was a bad example for the students.

Best comedy series in the world
nimahassani18 April 2021
Iranian comedy movies and series are always more stronger than other because Iranian luagh hard.

Barareh is the best series I have ever seen.

It's full of fun and also emotion with a lot of political words.

It made for people, it's possible that governments hate it....

The most creative Iranian series
mohadesefl1 February 2022
It is one of the most creative and best Iranian comedy series. The story of this series takes place in a village around Tehran called Barareh. This village is not real and all the characters and dialects of the villagers are made by the creative minds of the series' writers. This series can be considered as one of the best series in the whole history. Even at the global level, it has to be discussed a lot. The dialogues and creations used in all episodes of this series are very beautiful and have raised the comedy level of the series very high.

This is a very nice, I have watched this movie over and over again with my family and it is very, very interesting to me.

I hope you will also watch this very beautiful movie. My suggestion is to watch with the family. It is an attractive comedy film that will surely make you laugh I am Iranian and this movie is about my country, a very beautiful movie The story is that Siamak has escaped from prison and on the way to escape, a snake bites him, and he falls in the forest and faints. Then Shir Farhad finds him in the forest and takes him to Barreh village The actors of this movie played their role in the best possible way.

The best comedy series story is beginning of modernity and confrontation with traditions in unreal village
mehrshadmahdavi-0319216 June 2023
This series is a unique comedy about the challenges of the people of a very traditional village at the time of the industrialization of Iran, where a thinker and journalist gets stuck and lives in this strange village according to the events. Of course, in this series, the people of this village do things they do, which is different from the reality and has been magnified, which is natural due to the comedy of the series, but Mehran Moderi has tried to present the challenges of today's society in the language of comedy in this The village showed, thank you for producing this valuable work, if you are familiar with Persian language, you will definitely enjoy this series many times.

The Best Comedy Series Ever Created Just phenomenal, Perfect
qasmynhmdmhdy3 November 2023
ShabhayeBahrareh is an absolute gem that radiates with pure, unadulterated brilliance, and it deserves to be celebrated far and wide. This extraordinary creation, brought to life by the genius of Mehran Modiri and his incredible ensemble cast, is a comedic masterpiece that transcends boundaries and brings joy to the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to experience it.

Mehran Modiri, a multifaceted talent as a writer, director, and actor, pours his heart and soul into this show. His dedication and passion shine through every frame, and it's evident that he's not alone in this venture. ShabhayeBahrareh is a testament to the power of collaboration, as it brings together a group of immensely talented actors who, while not widely recognized outside the Persian community, are some of the funniest individuals you'll ever have the pleasure of watching.

Comedy, the most challenging of performing arts, is elevated to perfection in this show. The humor is sharp, clever, and perfectly timed, reflecting the exceptional skill and talent of this remarkable ensemble. But what sets ShabhayeBahrareh apart is the genuine camaraderie and affection among the cast members. They exude a warmth and friendship that is palpable, making their performances not just hilarious but heartwarming. They invite us into their family of friends, and by doing so, we become part of the joy and laughter they share.

While the series originally aired with English subtitles in some regions, it's unfortunate that they are not readily available now. However, the impact of ShabhayeBahrareh transcends language, as it has the potential to break down preconceived notions and bridge cultural divides. This show has the unique ability to remind us that we are all in this world together, sharing the beauty and imperfections of life. It's a delightful invitation to laugh at ourselves, at the shared human experience, and at the wonderful tapestry of life itself.

ShabhayeBahrareh spares no one, including its characters and its audience, from its clever, joyful barbs. And that's what makes it so special. It serves as a mirror to the world, a reminder that, like the residents of Bahrareh, we are all part of this small village called Earth, where life, love, and drama unfold. It teaches us, through genuine laughter, that we are wonderfully imperfect, beautifully human, and that life, like the show itself, is a treasure trove of joy waiting to be discovered. So, if you haven't had the pleasure of watching Shabhaye Bahrareh, make it a priority and allow it to enrich your life with laughter, love, and the celebration of our shared humanity.
