The Monster (2019) User Reviews

Nice black comedy

[SajadLotf · 7/10 · 31 December 2019]

It's a good series about society's problems but like all other Iranian series terrible and unclear ending.

A good Persian comedy mini-series

[babackmandegar · 8/10 · 20 October 2019]

This series makeing by Mehran Modiri (IR dirctor/writer/actor) in 2019 (1398). This series started with normal story, but at ep4, get better any funny. This mini-series ending in 19 ep's, but in movie db's show aried only 16 ep's. (Its wrong, and this series is end)

Honest clever comedy

[honarpoor-30310 · 10/10 · 18 August 2019]

Great lovely honest clever dark comedy. The actors are amazingly perfect. Houshang, Kamrava, Shohreh, Mehri, Houshmand, Mahyar Mehrafzoon and his wife even the kids especially Haleh... every one of them are artistically great

excellent ending

[razzaghi46 · 10/10 · 17 September 2019]

Bitter but very real excellent non-stereotypical ending

The best episodes are....

[sabadana · 10/10 · 2 September 2019]

Episode 13, 14 and 15 are this tv series' best episodes.

best show in human history

[mitsoamir · 20 July 2019]

Above all series such as breaking bad , peaky blinders and chernobyl this amazing show should be consider as the best show in human history

Unrealistic scenes with a social message

[nimagilani · 3/10 · 31 March 2020]

The series has a respected social message and is somehow anti-hero. It breaks down a corrupt system to its finite elements and views corruption from perspective of a poor teacher who climbs up corruption stairs. While the message is fine and the perspective is novel, the movie elements are unrealistic similar to the previous works by Modiri as admitted by himself.

the acting is amazing in Hayoola

[AliPishehvar · 10/10 · 9 June 2019]

In this series as all the series Mehran Modiri directed, the acting is amazing. Although We know Farhad Aslani very well in his other movies or series, but here we precisely regard him as Mr. Sherafat, we are completely forgetting his previous roles.

Whatever happend to Modiri

[RaminJanipoor124 · 1/10 · 19 March 2021]

This guy made the most funny series for a while but this was absolute garbage.

I can't belive they are making a second season of this crap.

It really shows all the monsters

[Dehghan_f · 10/10 · 25 July 2019]

The most meaningful and the highest quality of Iranian satire. I enjoy the Monster series a lot. It shows all the big and small monsters. Classy characterizations and directing; and the scenes are very well arranged. It shows a faulty social structure like a mirror, and illuminates a systematic corruption like a light.

still the best satire artist in Iranian dramatic art

[shiraziel · 10/10 · 9 June 2019]

Even after 25 years, Mehran Modiri still is the best director and social satire artist in Iranian dramatic art. Creative director with his own style.

khoda ro shokr

[Mobin-54 · 10/10 · 26 August 2019]

Hayoola is so great to use one of its character's(Kamrova) slogan and say: "khoda ro shokr!" {translate: thank God}

Mehran Modiri's Downfall

[racoonito · 3/10 · 8 February 2021]

This is the newest directed film by Mehran Modiri and i can't say I'm not disappointed. None of the original cast Like Javad Razavian, Siamak Ansari and Sahar Zakaria were not in it. I was interested in the subject of this series for a bit but watching until it led to an end that nothing happend was just stupid. This is the downfall of Mehran Modiri's works.

The best

[parisahashemi-56477 · 10/10 · 15 June 2019]

This series is one of the best works of Mehran Modri

Monster

[jasminbgz · 10/10 · 10 September 2019]

One of the best modiri's movie I'm sad 'cuz it will be end in the next episode ): However, it's fun , I love shohreh and houshang :)))

Best acting, Great music, New Genre

[iped2000 · 10/10 · 18 June 2019]

Extremely excellent acting, great music, proper use of old songs and .... May be the genre is dark comedy, but I think it is more than that. We should look for a new name for this genre, perhaps the genre of "Mehran Modiri"

cool! each episode is better than the previous one

[pedram-68456 · 10/10 · 31 July 2019]

A very spectacular black humor, dark comedy series from the opening title showing everything on the air to the final title, and so far I've followed, each episode is better than the previous one.

It can be its creator Masterpiece

[edpsh1 · 10/10 · 29 May 2019]

Hayoula (The Monster) is one of the best series released by home media service providers in Iran.Mehran Modiri provides a real comedy and of course a real satire with its real meaning "Satire in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement". <-- He really provides this and we really love him as a real artist. Acters and actresses are great in Hayoula( The Monster). It is in a high level technical aspects the subject is very interesting.

mehran modiri is a genius

[Amixthekid · 10/10 · 2 April 2021]

This whole series have something funny to make us laugh the character (kamrava) have a great acting and good dialogs.

[kmgghst · 10/10 · 4 May 2021]
