Not a bad starting for a saudi show

[tippz · 6/10 · 13 June 2020]

The best thing about this series is that they broke the cycle of ramadan 30 episodes, the acting is not that bad there are some good acting and bad acting from the actors and actresses, the story is enjoyable, the director made a good job no doubt, the bad things in the show are few but noticeable the biggest problem and it's the only that i did not like is using english words in the script but overall enjoyable show

Not As Expected

[krams-91582 · 4/10 · 14 June 2020]

The series is not as expected. I don't understand why the script contains English words when the series is considered Saudi Arabian!! When we want to promote our culture to the world it must be with our pure language. The sequence of the series scenes is really interesting but it would be more suitable for movies not series. Anyway the series deserve to be watched ..

Good tv show

Good tv show but There are a lot of mistakes This thing is less than the tv show value

Very, very bad

[qui_j · 1/10 · 13 June 2020]

I like to watch these Arab series but really could not get into this one at all. It's not well done, the acting is forced, and the dialog and script (i guess) must be heavily censored. As such, the translated dialog comes across as very forced and childish. It's really pretty terrible!

THIS IS A BIG JOKE

[sgtsalman · 1/10 · 16 June 2020]

I rate this title -100 too boring and if u have free time just go watch somthing else this is just a big joke

mixed feelings

[rick-45000 · 1/10 · 3 July 2020]

Watching episode one with my friend from the middle east and he says too many mistakes and it is probably a script that been translated from English ,The actors are not in the least convincing , If your going to make a series use actors that are born and raised in the middle east and not actors that are not born outside the Middle east the give away was using English words when there are middle eastern words like attention and business password that have a translation .over all 1/10

First Saudi TV series from Netflix!

[abooshhboosh · 8/10 · 11 June 2020]

Not bad but there's better than this i wish for the new actor's success in their live , We are tired of repetition

Boring, predictable and no one is asking for a sequel

[mishal-saif · 3/10 · 24 June 2020]

Just to be clear, this is not a Netflix production, they bought after seeing all episodes. So I would not consider this as a Netflix "original series". The show is boring with very slow pace. Focus on characters was a good approach but unfortunately with very weak execution. I hope Netflix invest on high quality and big production original content that really promotes Saudi culture, we have tons of shows like this one in the Arabic channels.

Unique Middle Eastern / Saudi Arabian series

[salmamabdelsamad · 10/10 · 14 June 2020]

It is very good and not like the usual Saudi Arabian shows, it's relatable to all cultures and the amount of suspense is just on point The arabic thriller series that everyone didn't know they need My favorite thing about it is how each episode shows us not only each character's own story, but also how they view situations differently from each other and each has their own perspective on the matter

Bad 💚

Such a waste of time. There is no critical event on this series. Also there was a lot of cheesy dialogues.

Hope for better productions bu Netflix.

'Rashomon' style story-telling of Saudi Arabian thriller.

[alzoid-88313 · 10/10 · 13 June 2020]

Netflix's first Saudi Arabian licensed original. The eight-episode 'Whispers' features a predominantly Saudi Arabian female cast and is helmed by the female director, Hana Alomair.

'Whispers' follows a family dealing with the death of the family patriarch, Hassan (Abdul Mohsen Alnimer). Just a few days before the launch of his new company's smart application, he dies in a car accident. Secrets about his mysterious past begin to surface and his wife, Amal, and their daughters, Wa'ad and Sawsan, will have to deal with the consequences while uncovering what really happened to Hassan.

Each episode of the first season covers more or less the same timeline but is told from multiple characters' perspectives - as such, viewers will also have to keep in mind that the characters could be unreliable narrators. The 'Rashomon'-style telling of Hassan's story from the women in his lives helps us see the character through their eyes - his wife, his sister, his colleague, his daughter, his step-daughter, and a few surprising characters.

Good tv show

[engomaramro · 10/10 · 13 June 2020]

I enjoyed Thank you Netflix I love to see more tv show like that

Glad to see this on Netflix

[glennablom · 21 August 2021]

I lived with a Saudi woman in 1977 and I was wondering how women would be portrayed today, so I'm sticking with this drama. I'm only into a couple episodes, and had I read some reviews I would have understood the change of perspective. I kept waiting for the wife to appear. I really had to check if this wasn't a Turkish production (although the language is Arabic), as I've enjoyed dramas from Turkey. The music and the women's makeup seems very Turkish. I enjoyed Abdul Mohsen Alnimer in the Platform - great actor. After watching K-dramas, this drama seems rather unsophisticated from a technical point of view. I'm glad that Netflix is bringing the world together and exposing us to emotions expressed in different languages.
