De'ah Da'iah (2008–2010) User Reviews

A piece of art that you wont get enough watching

[Ricc0 · 10/10 · 16 September 2016]

All these distractions of today's world only blur the truth and make the obvious debatable. It deprives you from the ability to act, the ability to fix and change the circumstances in which you and your society are stuck in. "Dayaa Dayaa", though a comic show, strips all that blinds you to show simply what is right and true. By simplifying life it only makes it more meaningful and sophisticated.

Considered by many to be one of the best comic works ever to be accomplished in the Arabic world, "Dayaa Dayaa" or "A lost village" takes you to a poor and isolated yet gorgeous village on the Syrian coast that technology did not properly invade. There life will take the shape of two neighbors and few other inhabitants only to make you amused and thoughtful, laughing while sympathizing, and relaxed but passionate. Every moment is hysterical, its phrases will stick, and you wont get enough watching its episodes over and over again.

One of the funniest shows I have ever seen, "Dayaa Dayaa" is a true piece of art that entertains you yet makes you want to act, criticize, and get involved more and more.. and while reflecting the daily life issues of the human in general it will also go specifically to face the political, economical, and psychological aspects of the Arabic world. A show that makes you laugh loudly and think deeply.

Simple yet wonderful

Probably the best accomplishment of Syrian (and Arab, for that matter) television, De'ah Dai'ah (A lost village) portrays the isolated village of 'Um al-Tanafis', a village not in the reach of modern technology and innovation, through the eyes of its simple and comical characters, most notably Joudeh and Asaad, the two friendly rivals and neighbors.

The show isn't much, it's a simple comedy about simple people for simple audiences, but it never fails to get you laughing, while also making you think and sympathize.

Most of today's modern shows have technologies shown in them so "De'ah Da'iah" come and show you what the world would be without these technologies and how much life would be simple, that the example of a village called "De'ah Da'iah" great comedy that you can find in today's simple people in villages where technologies didn't find it's way yet 10/10 recommended.

LOST

[ns19898 · 10/10 · 28 December 2022]

A sitcom ensemble that assembles life with all its complexity in a unique way; to its perfection, one could burst into a laughter, immediately to get emotionally destroyed whaching a hypothetical situation, too funny to be real, yet too real to be funny, which alters the burst into bitter tears, and long and sad smiles.

I call it the Syrian "Lost" Life on a desert island is nothing less terrifying than the lives of a bunch of simple people, who represent each one of us, not so many years ago, living in a tiny village by the sea in a world sinking in the Technologic ocean and drowning them along.
