The story of a migration to the capital
22 November 2023
It is one of the memorable series with memorable actors.

The story is about a family that immigrates to the capital due to some issues and gets involved in problems.

There was a simple and lovely family in the series and it made the series very funny.

Maybe this series is one of the golden era of Iranian comedy series that had many fans.

Another important point was to show the hardships of families who migrate to industrial and crowded areas and that migration is not necessarily a good thing Some of the main actors of this series died and writing this review made their memory come alive for me.

Majid is a student's son who has no parents and lives with his grandmother.

Meanwhile, interesting adventures and events happen to him at school and at home and in his grandmother's life.

The script of the series was interesting because the main character of the story had shortcomings and tried to live with those shortcomings, and in the meantime he made a lot of efforts.

The teenage actress of the series and the grandmother acted very well and looked like they were really from the same family.

The stories of the series were full of lessons for the teenage audience.

The Isfahani accent of the series added to the beauty and fun of the series.

It could be better than this
12 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.

One of the best Iranian comedy series.

The story is about two families who have to live and work together due to financial issues And in the meantime, some of the society's issues were shown in the form of good funny issues.

There were very good actors in the series, especially Ali Sadeghi, who was excellent.

It had a very strong, thoughtful and memorable dialogue and script.

In the meantime, it also had a type of crime genre.

I also really liked the end credits music and it was one of the things that stayed in my mind.

In my opinion, these two families showed a good part of the Iranian society, for example, the relationships of families with each other, or the relationships of family members with each other, and I think this was one of the reasons for the popularity of the series.

Migration of a family
7 November 2023
The series was a comedy and it was successful in this field, a busy family trying to improve their situation.

In my opinion, the creators wanted to show us two main points One is that striving for a better situation is not always successful, and not everyone who migrates is necessarily better off.

And two, sometimes we hope to return to our previous process with the things we do, and we didn't appreciate the situation we had.

But in the meantime, they were talking about the financial problems in the community and that was the main reason for them to migrate.

The interesting thing about this family was that they made a lot of sacrifices for the goal they had in mind, especially the parents of the family.

Good idea, bad process
7 November 2023
The main idea of the series was something good, a son's resistance against a father for marriage, a kind of confrontation between a look from above and an equal look.

And in the continuation of gender discrimination, which was important to that father and he wanted to have a male grandson, but a female grandson was not important to him.

This kind of conflict continued and made the story better for the custody of the child and the fight of the mother of the children for the custody.

The beauty of the series was these resistances, that the characters wanted to stand against force.

The important point was that a kind of conflict with the law was also seen in that series, although according to the law the custody of the children was with the grandfather, but the mother fought for her children and this fighting was a kind of fighting against the law.

But as much as the series started well, the final seasons continued very badly.

All comedy
2 November 2023
Very funny series with a unique script.

There were two special points in the series One: Its script was entertaining and made me laugh and I wanted to follow the series Two: Unique characters like Mrs. Shirzad and capable actors who could perform those characters well.

Sometimes, however, I was not satisfied with the filming of the series, and this is one of the negative points.

The script sometimes talks about social issues that exist among the people, and this is what makes it popular.

The end credits of the series performed by Sirvan Khosravi made the series more popular because many people liked that song, including me.

A nostalgic series for us
2 November 2023
At the time of its broadcast, this series was very popular.

Because it created new and interesting characters like khashayar and this variety made it popular.

Good actors were chosen to play the role.

Each episode had almost an independent story and formed a series in total.

As a comedy series, it was fun and enjoyable to watch.

But well, this series had its problems and I think it was only good at that time for some reason.

Because many serials don't lose their popularity with the passage of time and are still popular with viewers, but this serial was not like that.

The title music of the series was also very popular at that time and I personally liked it.

A drama that conveyed fear well
1 November 2023
The story of the series was very sensitive, interesting and scary and sometimes sad, and I had read somewhere that the story of the series is based on reality.

The story is about a person who is accused of murder and is currently in prison, and the person who was killed was his close friend and the victim's son was supposed to marry his daughter.

The atmosphere of the series was very heavy, that is, the series was made in such a way that you could be in the heart of an important event that is about the life of a human being.

Few serials have been able to convey such a topic of murder and prison to their audience, so that if a person is going to act in anger, he can review the events of the serial and that bad mood.

There were very powerful actors in the series, especially Parviz Parastui shone as the main character.

Gharib's Story (2007– )

A good father to children
1 November 2023
Unfortunately, few movies and series have been produced about the biographies of important, compassionate and hardworking people who have created a positive trend with their efforts.

This is one of the best biographical series made in Iran and it is about the life of Dr. Mohammad Gharib, who is known today as the father of Iranian pediatrics.

The text of the series is not exactly his biography, and sometimes the creators of the series have probably made some changes in it to make it more interesting, but the main trend of his biography is the same.

But this incident made his name and performance remain well in the minds of the audience.

The history of the series is relatively old, but the atmosphere of the series was very good and it created the feeling of that time for the audience who has not seen that period.

Another interesting point was that the Hashemi brothers have each played as a young and middle-aged doctor, and the similarity of their faces and acting style was very good and no difference was felt.

The story itself was full of excitement and efforts of the doctor, and in the meantime, he sometimes became very sad, for the patients who were not in good condition and the doctor was fighting to save them.

Funny but rich animation
30 October 2023
The way the series was broadcast and produced was very interesting, first of all, it is one of the series that has only been broadcast on the Internet, except for few episide.

And secondly, the broadcast time of each season is very short, and this was innovative for Iran's serial space.

One of the strong positive points of the series was its voice acting, and it strongly attracted the audience and different accents were used in it.

The most important part of the series was its goal, because it wanted to convey the right messages to the audience in the form of animation and comedy and make people's culture better.

This kind of series makes some cultural issues stick in the minds of the audience.

Another good thing about the series was that you could watch it as a family and it did not cover a certain age group, and even this did not reduce the quality of the series.

Of course, some parts were just advertisements, but it still had its own entertainment.

A great comedy
30 October 2023
In the past decades, the characters of Iranian serials have tended to be more rich.

For example, a doctor, an engineer, a factory owner, and even if they are not generally rich, there is a rich main character.

But in the past, the serials came out more from the heart of the society.

The good thing about this series was that it came from the heart of the society and the family of the series had a carpet cleaner, which is rarely mentioned in movies or series.

The story is about two families (or a larger family) who face life problems and sometimes they face severe financial problems.

The series is a comedy and it has been successful in this field, but sometimes some scenes are sad, which in my opinion added to the effect of the series.

There were interesting and funny dialogues in the series which the actors did well.

I was surprised that the second season of this series had a different name.

Overall, this series had the potential to have more seasons, but season one was the most beautiful.

Clichéd but popular
29 October 2023
In my opinion, it was a very stereotypical series, some characters were very white and some others were very black, and both types of characters were shown badly in the series.

But the main theme of the series, and sometimes showing a little inside the society, made the series gain a lot of fans that year.

Sometimes this series showed the difference between two generations well and the rebelliousness of the main character (the eldest son of the family) The confrontation between the son's marriage and the father's remarriage was also an interesting topic that added to the charm of the series.

In the whole series, it was in such a way as to lead the youth towards the right decision and marriage.

Both a thief and a policeman
29 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The main theme of the series was something very interesting, that an undercover policeman loses his memory during a mission and then when he regains consciousness, he not only does not know that he is a policeman but also does not know who he is at all.

Interesting and funny characters were present in the series, which added to the charm of the series Another positive point was the adventure of the series, that the two main characters were looking for a bag and faced problems one after the other.

But the police scenes of the movie were either few or very weak and this was the weak point of the series from my point of view.

It was cool that the main character of the series realizes his true identity and his friend, who is also a thief, finds out about this and they are not friends like they used to be.

Fraud and family
28 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The interesting point of the series was that it raised the question of how much a man can be so greedy for fraud and money that he sometimes forgets his own family.

The series was very funny and created interesting characters that stayed in the mind.

Another positive point was that it showed a family that had gone from being rich to a bad financial situation, and the man of the family agreed to do this for more money and to cheat his partners.

Because those who were robbed and had a good financial situation did not make the series sad and made me follow how the main character can hide that money.

Of course, some things were kind of repetitive like many Iranian series, a girl and a boy meeting by chance and intending to get married.

In general, it was one of the series that you could have fun with.

The story of a family
28 October 2023
The story of the series is about a family of 5 people, consisting of parents, two brothers and a sister, and a separate story is played in each episode.

For me personally, this series reminds me of the good old days, and some episodes still remain in my memory after years.

It is very clear that this is a family from Tehran and at that time it was not very close to other Iranian families and it showed the culture of the capital.

Sibling relationships were well shown and sometimes had their own entertainment.

But some parts were a bit tasteless and boring and not very attractive.

In my opinion, this series was more for teenagers than for adults because most of the main roles were played by the children of the family and they made the series exciting.

One of the positive points of the series was showing the inside of a family But the negative point was that because it was a comedy series, usually the big problems that families sometimes face were not shown and it was only for entertainment.

But the problems could be shown well in most of the comedy.

Very funny while showing the problems
26 October 2023
The story is about an immigration that doesn't happen, a man with a family and three children is trying to immigrate to another country to improve his financial situation.

But this never happens and he tries to hide this from his family.

The series shows how a man fights for his family and how his family lives in his absence And all these things are performed in the form of comedy and extremely funny, how the man in the story is looking for the person who stole from him and trying to find him.

It had wonderful actors, especially the main family of the series, who worked very well.

It seems that another reason that made this series popular was that it showed the people themselves and their problems, and unfortunately, such series have become less.

Rich and low income
26 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The story of the series is interesting and thought-provoking, that a rich man falls in love with a woman who does not have a good financial situation.

Both men and women have children and grandchildren and want to marry each other, and the contrast between these two families is very interesting.

The family of the man who is rich looks at the woman's family in a different way and her family is relatively happy and wants to improve their situation.

The story continues on an interesting path and in the meantime someone steals from the man and his situation gets messed up and the woman's family helps him to get his right back.

To a good extent, the series was able to show a part of the class difference and the confrontation between a rich and low-income family and convey this important message to the audience that those who are richer are not necessarily good people Or that those who have little income are not necessarily uneducated and bad, but money will be a bad measure to measure people.

The series itself was a comedy and very funny and it was successful in this field, the actors played very well.

A bad time travel
25 October 2023
First, I must say that it had a really bad and sad ending, but it was an opportunity for the series to continue in the second season, which unfortunately did not happen, and we judge the series based on that single season.

The main theme of the series was very interesting, that two friends find a means to travel in time and one of them travels in time and even falls in love.

Another interesting feature of the series was that it only had the opportunity to go back and forth between times a few times, and this limitation made it more attractive.

When I see the surprise of the main character, how the atmosphere of the city has changed over the years, or new words have been invented, or meeting people who have greatly increased in age, I felt excited.

The system of lords and serfs
25 October 2023
The series itself is almost old now, but it is divided into two parts, present time and past time, and the series goes back and forth between these two times.

Our generation never saw The system of lords and serfs and did not understand how people lived at that time and what problems they had.

One of the historical points of the series was to show us that the lords could oppress the people if they wanted to.

The next point relatively showed us how women could be under a lot of pressure and problems, or how important having children was for a life at that time and how men had more power.

And how a woman who is the main character of the history of the series was able to fight for her life.

Another interesting point is that those problems and grudges continued over time and some people were looking for what happened in the past.

The series was very mysterious, terrifying and exciting, and at the time of its broadcast, it gained many fans among people.

The script of the series was well written so as not to leave any room for questions, and the actors played very well.

It showed well the things that people are afraid of
24 October 2023
One of the most important positive points of the book was not that it talked about things that people usually don't know much about and are afraid of.

The first thing that the series was based on is AIDS, the series showed us how to get infected with this disease and how to deal with it after realizing that one has this disease and how the society deals with it.

The next effective point is dealing with the person from whom one got AIDS and what problems they have.

The marriage of a boy who has never been married to a woman who is married, divorced and has children was interesting, as society usually shows very wrong and bad judgments in this matter.

But it showed how one person can have the courage to do this and the society should accept this.

Capital (2011– )

Family and life
24 October 2023
Although the name of the series was named based on the first season, but overall it was an interesting name.

One of the positive points of the series was that the tone, atmosphere of the series, family relationships and other details were different from the capital and dedicated to the north.

The series was really a comedy and was very successful in this field and made the audience laugh.

One of the most important points that made it successful was showing people's lives, I mean that it correctly shows the problems of common people, their way of life, jobs, family relationships, hardships and problems and other details, and this is what made this series become popular In the series, we had tragic moments, failure, crying and hardship, and these points were shown in the form of a comedy and had a great impact.

Another thing I liked was that this series had several seasons and I like that more Iranian series are made like this instead of single season series.

It was acceptable
22 October 2023
One of the things I liked about this series was that it was not necessarily a single season like most Iranian series and it continued.

Good actors were present in the series and played roles.

What was interesting to me was that the main villain was not necessarily all black and sometimes even fell in love.

But many positive characters were white.

Another funny point, which is usually rare in today's families, was the large age difference between siblings.

Sometimes you couldn't predict the series and sometimes you wanted what you predicted to happen and it happened like this.

The name of the series was well chosen.

black and white
22 October 2023
One of the problems of this series and a part of Iranian series in general is that they usually create black and white characters.

Some people are good and try to stay good and if there is a problem, they fix it, and some people are very bad and do ugly things.

And the story shows the good and bad events But in my opinion, writing such a script for this series that tries to show the society is not right at all When the script is like this, even the good acting of the actors will be shown badly and will not be pleasant at all.

The title song of the series is very beautiful and I enjoyed listening to it.

Good generalities, bad details
21 October 2023
The overall story was interesting and good, that it is about children who are orphans and live in an orphanage.

The first season was better and the children gave enthusiasm and hope to the series, but the further we went, the series became very bad.

Because the series was as if the main positive characters are angels and if they have a mistake, they can make up for it, and the bad acting of some actors made it worse.

In general, I have to say that although the main topic was interesting, it was not a good series.

Finally, I have to say that it would be better if the series was drawn in one direction, for example, it would be more romantic or more exciting, and this simplicity would be lost.
