The best Middle Eastern show ever

[alimajki · 9/10 · 14 June 2021]

Darb al zalaq released in 1977 with 13 episodes.

The show had a small budget but the writing and the character development made the show a masterpiece.

After 45 years of its released date it is still famous and every year channels in the Middle East prod cast it ever year with improved version.

The director of the show planned to make a seasons 2 but due to budget the show was canceled.

Simplicity at its best

Although they didn't have that much resources and materials to have a luxurious set, this show is an icon in Middle East. One of a kind, and it will never be replicated.

It simply shows the transition of basic life to rich people lives and the greediness that followed. All in old fashioned comedic script. The plot and the frases used were so memorable that people in 2023 are still using some quotes, frases, and scenes as memes in daily life. But most importantly, the show depicted how the discovery of oil changed people's life and personalities.

Note: they filmed all episodes in 14 days only.

Best Show Ever

The show Darb Al Zalaq is a kuwaiti show and is one of the best shows I have ever watched. Personally I never really liked comedy shows but this show was the best show and entertainment I had ever watch. Even after 40 years of its release date it still gets ton of attention and the actors and actresses are immortalized and considered legends for their spectacular and terrific show. It is quite unfortunate that the show was not renewed for a second season but stills its first season is spectacular and amazing. This show is truly a masterpiece with all the elements needed to make this an amazing and legendary show.
