Since its release on November 5th;

"Beyond Nature", which was the first Egyptian series to be shown on the "Netflix" platform, and one of its original productions, sparked a lot of controversy that reached a state of division between a warm welcome on the one hand, and a severe attack on the other hand.

The praises had come to the makers of the work with the beginning of its presentation, and was not limited to viewers only, but also came from a large number of Egyptian and Arab stars and drama makers, expressing their happiness at the level that the series came out with, and the success of an Egyptian work to be shown on an international broadcast platform. And to top the observations in the region.

While some expressed his happiness at watching the series of novels by the late writer Ahmed Khaled Tawfiq, which he read in his teens and early youth, embodied in front of him in flesh and blood people, praising the acting, especially the performance of the work hero Ahmed Amin, who presented a completely different character from the comic characters that Distinguish it out.

But this last point was a broad chapter for attacking the work and its makers, for their failure to embody the image that has been entrenched in the minds of fans of the "Supernatural" novels over many years, and even viewers considered that the series offended this image, and benefited from the fame of the author Ahmed Khaled Tawfiq, nicknamed Ben His fans and his many loved ones are "the godfather", without adding him.

Tweeters described the wide echoes that the series achieved among viewers as a state of nostalgia for the past (nostalgia), and the desire of fans of the series to restore their memories through it.

Technically, the attackers found that Ahmed Amin's performance and the character in which he appeared came completely far from the character of Dr. Rifaat Ismail, while some considered that the plot was weak and unconvincing because the novels that the series embodied were written for teenagers and did not suit the mature and older audience, In addition to the naiveté of the graphic that the director used in the work, according to their description, the length of the dialogues, the narration and the use of complete quotes from the novels that seemed static in the scenes.

Evaluation

The division over "metaphysics" was only one source of the widespread controversy that the work created through social media. The controversy erupted again with the evaluation of the series on the IMDB site with a rating of 9.1 by nearly 10,000 votes, and it ranked 187, within The best 250 series in history on the site, and it soon came out of the list, which was attributed by the site to the voting directed through campaigns carried out by the work audience, which contributed to raising the evaluation of the work in contradiction with the conditions of transparency and credibility that the site adheres to.

After he was removed from the list, and the campaign declined, the series' rating decreased to 8.8.

Conditions .. responded to

Even before the show "Metaphysics", tweeters accused its director Amr Salama of provoking the audience by setting the conditions for viewing the work in a post he wrote on social media, in which he said: "Watching it legitimately and with the best quality, and on a fast Internet. I mean, whoever is able to find a way. On a large screen, not on a mobile phone or tablet, you can see it in a dark room and the volume is loud. The sound is a very important factor affecting the viewing experience.

He added: “I wish there was nothing left and side conversations and frustrated. We focus on people who are tired of being tired in every shot. Open up on Netflix, the Egyptian colloquial translation, for scenes in other languages, so you can read the translation. If you like the series, then expect early that this is an independent creative product for a second medium not It is 100% identical to the events of the novels, which I personally love from the softness of my nails. ”

In response to Salame's demand for the public to focus, viewers monitored mistakes that marred the work, all of which focused on specialized details, including medical and engineering, in addition to a number of other errors related to the time difference between the current reality and the period in which events are taking place, which is the year 1969.

Leaking

Another factor that placed "metaphysics" in the circle of controversy is the leakage of episodes of the series, and a number of websites displaying it, and a large segment of the public following it through these sites, causing a crisis for the producing company.
