In the last Ramadan season, the Egyptian drama presented two series about Upper Egypt, its people and its customs in a dramatic form, namely, “The Strangers’ Seed, starring Ahmed El-Sakka, Amir Karara, Mai Omar, and the series “Mousa” starring Muhammad Ramadan, Sumaya al-Khashab, and Sayed Ragab. However, the two actions were not achieved. The expected success, especially at the critical level, as critics believed that the two series, especially “the seed of strangers,” did not truly express Upper Egypt and its people.

The “descendants of the strangers” dealt in a blatant context with the hostility of a family named the strangers, as disputes escalate between cousins ​​to reach murder and imprisonment, so the Assaf al-Gharib family is exterminated by his cousin Ghufran al-Gharib, and so does Assaf with the Ghufran family and kills them all, and because Assaf (Ahmad al-Saqqa) ) A very cruel person is arrested to spend 20 years in prison, escaping forgiveness from his crime with his wits, and Assaf is released after spending time to take revenge on his cousin Ghufran who succeeds in marrying Assaf Jalila's wife (Mai Omar) and divorces her from him during his imprisonment, so the two men wrestle over Jalila's heart ;

To continue the raging conflict between the two men to burn with his fire all.

On the critical level, some described the series “Nassal Al-Strangers” as disappointing expectations, as they believed that it would be higher in terms of technical and directorial and star representation, but its level was modest and not expressive of the lives of the people of Upper Egypt. .

Artificial condition

Regarding the series “Naseel Al-Ghurab”, critic Ola Al-Shafei said: “There is an artificial situation in the work that is reflected in the performance of the work and the actors and the most losers are Al-Sakka and Karara, and we can describe the series as the Ramadan series of hustle and bustle, and the work is not without bad, beginning with a director. The work, which I blame and ask him an important question, which is how to have stars like Amir Karara and Ahmed Al-Sakka, and the result is so bad? ”, Noting that“ there are other problems in the clothes of the heroes, especially the clothes of Amir Karara or Ghufran, who I do not consider what he wears is understandable. As for Mai Omar, her appearance in complete makeup at work and in all of her filming scenes was illogical. ”

For her part, the critic Hanan Shoman described the “seed of strangers” as “the series of loud looks. The good actor at work is Diab and the artist Ferdous Abdel Hamid. It is strange that most of the actors are supposed to perform Saida characters, and some of them are criminal characters who appeared in unworthy teeth. (The Hollywood Smile) except for Al-Sakka ».

And she continued, "The real loss of costs that was placed in the series, I think everyone lost in this work."

A struggle against the English

As for the series "Musa", it revolved around the forties in Upper Egypt about Musa's struggle against the British, and his struggle against his sister (Shafiqa), whom her husband falsely accuses in her honor. Moussa is committed to washing his shame and killing his sister, who runs away and chases her through the episodes of the series until the end.

Viewers and critics praised the series.

Critic Ahmed Al-Najjar said: “Writing in the series was better than in previous years, despite the fact that events are expected like a number of previous works presented by Muhammad Ramadan, who this year presents the same acting performance, but it is to be counted that there is an effort expended in some scenes.” .

He added, "There are stars who performed well, including Sabri Fawaz, Sayed Ragab, Arifa Abdel Rasoul and Hiba Magdy, and I see this work as complete, except for the scene of the late artist Ismail Yassin, which I consider has nothing to do with the work."

• "Musa" revolved around the 1940's in Upper Egypt about the struggle of the hero of action against the British.

Effort expended

The critic Ahmed Al-Najjar considered that «the series Musa has an effort in all respects, both the direction in which the talent was crystallized and the talent of director Muhammad Salama was clarified, as well as the filming, costumes, dialogue and lighting came to a great deal of coherence», indicating that the Upper Egypt series this year did not really express the level of Upper Egypt. And his family as much as expected.

Ola El Shafei:

• "The appearance of Mai Omar in the series" Offspring of Strangers "with complete makeup in all of her filming scenes is illogical.

Ahmed al-Najjar:

• «Writing in the series Musa was better than in previous years, although events are expected.
