#Yal_Saleh, a very bad link to the people of the South. He knew about them with generosity, good morals, and good handling. All that was presented in this episode is nothing but lying and slander on the people of the South, and they do not underestimate the rest of the tribes. - Abu Abdul Aziz (@ subhi1212) April 3, 2020 |
By God, will you respond to mbc heritage, morals or generosity !! |

Technical criticism
On the artistic side, "Ayal Saleh" received a wave of criticism by describing the series as an abuse of art, taste, and poor acting performance, as the father speaks the dialect of the people of Najd, and the mother tongue of Bahraini, while the rest of the actors speak with mixed dialects, which shows the lack of professionalism of the director in reviewing dialects.
First, the dialect of the people of the south does not pronounce the word "children" in this way |
As for the design of the battles, he seemed weak to the degree of naivety, and the actors' lack of mastery in the performance of the armed battles, by presenting weak scenes of shooting, which increased the quality of the dramatic work.
