First Episodes Findings: 4 Reasons Why ‘Montahy El Salaheya' Is Promising
The second half of Ramadan is kicking off on a high note, with several productions that seem worth binge-watching in the final two weeks. At the top of this list is 'Montahy El Salaheya,' which has already aired two episodes—but why is it standing out? Here are four reasons why it feels so promising.
Mohamed Farrag's Special Performance
It's not always easy to judge an actor's performance from the first glance, but with Farrag, it's a different story. From the very first episodes, the emotions he delivers have already set the stage for what's to come. His characters promise depth, and his performance makes it clear.
A Tale of Betrayal and Mistrust
We don't want to jump to conclusions just yet, but it feels like this story is about to take us on a rollercoaster of unexpected twists, betrayal, and mistrust. Whether it's the mystery behind what first landed Saleh's character in trouble or the tension brewing between his best friend and ex-wife, there's a lot unfolding beneath the surface—and we can't wait to see where it leads.
Adequate Spaces for Interesting Characters
While many dramas tend to focus heavily on the main star, this one takes a different approach. In our view, it strikes a smart balance, giving each character the space they need while still allowing the main character's journey—both their rise and struggles—to take centre stage organically.
Hooking Hints About Online Gambling
This storyline is set to unfold a lot within its 15-episode run, but as hinted in the early episodes, the theme of online gambling is already proving to be a serious and relevant issue—especially among younger generations. With that in mind, the series is expected to spark important conversations around the topic, bringing it into the spotlight for deeper discussion.
