During the holy month of Ramadan, social media focused on the negative aspects of all the series that were shown, and no work escaped criticism. Viewers turned into critics and analysts. At the forefront of the works that were criticized were "Sira Al-Imam," "Sareh Al-Bata" and in the second half, "Talt El-Talata."

In fact, most of the works this year fell into the trap of time, as if it weren't for the haste in writing "Sira Al-Imam" series, it could have been the best thing presented this year. The haste and lack of accuracy in historical references required it to be presented to experts in history, as some of our great writers used to do, because it is not reasonable for someone who reviewed the series in Al-Azhar to not know that in the second century AH, there were no dialects like the colloquial language, and by reviewing the Islamic history in Egypt, we will discover that the language of the Quran was "Fusha" and "Coptic" in some regions, not all.

Not to mention the poetry verses attributed to Al-Shafi'i, which were actually written by a Syrian poet. However, the series as a whole reached the people with the brilliant performance of Khaled El-Nabawy and the direction of the creative Laith Hajjo.

Here we come to the director Khaled Youssef, who received the lion's share of criticism. As I mentioned in several interviews, he believes that he resorted to literature and drew inspiration from a short story by the great writer Yusuf Idris "Sareh Al-Bata" to make a historical work. The only mistake, in my opinion, was not in the accessories or the focus of some on a Tunisian presenter, but in the presentation. Of course, Khaled Youssef would say, "This is my vision. I am the director," "On my head and my eyes," but it was not successful, and that is the use of the flashbacks in this way and presenting them through a modern and contemporary vision. Every time Mahmoud Qabeel, Ahmed Fahmy, Reem Moustafa, or Hussein Fahmy spoke, there was a division in the vision that made it difficult to quickly transition to history. Nevertheless, "Sareh Al-Bata" was a good work and had a wonderful performance by Ahmed El-Saadani, Hala Sedky, Hussein Fahmy, Mahmoud Qabeel, Ahmed Fahmy, and Hanan Motawea. It was a case that stirred up a great controversy as an artwork, not as its director says that it is his name that creates the controversy.

Before Ramadan, there was a lot of controversy surrounding Mona Zaki and her veil, and when the first episode of the series "Tahet El-Wasaya" was shown, Mona Zaki was trending. I expected that because of her talent and because the writers of this work, Alaa Diab, have the talent for writing, directing, and photography. Mona Zaki, Diab, Ahmed Khaled Saleh, Rashdi Al-Shami, Noha Abdeen, Khaled Kamal, Tharaa Gebail, Ali Al-Tayeb, and the creative Ahmed Shaker Khudair, were a cast carefully chosen for their roles. It was a wonderful social and human idea that reached people from the first episode. Mona Zaki deserves to be appreciated after an attack that we do not know the reason for.

These few lines cannot cover everything that was shown, but I hope that the talented artist Ahmed Mekky will review himself in "El-Kabeer”. I know very well that Ahmed Mekky, the talented artist, will review himself in "Al-Kabeer Awei" (The Great Father) series. I am aware that he will present the last episode about football and it will receive a lot of admiration. However, the viewers may forget that most of the episodes of the series were improvised and lacked memorable events or basic drama.
