Do you belong to the kind of people who think they are knowledgeable but in reality they are simple minded who gets manipulated easily by propaganda and untruthful media?
Do you believe in political and religious matters without doing enough investigation?
Do you suck in checking the reliability of sources?
Do you get horny when you hear the term "American Dream"?
If the answer for all the 4 questions is yes, then this series is guaranteed to be great for you. The only problem is that if you belong to this kind of people, you won't know it. Besides, it is clear that the writer of the story didn't do the slightest research which is unneeded due to the nature of most of the series fans.
First, never in the history of humanity, has Hezbollah and AL-Qaeda worked together. Al-Qaeda existed in the first place to annihilate Hezbollah and their followers. The war that is going on in Syria was most of the time between AL-Qaeda and Hezbollah. The war that took place recently in Lebanon was between AL-Qaeda and Hezbollah. The history between the 2 sides is full with nothing but war.
Second, Hamra street in Lebanon is a beautiful and touristic town. It is not what they showed in this series. Hezbollah control is none in this area, none. Even the areas where Hezbollah has presence are too far away from Hamra. The chance of seeing a gun in this town is too rare. This town is only controlled by Lebanese general security. It's even rare to see a hand fight in this area.
Third, Lebanese don't speak Arabic like the rest of the Arabs. That's a known fact to anyone who did a few seconds search on google about this. Lebanon speak an accent which uses informal Arabic, little to none formal Arabic, and a mishmash of English and French which make the Lebanese accent a bit difficult to understand for other Arabs. The accent spoken by the actors who are supposed to be Lebanese in this series is not even close to Lebanese.
Forth, the Lebanese you showed in the series are not even a close presentation of Lebanese neither in the way they dress, speak, nor look like.
In the end, not every one who liked this series is like I described. So in conclusion, good and enjoyable series to watch during lunch for those who are just looking for adrenaline moments regardless of their beliefs. But epic and legendary for those who belong to the category I just described.
score 1/10
