In fact this series is amazing in one word. Whenever I watch this series I am transported to another world. I forget that this is a documentary film. I feel like I have left the era of Yusuf (as). I don't know that era. How was it? And everyone's character has been developed in such a way that the whole thing seems to be real in this series.But in one word I would say this is the best documentary I have ever seen be it series or movie. A documentary about how life can change.
