Highest viewing rate...a purposeful message and a “genius” performance by the heroes

A simple girl, despite her age being well beyond adolescence and on the verge of thirty, she is still a young dreamer who lives in her imaginary world that she created as an escape from a society that looks at her harshly because of something that was not of her will, which is not getting married until this age. She faces harsh words even from those closest to her. People turned to her, she was satisfied with her situation and surrendered and was content only with moments of imagination or identification with a Turkish series whose events she would not see or live a minute of except through the small screen with which she united with all her senses in order to be absent from the real reality, until something happened that changed her life upside down, for her to transform from a girl. Innocent to a person who chases after views and likes and does anything in exchange for money to get rid of poverty and need, amid the absence of parental control and clear ignorance of life matters due to lack of experience, and the result was tragic.

The problems of social media are brilliantly embodied in the highest viewership This was the dose of director Yasmine Ahmed Ali, which continued over the course of 15 episodes in the series “Highest Viewing Rate”, The Black Horse of Ramadan, and won the bet with clear superiority, as it received wide praise and admiration from the audience, who confirmed that it was a new story, a tight plot, and a purposeful and clear message that embodied... Societal reality.

The problem of Tik Tok and the ease of making money through it is a problem of the era that TV series do not pay much attention to, so the highest viewership rate comes and presents a real message that shows us the other side of girls who are involved in immoral issues due to the immoral actions they do to collect money from this application, as it is a quick way. For a person suffering from poverty and need, once he sees gains, it is as if he saw a treasure that blinds his eyes and paralyzes his mind.

The series showed us well the other side of the TikTok girls who make transgressive videos, which was embodied in the character of “Shaima,” the heroine (Salma Abu Deif), who, as soon as society sees the true model of her, condemns her as “promiscuity” and despises her. We saw why some girls reached that point. And how the environment in which she grew up, her simple education, and the pressures of the need for money and the need for containment could ultimately lead her to the prison of bars and the prison of society as well in the image of the immoral girl.

Huge praise for the series and its idea

Quick events devoid of length and length, and some works were not as naive in that they embody the amount of luxury and comfort that a person who does wrong can enjoy, and then the punishment is limited to the final episode only, so we did not see that the heroine was living in prosperity because of money and then the punishment came. Surprisingly, in the last episode, as some authors and directors say, this series was different. We find in every episode that a mistake has a punishment, even if it is psychological. It is embodied in torment of conscience, tension, and psychological anxiety without enjoying the money. The heroine, Salma Abu Deif’s ignorance of many things in life. It makes her not understand what she is doing and follows those who exploit her, so she never feels comfortable since she entered that circle.

The scenario of the series was based on a set of real facts about many famous “blogger” girls in Egypt. Those who ended up in prison, and those who follow the episodes will find similarities between many of the scenes and real stories.

Brilliant performance of actors Shaima, who was brilliantly embodied by the artist Salma Abu Deif, makes the viewer feel confused in front of her, between sympathy or that she deserves to be punished, as she is not a leadership character, who lets life take her by the wayside. The artist was able to embody the character in an impressive, natural way in terms of the way she speaks, which shows that she is a popular girl with an average education. The innocence in her eyes, which was not changed by the cruelty of events, is revealed when she talks to her friend “Sahar” and tells her that she could not believe herself in joy because people knew about her, even her official account on social media, which was created by her friend “Sahar.”

Salma Abu Deif cannot be distinguished from “Shaima”. Although Salma was known to be a girl from the class that is classified as a class, she came out of her personality brilliantly to move to the popular character of Shaima, simply without exaggeration. She talks exactly like Tik Tok girls. Which made the audience describe her as “wonderful” and that “the role was up to her.”

And with other ingenuity, came the character of the charismatic Nesma (Laila Zaher), who from the first moment you see her you can't help but hate her. She is a selfish and conniving sister, a natural product of poverty and the desire to get rich at any cost, and we as viewers continue to hate her until the moment comes in which she opens her heart and discovers that she... She became what she was because of the differential treatment and understanding of the psychological circumstances that made her that way, so the feeling towards her changed from hatred to pity for what she had become. Laila embodied the problems of an entire generation that became narcissistic and had psychological distortions due to the upbringing of the family, the surrounding circumstances, and the dream of false wealth.

As for the mother played by Intisar, she gave acting lessons in this role that make the viewer wonder how she became so realistic and real. She is an example of an uneducated mother whose thoughts are limited to that her children only need money, so she pursues it without thinking for a moment that her daughters need emotional containment. She separated them. In being treated with extreme ignorance, she created a psychological barrier and jealousy between the children. She throws harsh words and considers her daughter a spinster, out of fear for her and encouraging her to marry, but she does not know that this will have the opposite result. Intisar used looks and even the most subtle expressions to be that mother and embody her well, and despite the fact that Intisar’s role It is considered secondary, but in it she became the star of the first part of Ramadan. She also had a scene taught in court at the time her daughter was sentenced to prison after the videos circulated, as her looks were deep and carried a thousand meanings.

In the end, it remains that the most important thing that distinguished director Yasmine Ahmed Kamel in this work is the simplicity of telling the story, placing the viewer in the story, and creating a sense of mystery by using an event from the future before the “tetras” at the beginning of each episode of the series.

In addition to the dim lighting fixtures most of the time, because the dark and gloomy place creates a feeling of fear and poverty, and in contrast to that, the places where Camellia and Tariq lived, this parallel world to the lives of Shaima and Nesma, were vibrant and created a more wonderful environment.

As for the artist Mohamed Mahmoud, the audience called him “I think a father in 2024,” after he appeared in the series with this title. He was able to embody the feelings of a father who devotes all his time to bringing in money so that he can keep up with life. He treats his girls with tenderness. He was aware enough that he He bears responsibility for what his daughters have become and their resort to Tik Tok, and this was well demonstrated in the scene in which he was creative in court in pleading his daughter Shaima’s case.

The role of the older sister, Farah Youssef, was also admirable because she discusses a problem of a different kind than Tik Tok. She is a girl who gets married in a normal marriage and then discovers her husband’s bad behavior, but she is forced to bear it, especially after she became the mother of a child who is still in his early years, so she endures constant insult and bad behavior. The treatment is for fear that she will be divorced and return to her family again with her child.

With the end of the series, this group received great admiration for the message it presented, and took advantage of the influence of art on minds by providing sermon lessons that might prevent disasters.
