The social story and the actors' performances... praise at first

Initially, the series "Rahma" received widespread acclaim for its social story that reflects contemporary issues and the skilled performances of its stars. The actors excelled in their roles, which led to the series gaining a wide following at the beginning of the season.

Criticisms of the bold scenes...the beginning of the controversy

As the episodes progressed, some scenes began to irritate viewers, particularly those between actor Haitham Miftah and actress Karima Ghaith. Many considered these scenes a departure from the norm in Moroccan drama, particularly in the portrayal of romantic relationships and intimate situations between the characters.

Social media reactions: Criticisms escalate Viewers' criticism of the series was not limited to social media, but also extended to art critics and media professionals, many of whom felt that the work perpetuated an unrealistic stereotype of Moroccan women, portraying some female characters as aggressive, capable of betrayal and murder with ease. They considered this a clear disregard for the psychological and human dimensions of the characters.

Defending the series: a bold move or controversy?

On the other hand, some viewers defended the show as a bold step toward breaking the traditional constraints that dominate Moroccan drama. They believed that boldness in its approach may be necessary to keep pace with societal developments, but at the same time, others questioned whether this boldness served the story or was merely a means to stir controversy and attract attention.
