? Revenge is the key ingredient in this popular drama. Noqta Soda quickly rose to the top of Shahid’s most-watched list almost as soon as it hit the platform — and with good reason, too. This gripping drama’s storyline focuses on how the retirement of a company's patriarch ignites a power struggle, with murderous consequences.
The series starts off at the Al Siofi family’s annual company celebration, where the whole family has gathered to hear who the head of the family, Mokhtar Al Siofi (Ahmed Bedier), has decided will take over the company after him. In a shocking move, the family patriarch chooses his nephew Omar (Ahmed Fahmy) over his son Ali (Ahmed Magdy), deeming Ali too soft and irresponsible to take over.
Later on in the celebration, a woman interrupts Omar's speech by accusing him of tricking him into loving her and then abandoning her. This prompts Ali’s wife — Fayrouz (Sara Salama) — to go to the bathroom, where she finds a dead woman. Thus begins the unravelling of a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal woven throughout the Al Siofi family, leaving the viewer questioning who to trust.
The cast boasts an impressive roster, including Ahmed Fahmy, Nahed El Sebai, Ahmed Magdy, Wafaa Amer, Samah Anwar, Ahmed Bedeir, Nahed Rushdi, Hoda El Etreby, and Sara Salama. What makes this series even more special is that it includes scenes featuring the late Nahed Rushdi and Ashraf Abdelghafoor before their untimely passing.
You’ll have to really focus with this one. The acting is underwhelming and some characters lack the authentic natural reactions necessary for an audience to sympathize with characters. There are also some moments or scenarios that seem a bit exaggerated.
On the more positive side, the suspense in this show is real, with some twists and turns that’ll keep viewers on the edge of their seat. You might not root for any of the characters, but if you like shows like Succession or Dynasty, you’re likely to find this similarly entertaining.
WHERE TO WATCH- You can catch the series on Shahid or watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:13).
