📺 Montahy El Salaheya might keep us hooked from start to finish. At the center of this Ramadan offering is Mohamed Farrag’s compelling portrayal of Saleh, a bank employee whose life crumbles and spirals into something much darker — finding himself mixed up in a world of online gambling, deception, and forces far beyond his understanding and control.

Saleh’s life takes a devastating turn when he loses his job for discovering illegal activities being carried out under his manager’s supervision, potentially exposing darker corporate secrets. Simultaneously, his personal life disintegrates as his wife Habiba (Heba Magdy) grows distant, and his relationship with his daughter Farah (Jessica Hossam) deteriorates, plunging him into despair.

In his search for a way out, Saleh ventures into the world of online gambling, viewing it as a path to redemption and relief from financial constraints. But what begins as a desperate attempt to regain control over his life quickly evolves into something far more sinister than just a risky game.

We have high expectations: Mohamed Hisham Obeya’s impressive track record with acclaimed projects like Selat Rahim, Betloo’ El Rouh, 60 Daqiqa, and Wadi Al-Jinn sets the bar high. His signature blend of psychological tension and socially relevant conflicts almost guarantees an engaging watch. With Tamer Nady’s direction, the series is poised to achieve a cinematic quality that intensifies Farrag’s portrayal of a desperate man caught in a spiral of self destruction. Will it fulfill these expectations? Early signs suggest it will.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the show on Shahid or watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 1:58).
