It’s giving off Taht El Wesaya’s vibe and we’re loving it. Even if you’re not usually into Lebanese drama, this one will hit differently. Just a couple of days ago, Salma premiered on TV, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most heartbreaking shows to watch, yet one that feels deeply enjoyable, powerful, and full of standout performances. Swipe left for a quick, spoiler-free review of the released episodes if you’re planning to tune in.
The story follows the struggle of a single mother who suddenly finds herself raising two young children on her own after the sudden disappearance — or maybe death (we still don’t know) — of her husband. What stands out most in these first episodes is without a doubt the acting.
From Maram Ali and Nicola Moawad — whose character’s arc seems set to unfold in surprising ways — to Takla Chamoun and Stephany Attala, every performance feels raw and convincing. Maram and Stephany in particular are showing us a whole new side of their talent, and it’s impossible not to be impressed.
Is it a tough watch? Absolutely. So yes, bring tissues. But if you’re looking for a drama that’s emotional, intense, artistic, and real in every detail, Salma is the perfect choice.
Are you watching Salma already or planning to start soon?
