Syrians Gripped By Grim Ramadan TV Series Alluding To Assad Dynasty

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan is being observed across the world, a new Syrian TV series has captivated viewers. “Ma La Waqt Laqat” (He Who Doesn’t Have Time Has Died) contains veiled references to the Assad family, who have ruled Syria for over 50 years, and has left audiences on the edge of their seats.

The show is set in a fictional town where a family struggles to survive under an oppressive regime, and has been praised for its realistic portrayal of ordinary Syrian citizens. However, critics have noted that the resemblances between the fictional regime and the Assad government are clear, with characters citing familiar slogans and political jargon.

Despite heavy censorship on Syrian media, “Ma La Waqt Laqat” has become a widespread sensation, its popularity fuelled by a sense of catharsis among many Syrians who have suffered under the dictatorship. It has sparked conversations online and on social media about Syria’s political past and present.

While the Syrian authorities have not commented on the series, it has received backlash from supporters of the regime. Some have accused it of stirring up division and inciting violence. Despite this, the show continues to captivate audiences and spark important discussions about Syria’s complex political landscape.

“Ma La Waqt Laqat” is not just another Ramadan TV series, but a cultural phenomenon that has rekindled a sense of hope amongst Syrian viewers. It has given a voice to those who have been silenced and contributed to a wider debate around Syria’s future.

The significance of this series is not only its ability to engage Syrian audiences but also its ability to inform the larger global community of the reality of living within a dictatorship. With an estimated 12 million Syrian refugees trying to find a new home and the wounds still needing healing, the audience’s response towards this series becomes more important as it contributes to the larger discussion on what can be done to create peace in Syria.
