I have lived in places like Saudi which was pretty horrible, but never visited Iran. And after watching this depiction of a really depraved misogynistic society, I am very glad I didn't.
This production reminded me very strongly of another (series) about misogyny, namely, The Handmaid's Tale. I was struck with horror and disgust at the way in which Iranian women are treated by men, the drab crummy clothes they wear.
I don't think even in Saudi the concept of a "temporary marriage" exists, in which, typically, a young woman agrees to cohabit with an old man for a year or two in return for money. How disgusting.
The actors did a good job and the plot kept me guessing. I am not going to watch this again.
