Not everything needs to be sophisticated and intricate. I see Stiletto as the TV equivalent of junk-food, it's not very nutritious but it's a nice guilty pleasure. The plot is extremely drawn-out and needs to be significantly condensed. The actors were okay, I especially liked the performance of Falak (Dima Kandalaft) who commanded a very powerful presence on screen. Besides the acting, and mediocre writing, my major gripe with this series was the lack of originality in the screenplay and soundtrack, you see the same cuts, transitions and scenes repeated endlessly, with the same soundtrack blasting throughout, it gets so repetitive and made the series so hard to watch. I think Levantine drama could be so much better than Stiletto but nonetheless I still enjoyed the series.

Wonderful script and " chapeau bas " for some actors like Dima Kandalaft , Karess bashar and samer massri a bit slow yes i admit but it worths the watching too many episodes yes ,, they can be summed up to 30 or 40.

The show is great after all regardless any flaws and very slow motions in scenes most of times from the EP 01 to early 70s it shows so many mysteries and hidden secrets , some backgrounds.

The mystery of the crime never reveals unless all the suspects uncover their true faces and of course slowly unlike any other shows that finish up everything in the final episode and then it uncovers it all.

The whole show's purpose is to maximize the number of episodes. While this doesn't necessarily correlate with a bad thing, this show manages to create one of the worst shows I've ever scene. Nothing is realistic in this show. Falak is given extreme power and Alma's stupidity is beyond measure. If the silent moments were cut, the show would decrease to 20 episodes maybe. It has big name actors but the acting is sub par, except Falak. It's a headache to watch and it's an insult to the audience. No idea why these big name actors agreed to it. Writing, directing, acting is just a shame to be part of.

I think that this show certainly capitalises on suspense with great acting and a super cast. The Storyline is good and although the series could ne condensed, I appreciate that it has not been. I would highly recommend viewing.for the quality acting and suspensefolled plot. There are many hidden deprhs to each individual character and people and things are not always what they appear. I do not understand the poor reviews on this as i am absolutely loving this series and really look forward to each new episode. Watch for yourself and see what i mean and enjoy. I definitely recommend viewing of this series.

The show is absolutely trivial, superficial and illogical. It is an insult to peoples' minds. It fails on all levels

The characters' reactions slow and boring and inexplicable.

I just feel very sorry that such actors and actresses agreed to partake in such stupid show. I want to ask Badih, Qays, Samer, Karees, Carlos, Dema, Nada, and others, have you read the scenario? This show is shameful and huge step down!! Especially, Badih, Qays and Karees, I would like to ask, are you serious? How could you???

I am really surprised that producers need to stoop down to produce Turkish trivial drama in time the Syrian and the Lebanese drama and writers are great.

Let's talk a little about the unreasonable events of the show: First, these two women who are telling the story to the police: they are telling the events as if they were living with characters, as if they were inside their heads. Since it is impossible, then telling the story by these two women made the entire show laughable!! Second, Falak is given unrealistic powers! The character is unrealistic even for a fantasy story! Third, fourth, fifth, etc all about the poor writing, poor imagination, poor scenario, and poor acting.

I would like to say, stop following Turkish drama because it's very stupid and it makes you look stupid!

I usually never write reviews for anything, but I felt the need to write this review because I feel insulted as a viewer. Do the writers/directors think that little of their audience? Do you think we have zero logic? And these well known famous actors, how could you take on such bad script? The events make no sense at all. The people telling the story are not the main characters, dont live with the main characters, dont live inside the main characters heads. Nothing makes sense! For Falak's character, even the world leaders don't have such powers... This is such a joke. I stopped watching the show halfway because I truly feel insulted. Its as if the producers of the show think of me (as an audience) as someone with zero intelligence to follow such a ridiculous story line.

Crafted with precision, this drama series unfolds a rich tapestry of compelling narratives and nuanced characters. The superb ensemble cast delivers performances that resonate with authenticity, elevating the viewing experience. Each episode is a masterclass in storytelling, seamlessly blending suspense, emotion, and thought-provoking themes. Visually striking and intellectually satisfying, this series sets a high bar for contemporary television, ensuring an addictive journey for its audience. A captivating triumph in the realm of drama.

Like so much really all stars were amazing and very talented.

I wish there was less than 1 star to give for this show, The script unbelievably boring without any respect for the viewers, No single logic sentence, No one finished Scene because they just want to make more and more episodes, There's a big difference between a suspense and a tedious, silly pointless stretch.

Every sentence or seen in the show which can lead somewhere or make some actions in the events was stopped in the most silly way you can imagine.

Some of the characters in the show has so much negative energy like NOUR ALI, While it was not surprising because her acting in all previous roles was bad with same bad energy she give to the viewers, but the surprise was a good actor like DIMA KANDALAFT who was acting like she's making voice over while she's speaking her own language which felt so disgusting.

In short so bad show and not recommended at all to watch.

Kinda like watching a Lebanese version of desperate housewives. It's not the worst thing I've watched I've seen a lot worse. The main reason I came to review this is because of how frustrating it is just watching Alma. The character is so annoying I can't deal. I don't feel I want to even see the end because of how annoying her and Karim are. If it wasn't for the rest of the crew and the fashion in it I would have given up ages ago but I'm stil watching it in hope someone kills them both off. It's quite entertaining though in a frustrating kinda way. The overall film production is beautifully done and can't fault it at all.

Too long for a very basic story that could have been ended in 5 episodes. Killed my brain cells for sure. Overacting and exhaustingly long and silly I gave it 2 stars just for the effort they spent to make this overrated, basic and boring story. My only reason to watch to the end was out of curiosity and eager to the watch the finale and turn it out its even worse than the story it self. It's actually made me laugh so much at the level of nonsense that the show have. Not recommended to anyone to waste their valuable time and watch it trust me not worth it very fricking not worth your time at all.
