The decision to recast characters, such as Dalia Shawky being replaced by Amira Adeeb and Khaled Anwar being replaced by Mohamed Mahran, brings fresh energy to the show. While viewers may find it initially challenging to accept these changes, the new portrayals breathe new life into the characters. Adeeb's take on Hend, focusing on her character's aspiration to be an actress, adds layers and charisma to the role.

W Bena Me3ad boldly dives into taboo topics related to parenthood, sparking meaningful conversations. From addressing underage exposure to pornography to questioning the right time for the birds and bees talk, the series fearlessly explores societal norms aligned with religious principles.

Issues in the First Episodes

Despite its strengths, the show's initial episodes are not without their hiccups. Amira's monologue, delivered with a morale-filled script, thankfully turned out to be a scene from a show her character supposedly leads! Also, the show's abrupt time jump, without a clear explanation, raises questions about the timeline and progression of relationships. This has left viewers seeking a recap of events since the first season's conclusion over a year ago.
