After an absence from the Ramadan screen, the famous comedy series “Tash Ma Tash” returned in its 19th season, starring Saudi stars Nasser Al-Qasabi and Abdullah Al-Sadhan once more, to compete in the Gulf arena, and present to the audience heavy doses of satirical comedy, which discusses various social issues in Saudi society.
This return came following a number of distinguished experiences that this series succeeded in dedicating 30 years ago, to be the longest-lived ever in the history of Arab television business, and a sign in the career of the two Saudi stars in particular, despite the various stations and the various dramatic participations that each of them had during The period of their artistic separation, up to this year, to experience “Tash Al-Awda”, with which the audience evoked some memories of this “extraordinary comic meeting”, which remained engraved in the memory.
new ideas
“Tash Al-Awda” is the title chosen by the makers of the work that extends over 20 Ramadan episodes, to present new ideas through it, through which Al-Qasabi and Al-Sadhan tried to find a dramatic justification for their return to the audience, so the first episode, titled “Thunderbolt”, had a kind of “fantasy” character. Ma, given that it touched on the disappearance of the two friends “Abunzar” and “Abu Hazar” and their families for eight years, due to a thunderstorm that hit their car and led to everyone falling into a long coma, to be the smart dramatic solution adopted by the writer, to discuss the radical changes that occurred in Saudi society, and the attempts of his family to keep pace with the new era.
Multiple topics
In his new experience, “Tash Al-Awda” succeeded in presenting a variety of general topics and stories that are not devoid of a sense of comedy and wit that viewers are accustomed to seeing in this series, while some workshops succeeded in allocating a wide space to raise a number of current issues, benefiting from Some of the vocabulary of lived reality and people’s experiences in it, and perhaps the step of dealing with the power of the Internet, social media and its people, and redefining stardom in it in the “content seller” episode, or the “Men Migration” episode, is the most important evidence of this critical approach that the series engaged in discussing directly and boldly. To shed light on the collapse of contemporary taste and the decline of traditional media in favor of “content sellers”, Rahaf Al-Qahtani, who attended the eighth episode, entitled “Migration of Men”, also participated.
As for the third episode, entitled “Extortion”, it recorded public interest that returned to the participation of the retired Saudi star, Youssef Al-Jarrah, and shed light on a sensitive issue, which is the attempt of some girls to blackmail young men in various ways to achieve financial profit. While the penultimate episode, entitled “Shin B Wow”, which is taken from a real story, succeeded in discussing the issue of drugs and its impact on young people, in addition to many episodes that the two stars took turns presenting either together, or separately to highlight the remarkable difference in the fortunes of each of them. appearance and the extent of its success in attracting the interest of the public.
unbalanced
The episodes of “Tash Al-Awda” witnessed a noticeable difference in the level of ideas and the quality of the topics presented, while the two stars suffered from imbalance in presenting topics of equal size and importance, to the point where the audience felt that some episodes were written specifically for Nasser Al-Qasabi and wronged his partner Al-Sadhan, whom we saw many times. Almost absent or supportive of Al-Qasabi’s “pervasive” presence in the most important aspects of the work.
At a time when most of the episodes of “The Return” left a general impression of the two stars’ control over most of the events and the space of the actors, so many of them were absent, especially the new faces, as the experience of most of the supporting characters was not without some marginalization, due to the nature of the series, which bet exaggeratedly on the most important couple. While the work makers tried to preserve the glory of “Tash”’s previous successes and triumph over criticism and satire, in exchange for presenting contemporary ideas that benefit from the language of the era and what the public tends to.
Some workshops succeeded in allocating a wide space to raise a number of current issues.
