'Thicker Than Water' Review: Netflix crime-thriller promises chilling, mind-bending, and unpredictable plot
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Netflix series, 'Thicker Than Water', seems to be a suspenseful criminal drama about four ladies, who fall into a trap. Family comes first, and the central subject of the series is how the ladies' families are saved. The series, 'Thicker Than Water', explores the depths of human feelings with extraordinary empathy in order to highlight catharsis, consciousness, and supporting individuals.
Release of repressed feelings is referred to as catharsis, and it may be soothing and helpful for people to get over stress and trauma and this is beautifully depicted in the series. Nevertheless, as we see how the plot is made compelling by one's loving, caring, selfless, and protective attitude for their family members, things begin to seem reasonable. It is one od the best aspects in the series as it also shows the audience the importance of filial love.

‘Thicker Than Water’ is a Netflix series with great performances and was developed by Nawell Madani and Simon Jablonka. In the series, we see that in a dominant and patriarchal environment, four very different but strong women attempt to show that they are capable of surviving and triumphing. They are all members of Muslim families, who value their family over others irrespective of what ensues.
The series revolves around the female lead protagonist, Fara, who almost loses her job after revealing the 24 News channel's false news technique. As a result, her family supports her and advises her to be strong and have faith in God. Further, the four ladies come up with a solution when Selim has a difficulty, not realising that a more significant issue is about to arise.
A chilling, mind-bending and unpredictable journey
'Thicker Than Water' guarantees a compelling story that keeps one engrossed in both the character-related events and the personal lives of these characters. It combines elements of drama, entertainment, an impeccable narrative, desire, and surviving the onslaught of terror. We are taken through the various facets of these women's life in four episodes. So let's shed some light upon the lives of these women so you could understand the storyline better. Fara, the lead character and a hapless reporter on the ground, who eventually becomes a news anchor in the series, is intelligent and self-assured but needs to get along with her coworkers in order to gain their respect.
On the other hand, when Souhila's husband died, she was involved with an abundance of charity and spiritual endeavours. She is a single parent struggling to make ends meet for her two children, Imene and Lina. Karim is Yasmine's husband, and the couple has two boys. Despite the mental strain, she strives to manage her household despite the fact that she is unhappy in her marriage. We would also like to highlight that despite having distinct personalities and leading quite different lifestyles, each of them makes it a point to come together with their mother and celebrate their holidays.
Family loyalty and feminine power
The ladies will go to extreme lengths to save their families, and the show makes it very obvious that family connections and relationships are still sacrosanct, regardless of whether it is the holy month of Ramadan. If you want to understand how professional women are portrayed on TV or OTT platforms, the series is worth your time. Overall, 'Thicker Thanhan Water' is created in n effort to be a proper nail-biter series yet, in many aspects, comes off as being full of feelings of filial love.
