The Syrian War has been going on for almost eleven years now. It has caused over half of Syria’s population to flee their homes and become displaced persons. The tragedy of the war continues to unfold every day, with news of another civilian casualty or another village left uninhabitable.

This Syrian show revolves around life in Syria during the war and its tragic aftermath, following several characters as they struggle with the aftermath of war and try to find peace once again in their lives and homes. This article lists some of the top Syrian series dramas you can watch online right now.



History of Syrian Series and Syrian Drama

Syrian TV industry is one of the oldest in the Arab world; it has been producing drama shows since the 1960s. However, it has never really managed to attract much international attention, and the Syrian series have never really made it to the top of the world’s most popular shows. This all changed, however, in 2012 with the start of the Syrian civil war. The conflict in the country, which has so far resulted in over 400,000 deaths and over 6 million displaced persons, has also resulted in a rise in the popularity of the Syrian series. Syria’s instability has resulted in many talented actors and directors fleeing the country. This has resulted in many of them making their way to other countries and looking for opportunities in the film and drama industries there. This has resulted in a huge increase in demand for Syrian series and drama shows in countries like Turkey, Egypt, and Lebanon.

  • Salloum Haddad
