Reviews

Critical reception of Fereshteh's Sin has been largely mixed to negative, as reflected by its IMDb rating of 3.1/10, indicating a generally low audience approval. Critics have pointed to the series' slow pacing and at times convoluted narrative structure as major drawbacks. Some reviews on platforms like IMDb criticize the show for lack of character development and insufficient plot progression, with users describing it as 'disappointing despite high expectations' and 'struggling to maintain viewer interest.' However, a few positive notes have been highlighted, particularly regarding Shahab Hosseini's performance, which several critics acknowledge as a strong point amid weaker elements of the script and direction. Professional critiques from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are limited, as the series has a smaller international footprint, but discussions in Iranian media suggest that while the series attempts to tackle heavy themes, it falls short in execution, leading to polarized audience reactions. Overall, Fereshteh's Sin is seen as a challenging watch that may resonate with viewers interested in morally intricate dramas, though it may not meet the standards expected by a wider audience.
