Here& #39;s my short, no spoilers review of @wearechurails
Tune back into this tweet a couple of hours later when I will rant about the show complete with spoilers in a thread below. But for now, go watch!
Okay folks. Hours have past and it& #39;s time for a spoiler filled review please look away if you haven& #39;t binged the series yet

Let me start by saying that the episode with Sarmad + Sania was very unnecessary in how it ended. Like listen, I& #39;ve read about womxn making https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">

saalan from their husbands, but the cases I read about invovles the men lusting after their daughters. Kind of like Batool& #39;s case. So that justifies it. But in this case it felt kind of homophobic + very unncessary because he& #39;s shown as this very

considerate husband + tbh like it& #39;s been 20 years why do you even care now who he fucks. A better way to go about it, I feel in my not so humble opinion as a writer with no screenwriting experience, would be to have Sania expose Sarmad, let him get

arrested. This way, wife gets revenge and the plot twist of the churails being revealed also happens. You& #39;re welcome.
Another thing that bugs me is Sarah like behen how do you go from feeling betrayed to running back into Jamil& #39;s arms ummm hello?

Yes, I get it. Wives stay with cheating husbands for money + kids but like it contradicts the premise of the show?? Also it was super annoying how everytime the show shifted attention to another churail + interest started building around the churail, they& #39;d

shift back to Sarah. Like ffs i get it she& #39;s the wife of a powerful politician but ffs let the other characters have the spotlight.
Also could& #39;ve done without the casual sexism, racism/colourism, homophobia

Also someone rightly pointed out that the whole beauty cream thing didn& #39;t really work out. Like my main problem with this show is how half baked all the plot lines are. Felt very forced/randomly slapped together for sensational effect. For example

Ifti says whoever got mehak pregnant will pay, how does Jamil pay exactly??? He doesn& #39;t have a frezer+basement in his house?? Also how does Jamil kill Mehak, what exactly happened, why does KK keep the kid instead of sending the kid off into

the spiral of random adoptions??? Also explain the point of the shoes who& #39;s shoes are those? See, it& #39;s all sensational but doesn& #39;t do jack shit for helping me invest in the story.

Also Omair Rana is there like wow how perfect that a sexual psychopath is portrayed by an actual predator???? Also like all of 75 womxn Jamil pursued were they hook ups or kidnappings?
Jamil is supposed to be a main villain but he& #39;s there superficially, his

story isn& #39;t properly developed. Maybe they& #39;ll write better in season 2. Also i like how Batool denies him knowledge of his children while he& #39;s locked up. Also ship Batool and the cop (who& #39;s name wasn& #39;t mentioned that much). Also really wish the other folks/

Churails were given more screentime. I love baby doll and Batool& #39;s lesbian jail friends.
Also why do none of the womxn have periods? Or why can& #39;t we know a lil bit more idk man it just feels lacking i know it& #39;s ten episodes but still im being picky

i do appreciate how things start and end with Jamil. Again I wish KK and Jamil& #39;s relationship was explained more. Also Ifti& #39;s role in the animal club. And his past wives. It& #39;s a show about womxn written by men obviously it& #39;s gonna lack

I loved Nimra Bucha& #39;s acting. Like she makes up for the lack of character development/writing with her acting by giving Batool a fucking banger personality with gestures and everything like shit man.

THIS SHOW NEEDS TO HAVE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Too much gore, self harm (which also felt unnecessary), etc. Also don& #39;t hate me i love eman suleman as much as the next person but i felt her acting was meh as was her role??? Yeah she looks like Nimra Bucha& #39;s
