The series showed life from two sides, namely that the financial situation divides people into two categories, where rich people do not take into account the poor and perceive them as animals that they can control and decide whether they live or die.

The series has many advantages. Colorful characters, visual, real scenery, musical accompaniment, talented actors, thoughtful details and much more.
