bad series... actually please don' try again to make
senek-3137318 August 2023
Unfortunately, I must agree with you that "Pedar Goardiola," directed by Saeed Nematolah, has several issues in terms of both direction and writing. While the concept behind the series is interesting, the execution falls flat due to poor pacing and lackluster storytelling. The plot feels disjointed at times, making it difficult for viewers to fully engage with the characters or become invested in their struggles. Additionally, some of the dialogue comes across as forced and unnatural, which detracts from the overall believability of the narrative. As a result, the show can feel more like a soap opera than a compelling drama. Overall, "Pedar Goardi" may have had potential but ultimately fails to deliver on its promise due to subpar direction and writing.

the worsted series in history
sepib-7589518 August 2023
Sorry to the fans of the "Father Guardiola" series, as an expert writer, I will criticize this series. In my opinion, despite the efforts of the creators to create an interesting and unique story about the leading role's life, the series has not been able to meet my expectations.

One of the main problems of this series is the lack of depth in the story. In all episodes, it has been shown that he was a footballer in the past, but it has not been fully explained how he achieved this position and how he brought football with him. In addition, the supporting characters have not been fully designed and their connection to the main story seems weak.

Another point that is evident in this series is the discrimination among the characters. While Father Guardiola has been portrayed as one of the main characters, the other characters in the film have not been turned into interesting and attractive characters and have not played a special role in the story.

Finally, considering the above reasons, it seems that the "Father Guardiola" series has failed to be recognized as a reputable and prominent work in Iranian cinema. However, if you are looking for entertainment and want to spend your leisure time, you can watch another series.

Wasted time and money . Bad series in cinema
Rahajaberi15 September 2023
Pedar Goardiola, an Iranian TV series about poverty in Iran, is undoubtedly one of the worst productions in the history of Iranian television. The poorly written script, unconvincing acting, and shoddy direction have resulted in an insipid and tedious viewing experience.

One of the biggest issues with the show is its lack of authenticity when portraying the lives of those living in poverty in Iran. The show falls short of depicting the harsh realities of poverty and instead relies on stereotypes and clichés, making the characters come across as one-dimensional and unrealistic.

Furthermore, the poor quality of the acting performances adds insult to injury. The actors appear to be reading their lines rather than becoming fully immersed in their roles, making it hard for the audience to connect with the characters or feel any empathy towards them.

However, the most significant flaw in Pedar Goardiola is the incompetent directing. Scenes are poorly lit, the camera work is shaky and inconsistent, and the show lacks any hint of pacing or momentum, which makes it incredibly frustrating to watch.

All in all, Pedar Goardiola is a poorly executed attempt at raising awareness about poverty in Iran. The show is an insult to the audience's intelligence and an embarrassment to Iranian television. So, in conclusion, I do not recommend watching this series.

The actors act very well
mj_irani18 September 2023
The actors (Mehran Modiri, Mehdi Soltani, Siamak Safari, Setareh Eskandari, Hengameh Ghaziani, parivash Nazarieh, Mehdi Juleh) perform very well and the direction is also good, But I do not like the guardiola's(hamid Farrokhnejad) performance.

I suggest you watch this series.

It is one of the best performances of Mehran Modiri in this series, which gives the audience a good feeling in certain situations.

The most important feature of this series is its arrangement right in the story.

At the end of each episode, you feel the story go forward.

The drama is one of the advantages of this series.

It is one of the best series in Iran.

so Terrible
pixode-4587418 August 2023
I found "pedar goardiola " to be a disappointing watch. The show had great potential with its intriguing premise but failed to deliver on many levels. The storyline was convoluted and hard to follow at times, with too many subplots that didn't add up to anything significant. The characters were underdeveloped and lacked depth, making it difficult to care for their struggles. The pacing was slow and uneven, with long stretches of boring scenes that dragged out the runtime unnecessarily. The acting was mediocre overall, with some performances feeling forced or over-the-the-top. The production values were also lackluster, with cheap-looking sets and costumes looking dated and unconvincing. Overall, "pedar goardiola " is a forgettable watch that fails to live up to its promise despite having an interesting concept.saeed nematloah just kidding about cinema .. this series is one the terrible show in history.

Fantastic, professional, the best
asadideliya1 September 2023
This is the best series in the history of Iran I really do not understand people who give negative points.

Of course, Mr. Madiri has many enemies and competitors, and maybe the competitors spend money in an unethical way to spray this movie Anyone who has seen four high level foreign films will understand what I am talking about I haven't seen a good Iranian movie in a long time I think this movie is two or three levels higher than the skin of a lion In general, Lion's Skin was a good movie Goardiula's father it is much better.

I'm sorry for the city dwellers and the illiterate people, for whom the movie made by kindergartens means lost dignity is beautiful, but this super movie is the best and because they don't understand it, they say give it, please don't comment here, go to the same Nini site to comment.

It was really bad and disappointing
ehsanaslani-7316919 December 2023
"It was a really bad show," I thought to myself as I sat through each episode. The primary issue that stood out to me was the excessive use of superstars. While having well-known actors can add value to a production, this show seemed to rely solely on star power to draw in viewers. Unfortunately, this focus on celebrities couldn't make up for the major flaws in the storyline.

The storyline, or lack thereof, was the show's biggest downfall. It was a tangled mess that seemed to have been thrown together haphazardly. Scenes and events unfolded in a way that left me scratching my head, wondering how they were connected or why they even existed in the first place. It felt like the writers had lost their way, resulting in a narrative that made no sense at all.

Overall, this TV show was a missed opportunity. Despite its star-studded cast, it failed to deliver a coherent and engaging storyline. Instead, it left me frustrated and wishing for more substance. If you're looking for a show with depth and a compelling plot, I would recommend giving this one a pass.

different from the usual series of these days
saztag22 August 2023
Series with many details, different from the usual series of these days in Iran. With diverse and active characters.

Good acting. Mehran Moderi's charisma helped him in this role and he presents one of his best performances. We have seen brilliant acting from Mehran Modiri, Hamid Farrokhnejad, Setereh Eskandari, Hengameh Ghaziani, Mehdi Soltani, Siamak Safari, Parivash Nazarieh and Amir Mehdi Joleh so far. Some interesting sequences have been very brilliant and attractive such as Buick and Guardiola's fight in the car; or Buick's anger at Zar; and also Buick being surrounded by prisoners, threatening and beating him, proving that not being beaten is not bravery, but not being afraid of being beaten is the real bravery.

Mehran Modiri acts brilliantly
fruzan4 September 2023
Mehran Modiri's performance in the role of Buick is brilliant. Perhaps the best performance in Iran's home TV series is comparable only to the performance of Modiri himself in the role of uncle Jahangir in Khatoon. The brotherhood of Buick and Siros, played by Modiri and Soltani, is very spectacular in this series. In the same way, Buick and Zari duos and their fight is unique. It can be said that Mehran Modiri is currently the best drama actor in Iran. Some people, because of jealousy or competition, or because they like Mehran Modiri to work only in comedy, ignore or slander Modiri's performance in a serious role, but the fact is that he is brilliant and genius both in comedy and in serious. See him and enjoy his art.

the characters and storytelling are absolutely excellent
kamrantib14 September 2023
It is so well and perfectly made.

I advice to people who have heart or mental problems should never watch this series.

The director of the film and his actors, especially in the role of buick is doing very well in his role.

It is definitely the best series in the history of Iranian films and series, there is no weak point in this series, the characters and storytelling are absolutely excellent and to the extent.

"Pedar guardiola" is a captivating Iranian drama series that delves into the complexities of human relationships and societal norms.

What sets "pedar guardiola" apart from other TV dramas is its nuanced portrayal of characters who are not entirely good or bad.

A new style
umll-2645914 September 2023
In a period when Iranian series are becoming obsolete day by day and their value is decreasing, the "Pedar Guardiola" has been able to show us a new style of these works, and with all its errors and story problems, it can still be said that it is one of the best series of Iranian home shows. The actors of this series have played a significant role in Iranian series, and their gathering, directed by one of the well-known writers of this country, in whom the desire for diversity is rippling, shows a beautiful and new effect of the series in Iran. A different attempt on making series in Iran an amazing and different experience in watching them. Amazing and interesting subject and amazing acting from Mehran Modiri and Mehdi Soltani.
