Extremely attractive, tense and engaging
iHeeman29 March 2023
It is definitely the best Iranian series in recent years and of course one of the best series in the history of Iran, A perfect script, full of events, unpredictable with perfect and believable characters, One of the most attractive characters in the series is the character of Reza Parvaneh. Excellent and perfect direction by Jamshid Mahmoudi, Most importantly, the amazing performance of all the actors in the film, the set of actors in the film are among the best actors in Iranian cinema, each of whom has played one of their best roles in this series. Masterpiece music, I recommend that you definitely watch this series.

Drama
shoxan-8343116 April 2023
One of the best episodes since GOT and BB ITS CHARACTERISTIC FEATURE reality,it makes you wait every single word of the dialogue,you can't skipped it at all,each scene and word are related,its not like the old fashion American movies where the investigators reach to the criminals by dna and easy information,no it's complicated here Amazing scenario.

The actors are different story,powerful and very interesting acting,shahab s sadness is clear in each episode Agha na3imi never smile till 3rd season,fer can do that and stay in the character Thank you Iran for this episode,we are enjoying it ........

nicely done
elnaznilofary19 October 2023
It was the only Iranian series that I kept going on watching. It did'nt have a lot of unnecessary gaps and silences, which was perfect, it prevents boredom during watching a movie. All the moments of silence inside the movies was perfectly suitable with the mood of that condition. It was perfectly enough , not too long, not too short. Except for some eoisodes on season 2 and some on season 3. And the only reason that I didn't gave 10/10 was this matter.

Besides the cast all did a perfect job. The direction, camera rolling, acting, everything was glorious.

I hope some limitations that Iranian directors and actors/actresses have may someday vanish away so Iran's potential for cinema flourishes.

Great

The interesting and criminal story that I suggest you watch is really great and a challenge, I recommend it. Among Iranian series, it can be said that it is the best, and it is the best. The rest of the Iranian series do not have a specific genre, but the skin of the lion. This is not the case and its genre is clear, unlike Iranian series. There is a story of a character named Naeem who is released from ignorance and things happen to him. If you have seen social networks, you will understand that the prediction of this The series was not predictable at all until the second season. Finally, I give this series 10 points.

outstanding script
esfahbodi9 March 2023
This series benefit from outstanding screen writings; it's really next level.

Great complimentary performance by the key actors.

Suspense and drama to the maximum effect.

Moreover, the show benefits from brilliant casts; while they key actors are very famous, you forget that they you know them from their pervious roles and actually become the characters they are playing. Both of their performances are as good as anything you'll see from a television show.

Last but not least, the original music is excellent and fits the mood perfectly; being mysterious and dark.

Good overall storyline is running through the 3 seasons.

A painful story
aiubsafi9 March 2023
It is so well and perfectly made that one's soul is tormented by understanding an unreal story.

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

The heavy feeling of hatred that is behind every person erupts in this series to attack the bad character of the story.

The director of the film and his actors, especially in the role of Naeem and Naeem's daughter, the character of the police officer, are doing very well in their roles, do not recommend this series to anyone, they will believe it and suffer.

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

Aiyoub safi.

Best Iranian Series by Far
winchesterlisa9 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I wanna thank all the casts and the crew for such a great job that they've done. Felt evey scene of this series in my heart.

By watching the newest episode that came out yesterday. My heart skiped about ten times. When I saw the person shooting poor Sahel I just was extremely shoked. After all they've been through. They are back to the first step again. They are going to suffer hundred times worse than before. But the most innocent one, Sahel. What did she do that she deserved this.

The more this series continues, the more I am desperate to find out about Naeem's enemy and the reason why she/he is doing this.

The Best Iranian Series Ever
aysan-0345419 April 2023
The series is a must-watch show for people who love crime and thriller genres.

A great storyline along with many plot twists and mysterious soundtracks won't let you take your eyes off it!

The cast and acting is beyond good, giving you the feeling that they are real-world characters.

The main theme of the show is the love of a father for his most beloved person in the world, his daughter.

Deprived of seeing his daughter for a long time, Naeem tries hard to visit her for the first time, but it's quite challenging for him as he is a total stranger to her and Naeem himself barely knows his own daughter.

To sum up, don't miss this masterpiece - it's definitely worth watching.

People's rights are taken away, not given🤜🏻
bushranehmat19 April 2023
It's really the best Drama of Iran, I look at the Iranian series very little because their endings are not clear So I hated Iranian dramas most of the time but this is the first drama that makes me pull into the story and play the actors especially the three main actors Naeem, Moheb, and Raza , like egypt's three great pyramids, really saw the most wonderful role I thank his director for showing us the great masterpiece but what was so sad was the last scene of the final episode when Naeem after All the misery is sitting silently and ebi's wonderful song , and I'm always remember the lion's skin.

Overrated
vatovato-698514 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is bish bash bosh copy cat of "The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil" movie at least give them a credit to it, Also there are so many errors in this project that some point is insulting to viewers .

A series that no one expected to reach this level of popularity and take a place in the hearts of the viewers of the home television network. Considering the many expectations that this series had created, it was feared that the ending of "Lion's Skin" could not finish this story full of tension as it deserves; But the creators of the series did not lose the rhyme even at the end and were able to finish their work safely.

The ending of "Lionskin" more than anything reminded us of the heyday of Masoud Kimiaei's cinema. A movie in which friendship and knowledge were an integral part of its director's world, as well as ambition and selfishness, and finally, the sacrifice of the fate of its protagonists. But now, without the name of Masoud Kimiaei, Jamshid Mahmoudi has left the footsteps of this great cinema director.

The arrangement of the director at the end of the series was so correct that we had rarely seen its example in the past years. A sad setting in which all the characters are exiled to continue living alone to keep the sadness of losing Sahil in their hearts forever, but Naeem's story was different. After Mansour's murder, he calmed down and no longer has anger in him. He knew that there was no future waiting for him and that the gallows would be his final fate; As if he is the only person around who knows his fate.

The final sequence of the series, however, is the kind of cinema that the Iranian audience likes. Where Naeem is sitting alone on a bench and blowing snow from the sky. The burning cold whose dust settles on the body of a man who has seen cowardice but has not been cowardly. Naeem is staring at a corner and is immersed in his memories; The only memories he had will be with him until the end of his life.

"Lionskin" can be Khalaf's successor for alchemical works. Maram and Loti, murder and stabbing and finally, victimization, can be a mixture of the same familiar scenario that Kimiaei was a master in portraying and now, Jamshid Mahmoudi can continue his path.

Beyond expectations
parmida_rezvani6 November 2023
This series has blown my mind!

It DOES NOT fail to deliver the emotions! There is fear, love, lost, excitement and many more delivered in the most natural and touching way.

The actors are just one word « AMAZING » I felt the most in scenes where Moheb would remember his daughter's death specifically when he goes to visit her in the cemetery.

It's upsetting this series is limited to persian speakers and is not accessible or advertised internationally, I'm sure that it would gain popularity if correctly advertised.

I have never left and IMDB review but for this I had to.

All that to say, if you can, watch this series. It's definitely not a cliché.

Dramatic...
babbasi-8824220 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A man named Naeem is released from prison after 15 years and wants to make up for his daughter Sahel. Mother Sahel is against this relationship. But a strange event disrupts everything. A murderer kills in a heinous manner and now Naeem along with Mohib Meshkat, Major of the Coastal Department, are looking for the murderer. He lost his troubles in a case of the murders of the little girl series and now he is the agent to solve the mystery of this murder. This is the summary of the Lion Skin series. A powerful thriller about a horrific crime involving a teenage girl. Stories like this are often seen on the pages of newspaper events, and on the other hand, we have seen its cinematic examples in many foreign and domestic works. But now with the leaves and side adventures, we are in the skin of the lion series with side stories that I can't pass by. By the way, perhaps the most interesting thing about this series is that the sub-narratives guess, but it does not leave the audience to follow only the main line of the story and ignore the details that happen.

You will undoubtedly remember this series
manitryhrd14 June 2023
In this series, there is no trace of fictional characters At the end, you should just cry for the character whose daughter is retaliating for the sins he committed.

I want you to watch this movie only if you are not Iranian .I want to introduce you to a part of Iranian tragedy The problems that this movie had were clearly visible only at the end of the story, for example, the murder of the murderer or the story that was finally told as the reason for the beginning of this story. Another problem of the movie is its translation, sometimes the said dialogues do not match with the translation And finally, I thank the dear author for making this series.

Perfect movie
aliizr13 January 2024
To say the least, Hollywood movies/series has nothing on this master piece!!!

If there is any show that deserves a grammy it would be this!

From the characters, plot, costume and sound tracks this series has raised the bar for future drama's/shows.

Greatest gratitude to the legendary and amazing Afghan director and producer for this hell of a roller coaster series.

This series definitely needs to include english subtitles because my oh my!!! (speechless) it deserves to go viral internationally.

This movie was so good that you can to compare it with other series me , my family and my friends all loved it so much big thanks to the actors and creators.

It was really great
infodaymusics24 May 2023
The best Iranian series you can watch in your life Everything is perfect It was unlikely that Iran would make such a series.

How beautiful Alireza Kamali was, her role and performance in the series are all characteristic of putting their best efforts to make such a work and we really miss the beautiful Wednesdays with lion skin.

That was perfect!!! There is a film that should be recorded in the history of film and cinema. I compare other movies with it, it's not even a tenth of it ❤❤😻😻😻😻 But it was very sad, Naim's bad mood will always be in our hearts 😭😭 I feel very sad 😭😭 But it's the best movie in the world!!!!!!!

The best Iranian series
mohammadalie-8796923 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best series I have ever seen.

If you want to see an exciting and action-packed controversial series, don't miss the Lion Skin. Also, Shahab Hosseini's wonderful acting in this series. I really liked the friendship between Naeem and Reza. Reza Parvaneh sacrificed everything for Naeem. The romantic relationship between Sahil and Sadra was very beautiful and sad.

I hope that what happened to Sahel and the sadness that Naim and Maheb suffered from the loss of a child are really painful. I cried with each and every tear of Mohib (Shahab Hosseini).

Even that hair tie was a beautiful metaphor of a father's grief and love .

best script
It has a very clever story and a good script.

I suggest you watch this series.

The actors play very well and the direction is also good.

It is one of the best performances of Shahab Hosseini 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, it keeps the audience thirsty for the next episode.

Other features include the very good filming and editing of this series.

The crime story and mystery is one of the advantages of this series.

It is one of the best series in Iran.

Great series with very bad ending
dbzn-4616019 April 2023
That was a great series but unfortunately they started to stretched/diluted the series on season three, adding a lot of irrelevant characters and scenes just to get another episode.

End the series without explaining how the villain got so much power, knowledge and intel.

It promote violence and disobeying laws in those matters, showing how ineffective police forces are.

This series could have been 10/10 but with this ending, it wouldn't go further 3/10.

Great cast by the way. That's a pity that the director is starting to get involved in writing and making the film diluted with those unnecessary scenes, a lot of lose ends.

The Best Film
mraminsaberi29 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is the best in every way, for example, the actors are the best and the story of the movie is an interesting story...

The story of the movie is such that one is fascinated by it and wants to watch the movie many times...

I really recommend watching this movie because its story is different from the rest of the Iranian movie's stories...

And my advice to others is that those who have heart or mental problems should not watch this movie because this movie contains violent scenes that are not suitable for people under 15 years old...

For example, killing a child in front of her parents...

Great movie

Warning: Spoilers
Undoubtedly this series is one of the masterpieces of Iranian cinema, which beautifully plays with the viewer's emotions. Lion skin is an Iranian home drama series in the crime drama genre, directed by Jamshid Mahmoudi and written by Reza Baharond and Jamshid Mahmoudi, which was shown in 1401 on Filmnet. Hadi Hejazifar, Panthea Bahram, Mehrdad Sedikian, Alireza Kamali, Pardis Ahmadiyeh, Zhila Shahi and Shahab Hosseini are among the actors of this series. The series received generally positive reviews from critics. In this a girl called sahel(beach) Kidnapped by a criminal and her mother and his dad that were in prison for 15 years and her boy friend ( i think ) try to find her.

The lion skin
erfanesmaeili-491993 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I suggest you watch this series, it can almost be said that it is the best crime series in Iran. All the actors of the series played their role so well that it is impossible to say who played the best role. The third season, the second part, is the best part of this series. In the episode where Naeem kills Nariman, the remaining feeling of hatred towards Nariman in the heart of the audience is emptied. When Nariman talks about what he did to Sahil, it is very sad and even makes people cry. Most of the people don't watch many Iranian series because it didn't have a good beginning and end and it didn't have a beautiful story, but this series is so attractive that everyone who has seen the series realizes its charm.

I don't see any criticism, it was a very good series
shervinsshayea12 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Regarding the series, I like the character of Reza Parvaneh, in this day and age, such a person is very rare, but I feel very sorry for her.

Case, when Naeem went up to the guilty people and beat them, I felt very calm.

Mashkat made mistakes in his decisions in some cases and this process made Naeem not trust him. Maybe if Mashkat behaved like Naeem and beat the criminals, he would be better able to kill and solve the mystery. But I kind of give you the right to be a policeman and he couldn't do it.

The interesting scene was the race between Naeem and Meshakat to arrest the criminals and the strange thing was that Naeem and Reza Parvaneh reached the target before the scheduled time, why Meshakat could not reach earlier than Naeem even though he was a policeman.
