Background and Reception

The channel gained a positive following at the start. However, when the network adopted the dubbing policy in Arabic for the entire series, a number of growing Facebook pages emerged demanding the return of the former original language with subtitle approach, some even went through and called for a boycotting by faithful viewers until they are given the option to choose the language. The criticism came as the series displayed the lackluster accents that drained the series from their original voices that the fans were drawn to.

During the Maghrib prayer, shows advertisements locally for viewers outside and in Qatar that uses analog television and satellite television. For example, during the prayer, did not shown it; instead, shows many advertisements for viewers in some cities.
