The Exchange is a series directed by Jasem Al-Muhanna and Karim Elshenawy starring Rawan Mahdi and Mona Hussain.
The Exchange reaches us from Kuwait with an interesting premise about women´s liberation in the masculina world of finances.
As far as the premise is concerned… good. After that, what we find inside… and each person will see whether they like it or not.
This is not The Wolf of Wall Street, nor is it a comedy or have a wild rhythm nor anything like that. The Exchange portrays the financial world of Kuwait in the Eighties and how two talented young ladies try to impose themselves on the system.
This is not the series of the year nor does it excell in its filming, you just need to watch it or not.
