Rijal Al-Izz — Men of Honor — is a 2011 Syrian Damascene period drama set in the Saroujeh neighborhood of Damascus during the French occupation of the 1930s. The series follows Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shami, a wrongfully accused man who escapes a death sentence and transforms into a resistance fighter, striking fear into the French occupiers while navigating betrayal and injustice within his own community. Starring Rashid Assaf and Qusai Khouli.

The show tells the story of a playwright, Jalal, who holds secular views, and his close friendship with Michel, his childhood friend. Michel initially worked as a lawyer but later transitioned to journalism, founding his own magazine in which he boldly addresses societal issues, drawing significant criticism. Additionally, the narrative explores themes of separating religion from civil and political life through a love story between a man and a woman from different faiths: Jalal (a Muslim) and Hanan (a Christian). Their relationship culminates in a secret marriage, which lasts until Jalal’s sudden passing. Throughout the story, the work focuses on two major issues related to secularism: the demand for a civil personal status law that permits civil marriage, and the call for a secular education system that allows students the freedom to seek their own truths instead of being indoctrinated with a predetermined "absolute truth." It also tackles issues of political and social corruption.

A social drama about the Syrian society and the corruption that runs rampant across all of its different classes, as well as exploring some ideals like love, integrity, and honesty.

Al Ghadr "The Treachery" is a Syrian TV series with a detective theme, consisting of 31 episodes, based on the novel “The Bread Peddler” by Xavier de Montépin.

The events take place inside a Damascus neighborhood in two time periods separated by 15 years, during the period that preceded the liberation of Damascus from the Ottoman occupation, and the period of the Ottoman control over the neighborhood, as a strong conflict erupts among the notables of the neighborhood to respond to and resist it.

On June 6, 1996, a group of girls gathered on the day they received their baccalaureate degrees to take a photo. They agreed to meet again a decade later, specifically on June 6, 2006. This is the starting point for the events of the series, as each of its separate episodes we live the story of each girl, and we see what time has done to her.
