Director Zied Litayem envisioned Nhar Ala Ammar as a dark comedy that breaks away from traditional Ramadan drama formats. Inspired by films such as Memento, Looper, and Groundhog Day, he crafted a uniquely Tunisian narrative that plays with time while staying grounded in urban realism. By rooting the story in familiar Tunisian settings, Litayem sought to connect with audiences while pushing creative boundaries.
The series quickly attracted attention during Ramadan 2024, recording strong viewership on Nessma TV. Media outlets highlighted its originality, praising it as a refreshing change from the conventional drama-heavy Ramadan lineup. Viewers compared the series to international works with similar concepts, and some even drew parallels with the Egyptian film 1000 Mabrouk. Its availability and unconventional humor resonated especially with younger audiences.
On platforms such as IMDb and Simkl, Nhar Ala Ammar scored positively — with ratings averaging around 8/10. Critics noted that attempting a time-loop comedy in the Tunisian context was both ambitious and innovative. Seif Imran’s performance as Ammar received particular praise for balancing humor with absurdity, anchoring the show’s quirky yet thought-provoking tone.
“I really like the first episode of this series. It felt light, humorous in a way, as well as cinematically pleasing.”
“The jokes don’t feel forced... And such beautiful pictures… it’s clearly well filmed.”
