Reception

The Green Journey is one of the most popular television series that has been produced in Iran.[4] According to statistics from IRIB, The Green Journey was well received by the viewers of whom the majority were women (67%) or youths (88%).[5]

The series has been praised by critics for its realistic way of portraying sensitive social issues and for its positive portrayal of Iranian adherents to Christianity.[6] This aspect was also the subject of severe criticism from some critics who complained that Muslims and the mosque were portrayed in a negative manner in contrast to Armenians who were portrayed as truthful and devotional and churches that were represented as pure and holy places of worship.[7]
