Another user wrote, "#Barzakh is beautiful. It is stunning when showing undying love through a lone tree, unshakable resolve through vast mountains or even when it’s screaming familial dysfunction within a macabre setting (sic)."

A third user wrote, "Barzakh has beautiful cinematography (sic)." "Oh the cinematography of Barzakh’s first episode should be studied. IT IS ALREADY INSANE (sic)", shared a different user.
A viewer wrote, "#Barzakh is so hauntingly poetic. The first episode is so intriguing and filled with mystery. Considering the past works of @IllicitusProduc. I find it interesting that this feels a bit closer to #Cake than #Churails. Although in the end, it’s something totally new (sic)."
