Although some Arab countries have produced many TV series over the past few years, their channels have nevertheless continued to purchase Egyptian dramas to fill in for what some call weak local productions, according to Arabic daily Al Hayat.
This Ramadan, some of these channels have tried to throw this Egyptian domination, but failed miserably. This is due to the fact that overlooking the Egyptian products means losing the audience looking for the series such as Alelet Al Hag Mitwalli (Haj Mitwalli Family), Hadith Al Sabah Wal Masaa (Morning and Evening Speech), Al Sirah Al Hilaliyyah, Al Barr Al Gharbi (Western Land), Bawabet Al Halawani (Al Halawani Gateway), Malikah Mina Al Ganoub (Queen from the South), Fares Bila Gawad (Warrior Without Horse), Al Imam Sufian Al Thawri, Al Imam bin Magah, and other series.
Many prominent stars play roles in these series, which are scripted and directed by top-notch professionals and which portray interesting and high-standard drama.
Egyptian series dominate the Arab TV channels throughout the year and seem ready to continue infinitely. The opinions of some about the Egyptian domination is a made-up matter because this domination is a normal thing in view of Egyptian innovation and leadership in this art and the absence of competing options.
The Arab audience is uninterested in the nationality of actors as much as in the Arabic content of the production. For example, Noor Al Sherif in the series Hag Mitwalli addresses the issue of half-educated people in the Arab World who seek quick wealth and polygamy. This is in addition to the fact that Sherif becomes mature in the series.
He excels in Mitwalli in a manner that has aroused admiration and pleasure. It is not believed that a viewer in Riyadh, Sanaa, Rabat or Amman will ever think of domination while watching Sherif. This is because the viewer has learned how to watch distinguished dramas made by the Egyptians پEAlbawaba.com
