What 5 Of Egyptians’ Favorite TV Shows Say About Them

5- Keep It Short and Sweet

Turns out, the shorter the better! Mini series have been finding large popularity worldwide with streaming services, and Egypt is no different. Some of the most popular shows in Egypt are those miniseries that take a few days to watch (or less than a day if you’re a particularly avid rewatcher!)

The Queen’s Gambit is one example of miniseries that enjoy a trend period when fans all watch at the same time, mimicking a traditional TV setup. The 2020 release is also a period drama, and it centers an orphaned chess prodigy and her struggle with drug and alcohol addictions.
