The Moroccan series “Al-Dam Al-Mashrouk” has sparked widespread debate among viewers and critics, who believe the show is far removed from Moroccan cultural identity, despite being presented as local drama.
Criticism has focused on the series’ apparent heavy influence from Egyptian drama, both in terms of the script and the costumes, which have made it closer to Egyptian Upper Egypt-based productions than to authentic Moroccan creations.
The series tells the story of complex social issues such as inheritance and family conflicts, which has earned it a large following. However, this has not prevented a wave of criticism directed at the work.
Activists on social media have pointed to “Al-Dam Al-Mashrouk” as a clear example of the absence of Moroccan artistic identity in some dramatic productions, arguing that it does not reflect local reality but instead carries foreign influences, particularly from Egypt. Many have stressed that Moroccan drama needs to develop content that truly reflects the nation’s culture and identity, rather than replicating the works of others.
Some have questioned the role of the producers and those responsible for the drama industry in supporting works that represent Moroccan societal issues in an authentic way. They pointed out that Moroccan audiences have become more aware of artistic products and can easily distinguish between genuine local work and those imported with a convincing style.
