CAIRO — A new TV series, "Ekhtyar Egbari" (Arabic for "Compulsory Choice"), confirms that social media is no longer just for socializing. Facebook and the like are providing fodder for a dramatic production.
DMC channel launched the series in January on TV and online, and tracking through the end of February shows it has high ratings, especially on YouTube. Several of the 30- to 45-minute episodes hit more than 300,000 views on YouTube within a few days. These ratings are especially strong considering the show isn't a special aired during Ramadan, when people binge on TV series during the fasting month.
