Critic Tarek El-Shennawy believes that films and TV series about con artists offer audiences a safe outlet for a repressed desire to break the law. Mental health consultant Walid Hindi, meanwhile, attributes their popularity to curiosity about a forbidden world, excitement and suspense, and the chance to follow the tricks and schemes of charismatic, rebellious characters. Works that have explored this world include *Hamada and Toto’s Gang*, *The Egg and the Stone*, *100 Wesh* and *50/50*. The latter follows a gang that runs schemes against men who shirk their responsibility to support their families, then returns half the money to the women they have harmed. Hindi cited a 2018 American survey in which 40% of participants said crime dramas were among their top choices. He also cited an analysis that tracked 195 series across four platforms in 18 markets from 2018 to March 2026, recording 38 billion views, 27.7 billion viewing hours and 168 million user accounts.
