Monsters revives the crime of the monster of Hawally.. A bold drama that provokes interaction

The public interaction continues after the episode titled “Hawally Monster” from the series “Monsters” was shown, which is based on a true crime that shook Kuwait in 2008, when 17 children were raped in the Hawally area.

The episode dealt with the details of this shocking case in a dramatic and moving manner, which sparked widespread controversy among viewers.

Bashar Al Shatti interacts with the audience

Artist Bashar Al Shatti shared many comments from the audience on his official Instagram account, which showed how affected they were by the events of the episode.

One of the followers praised the strength of the presentation, saying:

“I am happy that there is a Kuwaiti work worth watching. The series is far from superficial, and the Egyptian actor who played the role of the perpetrator was creative in making him a repulsive character for the viewer.”

Another follower commented on the actors' performance, saying:

“The characters of Bashar Al Shatti, Mohammed Yousef, and the actor who played Hajjaj were exceptionally creative. The details of the crime were so terrifying and affecting that they made the viewer feel angry and tense.”

The power of acting and the impact of the story on the audience

The audience interacted greatly with the true story presented by the series, as one follower described the episode as stronger than the episode “The Wedding of Fire”, while another follower expressed the series’ impact on viewers, saying:

“This is not just a drama, but real stories that we lived in Kuwait. We were affected by the tragedy of the wedding fire victims, and our psychological state was exhausted with the case of the killer who succumbed to her feelings, and now we return to feeling fear as we were when we heard the story of the monster around me.”

Analysis of the detective's performance in the case

The performance of the detective in the episode “Wahsh Hawally” caught the attention of viewers, as he embodied a psychological conflict between professional duty and human feelings towards the horror of the crime. According to the analysis of one of the followers, the officer went through clear stages:

• Gradual escalation of tension and shock: As the investigation progressed, he gradually began to lose his calm.

• The moment of confrontation and psychological conflict: He tried to control his feelings, but he could not hide his resentment at the ugliness of the crime.

• The End and the Silent Break: Despite the case being closed, he did not feel comfortable, reflecting the idea that there were other “monsters” that had not yet been revealed.
