    How Lebanon Reacted to Being Featured on Netflix’s La Casa de Papel (Money Heist)

    La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) is one of Netflix’s most-watched foreign language series. The show recently aired its fourth season followed by a Netflix’s Special, an hour-long documentary about the series’ influence worldwide – and Lebanon has made it to the show!

    The Lebanese revolution was featured in the documentary called Money Heist: The Phenomenon which talked about how the show has impacted the world.

    The series has undoubtedly influenced the Lebanese, some of whom proudly wore the now-iconic Salvador Dali masks and red jumpsuits to the protests as a statement of resistance and rebellion against the government.

    AFP

    Oprah Magazine wrote about the meaning behind the show’s costume, saying that it’s not merely a way for the characters to hide their true identities during a heist:

    “It actually serves as a physical symbol of the show’s theme, which is about “the resistance, indignation, and skepticism” towards “the system,” as the Professor says in episode 1 of season 3.”

    It’s safe to say resistance and skepticism towards the system ring bells with the Lebanese revolutionaries.

    Here are some reactions:

    #1 “It’s official boys, we’re famous.” – Reddit user, Berytus-NutrixLegum
