Are Turkish shows becoming more devoid of morals and ethics? I’m having difficulties watching them recently, women are abused, adultry and cheaters are constantly celebrated etc? It’s 2026 for crying out loud!
Just seen the finale of Kiskanmak and It’s getting really difficult to continue watching Turkish shows due to lack of morals/ethics. It was bad before now fans are calling the writers out for their storylines and yet somehow they continue to write female stars in a disgusting manner.
Uzak Sehir women are abused and degraded, Kiskanmak celebrates and supports cheaters and adultry, Halef allows the abuse of pregnant ex wives, cheating and causing them pain. Delkinakli allows women to be sexually assaulted and then villainised even though it’s not their fault by the male lead/lover.
We are starting to glamorise abuse/cheating and using it as a form of entertainment. Women in real life suffer this type of treatment on a daily basis and we are not calling it out or showing the characters being punished for their cruelty, they all seem to have a happy ending.
I know it’s fiction but young adults will watch these shows and feel like it’s a representative of society and continue to behave in this manner.
