Hi

I am not Turkish but I want to start learning turkish. I've heard watching turkish dramas help. Can you guys suggest really good turkish dramas that are not super long (100 episodes per season)

Thanks

I don’t like summer series so don’t mention it

Turkish TV industry: when a first season is doing really well and everyone loves the cast, storyline, etc., I promise you don't have to make all these annoying changes for season two. Keep things exactly how they were.

No ex-love interest, no pregnant ex-girlfriend/ex-mistress, no bringing someone back from the dead. Just continue the story and keep the momentum going.

The amount of shows that have been ruined because writers and producers decided it would be a good idea to change everything people loved about the first season needs to be studied lol. Like, why can't they just let things be and continue the story? No, you don't have to bring someone back from the dead, and no, you don't need to bring in 10 different characters who are irrelevant to the story.

I was rewatching season 1 of Uzak Sehir, and the way they messed this show up in season 2 needs to be studied. What made me love this show was the ambience, the family drama, the forbidden love, and the mystery surrounding it all. I remember being so excited for season 2. This was my first real Turkish show, so I was naive about how they tend to ruin their shows once season 2 comes around.

At this point, I just tell myself the show ended at episode 28 because season 2 was an unnecessary headache. So many unnecessary events happened, and so many characters were introduced or (brought back from the ☠️) that just didn't need to be there. The last time I was this disappointed with a show was when I watched Safir and Feraye ended up with Yaman instead of Ates.

Do you guys have any shows that you felt were great from start to finish, whether they were one season or multiple? I feel like I'll get attached to a show during the first season, it gets renewed, and I get excited, only for the second season (and beyond) to be bad. The writing, storylines, and characters all go downhill. So, what are some shows that are amazing from beginning to end?

Been seeing the debate in a few threads now, is Teoman actually into Deniz or is this a revenge plan to hurt her later. People keep picking a side like it has to be one or the other.

It doesn't have to be. This is a common move in these shows. A character starts something with an agenda, then somewhere in the middle the agenda stops being the reason he shows up. He doesn't notice it happening, and neither do we until we look back.

The party scene is the first crack. Teoman telling Aras not to hurt Deniz's feelings makes no sense as a revenge move. A guy running a plan wants the target raw and hurting so she's easier to get close to, he doesn't protect her from someone else's carelessness. That line only works if part of him already means it.

Here's what I'm watching for going forward: the moment he stops needing an excuse to be around her. Right now every scene between them has a reason attached, a favor, a setup, a plan beat. Once he starts showing up with no reason at all, that's the show admitting the switch already happened.

We're not there yet. But it's close.

Anyone catch a moment where it already slipped?

please recommend me some turkish movie or series (not lengthy) that is lighthearted, romantic, fun, and both the leads are super attractive and hot.

I just finished watching Episode 3, and I have to say, I'm genuinely captivated by this show.

I'm usually not a fan of summer dizis because they often rely on repetitive storylines that don't really bring anything fresh or unique. Don't get me wrong, I love clichés, but only when they're executed in a way that keeps you invested and adds a new twist. I'm also generally not a fan of simple rom-coms for the same reason.

However, Doğanın Kanunu has absolutely nailed it for me. The balance between drama and comedy is so well done, and the overall premise feels genuinely refreshing within the Turkish dizi world. The dynamic between Yaman and Doğa is so good. I really enjoy the slow-burn development of their relationship—it feels natural, and the pacing has been just right.

I just hope they keep it this way and don't end up ruining what they've built.

PLEASE!!!!! I’m looking for a dizi or TV series with a female main character who starts off not very strong but gradually becomes powerful and confident, like Seyran in Yalı Çapkını!! or Eda Yıldız in Sen Çal Kapımı, I love her so much

There is a new YouTube channel called Turkish Series Archive who uploads episodes in 4K with the english subtitles. I asked if I he could upload the new serie called ''Altı Üstü İstanbul'' and he actually uploaded it.

Just wanted to let you guys knoww

Anything similar too daha 17 , im new too these and really liked this one

After all the cruelty he has done to him do you see him regret so much? Or feel guilty that he distance from him? How do you think he will react?

So I recently watched Hercai and found out that the lead pair, who btw had insane chemistry on screen, don’t even follow eo on Instagram anymore. Apparently, Ebru unfollowed Akın Akınözü right before the finale aired & he later unfollowed her too (although at least he waited until after the finale had aired).

I just feel they could’ve been a little more professional and not let their off-screen differences become so obvious especially right before the finale? As a viewer, it kind of takes away from the experience.

The same goes for the Kara Sevda leads. Neslihan and Burak don’t follow each other either & often seem irritated whenever they’re asked about their former co-star. Recently, as many of u probably know, Neslihan even responded negatively on Twitter about EVER working with Burak again.

It genuinely makes me wonder…. why do some actors hold onto so much animosity or negative energy years after a project has ended? You’d think that after creating something so successful together, they’d at least be cordial even if they were never friends.

A beautiful turkish series which is full of love, comedy and drama

I remember I used to skip Omar's aunt part she babble a lot lol 😂 anyways I love that drama even though it's old but good

Back in the 2010’s I watched a dizi on a Turkish TV channel (I don’t remember which). I think there was a woman being held in a secret small room behind a wardrobe or something, the woman inside the secret room tried to get attention for help with her ring, she used her ring on pipes(?) to get attention, I believe someone outside heard it but then she didn’t have enough strength to continue making sounds. I can’t remember anything else, can anyone help me find this dizi? Thank you

I recently finished TBD, and honestly, I was hooked from the very first episode. I didn't skip a single scene, which is rare for me because I usually end up skipping parts of Turkish dramas when they start feeling too draggy.
I started Uzak Şehir afterwards, but I'm on episode 7 and I'm still not getting the hype. The male lead and his mother are really getting on my nerves.
Does it get better, or is it just not for me? Should I keep watching? For context, I absolutely loved Yargı, so I'm looking for a series that keeps me hooked from start to finish.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to turkish series, so far I have watched Arafta, Erkensi kus and kan cicekleri (still watching).

I loved watching them however there is one common thing that i hate about these dramas which is misunderstanding and not communicating. They love each other but they are so bad at communicating, they say they trust each other but believe outsiders, they keep secrects from their partners which ends up as a bigger trouble later.

It has literally been a torture to my heart whenever it happens, please suggest me power couple series where they talk like adults and understand each other mutually.
