In Sevidigm Sensin, the FL is always is shown always carrying a lamb. It is very irritating.

Hello. Can you please recommend dizi like hudutsuz sevda? Of course with a happy ending. Thank you

What the heck?!!! I am not okay.

Started of quite good ,deniz has done good work with a very small margin given to his character,but again the school shooting incident led to reduction of a lot of action scenes. Somewhere in the middle bozo has a suspicion on ali it was just random. Also poor ending mfs did the same in hundutzsz sevda where halil was shot but there atleast we knew who was shot ,here I believe bozo was the target but ali jumps in front of him gets hospitalized,escape plan cancelled and thus bozo's trust gained again.who do you think was shot i don't think anyone would be dead b/w the lead 4...also bozo forgetting his pedant is a clear indicator that he was the target

Hello, does anyone know where i can watch poyraz karayel with english subtitles?

… and they wasted it.

I know many people will disagree with what I'm about to say but I understood Melek in the beginning (until they absolutely ruined her character). I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t feel betrayed (and hurt) if they found out their husband had a “double” life and another woman promised to him.

The rivalry between Melek and Yildiz is so forced. They love putting women against each other because of men. Melek's actions are so different from the Melek they showed in the very beginning of the show (I know she went through a lot but still).

Serhat is not a good person. I liked him the first few episodes but things went sour pretty quickly. The way he handled his marriage with Melek (who is pregnant with his child) rubbed me the wrong way.

Yildiz has a traumatic past (I hate the frequent abuse towards women in Turkish dramas) and I hoped from the beginning she could reach her goals of studying and becoming a teacher (correct me if I'm wrong, I don’t watch it as much anymore). They turned the focus away from that and the toxicity just skyrocketed.

The fandom is also very toxic (from some comments I saw online), and I don’t think it helps. People are very passionate about which side they’re on (which they’re allowed to be) but I don’t understand why it’s okay to bully the actors because of a drama. It’s never that serious

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.

The first female character that comes to mind is Zerrin. Can they give her a break, please?

She has suffered for most of the drama and she continues to suffer immensely. They always find a way to have her either crying or mistreated.

The whole situation with Kaya is getting so boring… I liked them as a couple but now they’re putting him against her and forcing Ipek into the situation, without clearing up all the lies and misunderstandings (blackmail from Demir). Zerrin always ends up being the one at fault, as if the men around her didn’t act like raging lunatics.

I think the actress is genuinely doing an amazing job portraying Zerrin. Her acting is so raw and believable.

The other character I'd like to mention is Nare. She would make such a loving mother. It’s so sad. She is such a sweet character and I don’t understand the point on focusing her storyline on (mostly) tragedy/trauma. She deserves a break.

I stopped watching with English subtitles for a while and sometimes skim through the new episodes.

I can see Kaya is mad at Zerrin. But, did Zerrin explain how blackmailed she was by Demir? How she hates Demir and everything he had done?

In some of the scenes it looks like Kaya thinks Zerrin did it on purpose? I'm tired of them both. Get a new good guy for Zerrin.

I really, really, really hate when a show continues to drag instead of just ending it. With the announcement of Esref Ruya ending this season , correct me if I am wrong, but the main male lead went to the team and said this should be the last season. I truly think other shows and actors should follow suit. Just because a show has good or decent ratings doesn't mean you should continue with another season. I have noticed this with a lot of shows that are getting another season that shouldn't. Uzak Sehir, GVG, Half, etc. A lot of these shows should have ended this season. I feel like you can even tell because the main actors for the show won't even post about it to promote the show anymore. The "story" is dragging, and they are just writing in circles. Let me know what you guys think.

Just finished Fazilet Hanım ve Kızları and I think I’m fully back in my Turkish drama obsession era.

What I loved most was that the romance doesn’t even properly begin until you truly understand the characters and their dynamics. The enemies-to-lovers storyline was done beautifully. Yagiz and Hazan’s chemistry had me completely hooked and honestly… Yagiz is THE dream guy and the greenest forest.

The tension, the yearning, the slow emotional build-up kept me up till the early hours of the morning.

I also loved the family dynamics and the mother-daughter relationships. Every character felt shaped by their past in such a believable way, which made all the relationships feel messy, emotional and real. Fair warning though, most things are way over the top and it gets annoying after a while. But i stayed for Yagiz and Hanan and honestly it was worth it.

I started watching Turkish dramas years ago but eventually a lot of them started feeling repetitive. Then once in a while a show like this comes along and reminds me why I used to binge them so obsessively.

Some other Turkish dramas I’ve loved:

• Kara Sevda
• Aşk 101
• Kiralık Aşk
• Aşk-ı Memnu
• Hercai
• Aşk Mantık İntikam

Would LOVE more such recommendations.

Rewatching Adını Feriha Koydum years later, I realised how much the audience’s morality is shaped by perspective rather than by the actual events themselves.

Feriha is introduced through cinematic sympathy. The camera frames her softly, her silence is treated as depth, her insecurity as vulnerability, her dishonesty as survival. The audience is encouraged to protect her emotionally from the very beginning because she represents the outsider attempting to enter a world built on status and exclusion.
Cansu, on the other hand, is framed almost entirely through excess. She is emotional, reactive, impulsive, jealous, difficult. In television, particularly in dramas centred around romance, women who suffer quietly are often perceived as tragic, whereas women who suffer loudly are perceived as unstable. I think the series relies on that distinction far more than people admit.

What struck me on a rewatch was not whether Cansu behaved well she often did not but how little narrative space is given to her emotional reality.
From her perspective, another girl gradually enters her world and becomes the emotional centre of it. Emir becomes emotionally consumed by Feriha. Their social environment slowly revolves around Feriha. Even the sympathy of adults and authority figures shifts towards her. Meanwhile, Cansu becomes increasingly isolated within spaces that originally belonged to her socially.
The interesting part is that the audience experiences this as romance rather than displacement because the narrative itself belongs to Feriha.
I also think the series creates an uncomfortable contrast between visible and invisible forms of suffering. Feriha’s pain is aesthetically framed: restrained, quiet, dignified. Cansu’s pain is chaotic and public. One is romanticised; the other is criticised.And perhaps that is why so many viewers forgive Feriha for actions they would judge far more harshly in another character. The story constantly grants her emotional legitimacy, whereas Cansu is denied it almost entirely.
I’m not suggesting Cansu was morally right, nor that Feriha was malicious. I simply think the series becomes far more psychologically interesting once you stop viewing it purely as a love story and begin looking at how narrative framing influences audience sympathy.
On a second viewing, Cansu felt less like a villain and more like someone experiencing emotional displacement in real time whilst everybody around her dismissed it.
Curious whether anyone else had a completely different reading of the series after revisiting it years later.

Ahhhhhh! The trailer was not what I was expecting! I thought Adıl would say he'd marry Timurs daughter and then break Esme's heart but the fact he had a plan is amazing! Also his face when Esme is losing it. Maybe there is hope after all for them pair.

I can't believe poor Elani has to hear she's Esme's daughter from Şerif of all people but she's had it confirmed now 😭 I honestly can't wait.

Also love how Elani was giving Hircan exactly what she deserves and telling her of for ruining Esme's life. Such a good trailer was worth the wait.

All this talk of it being delayed for a football match better be just rumors.
