A New Discovery for Entertainment During this Covid-19 Lockdown- Turkish TV Dramas

Have you watch any Turkish TV dramas recently? Last month I watched for the first time a Turkish Drama on Netflix. I enjoyed it so much I searched for more Turkish Dramas and here's the top 10 in my List. I have finished Winter Sun and now binging on Black Money Love. They have all English Subtitles.

Turkish television drama has grown radically since the 2000s. Most dramas reflect Turkish culture and are the country's most well known economic and cultural exports. Turkey is the world's fastest growing television series exporter and has currently overtaken both Mexico and Brazil as the world's second highest television series exporter after the United States.  The television industry has played a pivotal role in increasing Turkey's popularity in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and North Africa.

Turkish series are mostly produced in Istanbul, as television companies chose to settle there after the wave of liberalization for private television in the 1990s. Turkish television channels producing dramas include TRT, Kanal D, SHOW, STAR, ATV, FOX, tv8, and Kanal. The Turkish television series market is marked by stiff local competition: out of the 60 series produced every year in the country, almost 50% do not run for longer than 13 episodes due to the strong competition among the different local channels, resulting in the high quality and popularity of the longer-running productions.

The sudden and immense international popularity since the 2000s of Turkish TV dramas has been widely analyzed as a social phenomenon.(From Wikipedia)

Turkish TV series are also very popular in Spain and Latin America. The popularity of Turkish television series in Latin America and Spain is due to the nature of the plot, the atmosphere and the quality of the shooting of Turkish film production.

Since Turkey is a multicultural country, there are actors for all tastes around. Spectators love the performance of the actors. These series reflect very well the social changes in society, the processes of migration from the village to the city, the problems of domestic violence, early marriage, the division between rich and poor, the problems associated with urbanization and family values. They represent a synthesis of East and West. The world sees it as a geographical and cultural bridge.

Personal Suggestion to Movie, TV and Documentary Producers: The Four Years Presidency Of Trump filled with Chaos, Deceit, Revenge and Poor Leadership Resulting to the Death of a Quarter Million Americans will be a good subject to produce. It will not only be entertaining but also history making on the Life of the Worst President of the US.
