What your opinion about the Turkish series?

[Dušan]

All Balkan TV channels show some sort of Turkish soap operas. Surely you must have known that.

Mexican and Venezuelan telenovelas were more popular in Balkans, than Turkish or Indian.

I found them pretty dull but the women are mostly above average looking .Thats what cought my artistic( bragging) eye .

Nowadays, Turkey is a superpower in serial production, it even competes with the USA. Turkish soap operas are broadcast in many countries around the world, they are especially popular in LATAM, the Middle East, Central and South Asia, and the Balkans.

That's extremely surprising to learn, tbh no one under 35 really watches Turkish series where I live.

Are lightly-pigmented atypical Turks still over-represented in Turkish series?

ROFL when was that the case? Really, give me the name of the show. I think you're confusing Turkey with Brasil?

I skim through the 'historical' ones with mild interest due to the fact that Byzantines are always portrayed bad-ass if somewhat unhistorical (so the Ottomans can look cooler by proxy for beating them).

Too long. Lol I used to watch but was not able to complete any of them so ended up dropping them

[Barba]

It seems Turks always find the way how to conquer Balkans.

Where do you live?

Currently in Istanbul, but this was the case for nearly everywhere I've been in Turkey. Of course, there are always one or two exceptions per couple of years, the latest was Çukur, and before that, I remember Medcezir. I sometimes watch Kızılcık Şerbeti but I have a feeling that these are not the ones that are broadcasted outside of Turkey, especially the last show.
