Engin Günaydın

The famous actor Engin Günaydın, whose latest TV show for the digital platform Gain 10 thousand steps proved to be very successful, in a recent interview with Episode magazine, said that the era of television series is coming to an end. And this is not only his opinion, this is the opinion of the entire industry. In conversations with each other, the workers have long been in sadness, despite criticism, the situation in the industry is not improving.

They have to constantly make compromises due to the length of the episode and the rushed script. He had to leave the last television series due to health problems caused by a busy work schedule. Filming in this project was boring, his enthusiasm for the profession he chose was undermined.

Fortunately, digital platforms have emerged that enable creative development. They have projects that he likes and excites his imagination. He is happy that he has such a job. Recall that the actor is now preparing a project for the Netflix digital platform.

The main difference is that digital platforms treat TV shows like cinema. TV series in Turkey are created on the basis of a narrow understanding of what TV series are in general. Actors, film crews, filming techniques are trapped in this small space. Of course, first, because of the busy filming schedule. We must remember that we make movies, says Engin, and TV shows are cinema too, they must apply the universal laws of filmmaking. It’s good that digital platforms have reminded us of this.
