Turn feelings into words that hurt and heal

Ratings of Turkish TV

The show “Eşref’s Dream (Eşref Rüya)” lost 1.44% in Total and 0.42% in AB. For any show, a loss of nearly one and a half percent in Total appears to be a very poor result; however, in this case, it will in no way affect the future of the show, as the drop was caused by objective circumstances, specifically the Galatasaray vs. Atletico Madrid match. Football has a special status in Turkey, and when such clubs meet in the Champions League, no other television show can stand its ground. Next week, the appearance of a direct competitor to “Eşref’s Dream (Eşref Rüya)” – the show “Underground (Yeraltı)” – is expected, and that is when the true position of the show will become clear.

The show “The Defenseless (Sahipsizler)” grew by 0.79% in Total but lost 0.40% in AB. The show by OGM Pictures continues to maintain good positions in Total but is frankly sagging in AB. It is not yet clear how this will affect its future fate, but nonetheless, producer Onur Güvenatam will most likely be able to keep it on the air until the end of the season.

The show “The Ottoman (Kuruluş: Orhan)” lost 0.21% in Total and 0.35% in AB. Alas, for now, producer Mehmet Bozdağ’s show continues to lose its audience, and there is no way to stop this process. Whether the show can stay on the air, especially as competition only intensifies, is a major question.
