Have you ever experienced the disappointment of investing your time in a TV series only to be let down by the third episode? I certainly have, and I must say that my recent encounter with a certain show has left me feeling disheartened.
The director, Berkin Oya, seemed more interested in criticizing things sequence by sequence rather than telling a cohesive story. The show was didactic and absurd, with no clear plot or character development. It felt like the director was trying to mock sitcoms, but instead, he ended up creating a convoluted mess that left me feeling confused and unsatisfied. Despite the lack of coherence, the director seemed to be successful in keeping me hooked for a while. However, as the episodes progressed, it became apparent that nothing was making sense. It was like watching the Truman Show, but with dozens of different writers and directors, each working independently without any coordination. It was frustrating to watch, and I couldn't help but wonder how anyone could find any entertainment value in it.
To make matters worse, Ilker Canikligil, a prominent figure in the industry, once said that "scripts are not important." Well, Mr. Canikligil, I respectfully disagree. Good writing is the backbone of any successful show, and without it, you end up with a mess like the one I just described.
Despite my disappointment, I must give credit where credit is due. The director managed to make money from this project, which is no small feat. However, I believe that he could have done better. Instead, it's a missed opportunity that left me feeling let down.
