Turkish TV: Dramas become a global streaming success - BBC News

an action-adventure a coming-of-age

drama a mystery rooted in the past and a

military epic what do these shows have

in common they're all part of Turkish TV

exports which have enjoyed a huge

success overseas for many years

Turkey's TV industry to rank second only

to the US in terms of TV exports and

plays a major role in how Turkey's

history culture and politics are seen

around the world Moodle course Navarro

oranges this is the dubbed older version

of the blockbuster drama delish a turtle

which started airing in Pakistan in

April the show has racked up over half a

billion views on YouTube alone and even

charmed politicians Pakistani Prime

Minister

Imran Khan is apparently a big fan as is

venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro so

what's the secret behind the popularity

of Turkish TV I put this question to

German Turkish actor Mehmed Kota Bush

who stars in a new Netflix series into

the night on the one hand they they

combine the oriental values of family of

dealing which is with each other and on

the other hand the combination is

between orient Belgians with the

Occident entertainment excitement

thanks to global streaming services

turkish dramas are now available in 190

countries and in the process they have

adapted to a global market in 2018

netflix launched the protector its first

Turkish series the show keeps classic

themes as traditional long-running

Turkish dramas but boils it all down to

a Ben jables run of 10 40 minute

episodes and it's worked more seasons

new series and the first ever Netflix

original film from Turkey has since

followed Netflix and all the other

streaming platforms who are entering

that region will teach the Turkish

filmmakers to keep their identity but

make it the national for the

International telling language that does

not mean English or Turkish I'm I'm

talking about how this the show is

crafted Turkey based streaming services

kuhu TV and blue TV also produced

original content

not everyone revels in the success of

Turkish dramas

some say that popular Turkish TV series

tend to rewrite history in line with

religious conservative and nationalist

narratives meanwhile Turkish

conservatives complained that some

productions promote immorality Turkey's

TV watchdog has issued fines in the past

for encouraging the use of alcohol and

going against family values

more recently the Turkish Netflix

production love 101 was warned over

immorality amid rumors that it may

feature an LGBT character so while

Turkish TV

enjoys a huge success overseas it also

reflects a struggle within Turkey

between the conservative and liberal

values
