The viewers, who follow exciting, gripping, and heavier series throughout the season, want to see more different series on the screen in the summer season. Among the summer series, most of which are romantic comedies, youth TV series with different themes take their places on the screen in drama productions.
The summer season generally follows a process in which the attention of the audience is distracted, moving away from being a regular viewer, and showing a more distant attitude to television due to the holidays. For this reason, the work of the channels is already difficult from the beginning! It is a very difficult effort to attract the audience to productions that bring excitement to the screen in the evening and make them wait for the next episode!
Although we sometimes see TV series that have very good outputs and carry this success to the season, very few of the summer series in general can continue the season. It is not known which series will continue this summer, which ones will go, but it seems that it is difficult for most of them to continue the season, considering the ratings they have received with the first episodes of the series that have been on the screen for a few weeks, and the interest shown on social media!
Let’s make a general analysis of the TV series that started to appear on the screen in the summer season…
Two series in particular need to be brought forward. One of these TV series, Balkan Ninnisi (Balkan Lullaby) on TRT1, which was shot in Skopje, Macedonia and managed to capture the audience with its naive story, and Tozluyaka, which brings together experienced and young staff on Fox TV, and which is about the class struggle of high school students, should be put aside.
These two series have the distinction of being the two most striking productions among the TV series that started to be broadcast in the summer season. For now, social media returns are also pretty good. Both series have been the most successful productions of the summer season with their ratings so far.
3 episodes of the Balkan Ninnisi series came to the screen. The entertaining narration of a love story draws the viewer with its naive story on the summer screen. With its cast, subject, story and perspective from different cultures, Balkan Ninnisi became a popular production.
The Tozluyaka series is a production that brings together experienced and famous names, young generation and successful actors. At the same time, it attracts the attention of the audience with its story. As a production that we will talk about young generation names often, the series Tozluyaka seems to have proven itself already…
Unfortunately, other productions of the screen are not as lucky as these two series! For example, ATV’s Gül Masalı (Rose Tale) and Fox TV’s Senden Daha Güzel (More Beautiful Than You), which started with high hopes, fail to deliver what is expected to the audience!
The Gül Masalı is a drama story and Senden Daha Güzel is a romantic comedy. But we can say that they started to create their own audience with their ratings and they had a good process.
Expectations are high for Sevmek Zamanı (Time to Love), which is broadcast on ATV on Mondays, but the ratings are low! The series of Deniz Işın and İlhan Şen is not getting the expected attention!
Again, ATV’s İçimizdeki Ateş (Fire Inside) and TRT1’s Seni Kalbime Sakladım (I Saved You For My Heart), although they came to the screen with an ambitious preparation process and promotion, they did not show the desired success!
While TRT1’s Kara Tahta (Blackboard) series is going to the finals, the ratings of Kanal D’s Seversin (You Like) series are not very positive for the channel!
It seems that the summer season will be difficult for the TV series Gizli Saklı (Secret Hidden) on Fox TV, which is presented as a detective comedy and does not give hope with its ratings, although Sinem Ünsal and Halit Özgür Sarı are a good couple!
Looking at the trend, it seems difficult for many series to continue in the new season after the summer season, except for a few series! While the new summer TV series are counting the days to come to the screen, the existing TV series put up a tough struggle on the screen. Let’s see which ones will go and which ones will stay. We’ll wait and see..
