Alparslan Büyük Selçuklu, the continuation of the series called Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu, continues on TRT1 screens. Both productions received the same criticism. The series, which tells the period of Sultan Melikşah in the Great Seljuk State, which TRT1 brought to the screen with a big production last season, was very popular. The series, which affected a large audience with the name of Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu and won first place in the ratings, was very successful.
Major changes were made for the new series, which is the continuation of this project and tells about the period of Sultan Melikşah’s father, Sultan Alparslan. After important innovations in terms of both the plateau and the cast, the Alparslan Büyük Selçuklu series was broadcast on the TRT1 screen and continues to achieve great success.
There is also a common criticism of both series. There is also a high share of justification in this criticism made over the female lead roles. Hatice Şendil gave life to the character of Terken Hatun in the TV series Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu. The fact that Hatice Şendil, who returned to the series as the leading role after a long break, had botox and that this situation was felt in the series, was the subject of criticism at that time.
After the botox state of Hatice Şendil in the series, a similar criticism is now experienced in the Alparslan Büyük Selçuklu series. Fahriye Evcen, who plays the leading role, was criticized over botox.
Sina Koloğlu, one of the writers of Milliyet, touched upon the female actors with botox in historical TV series and used the following expressions:
“History with Botox… The ‘indispensable women with botox’ of historical TV series continues in ‘Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu’. Fahriye Evcen’s howling scene should have been a splendor of meeting that wolf. Why not pay attention to these details?”
Sina Koloğlu directed the criticism that an important scene in the series could not be shot very well due to Fahriye Evcen’s botox.
