The Pit completed the third season of the series in Turkey, will return to the screen again in September with the final fourth season. The beloved series of Show TV has always been criticized for its violent scenes. Many complaints were made to RTÜK. Because of the series, Show TV had to pay huge penalties.
In The Pit series, arrangements were made by not writing violence scenes for the hours that children could be on the screen, reducing the dose of violence and restricting the number of scenes with violence. However, despite all these measures, the critique of violence against the series has never ended.
The Pit series is currently being broadcast in Afghanistan and it is still in trouble because of the violence scenes. The demand of Afghanistan Ministry of Information and Culture to be taken off the series resonated.
The Pit series, broadcast on Tolo TV, has millions of fans in Afghanistan. The production, which also broke rating records, has been published in the country since December 2018.
Discussions continue in Afghanistan, where the second season of The Pit continues.
Minister of Information and Culture of Afghanistan, Shiva Sark, sent a message to the TV channel in order to remove the series from his Facebook account.
So why has such a point been reached in Afghanistan? One of the most important reasons is that The Pit series has a worrying effect on the psychological state of society in the country that has difficulties in maintaining public order.
Tolo television can ignore this request. However, it is also possible for the government to take measures.
Minister Şark said, “I wrote a letter on Tolo TV about the screening of The Pit. I asked this television not to show such series. The negligence of the laws will be handled within the framework of the existing laws. ”
The most important reason for this point is the rising wave of criticism on the social media of the Pit series.
