It was a great shock that the Mahkum (Prisoner) series, which had a great break on the Fox TV screen last season, started the second season with big changes, but ended with the 31st episode.
While the Mahkum series’ falling into this situation is being questioned, those who see the ratings of the Darmaduman series, which started instead, cannot help but be sad.
The Mahkum series completed its screen life by making the final on Saturday, October 29, with its 31st episode. Darmaduman, which started in place of the Mahkum series last Thursday, failed to make a serious difference in the ratings.
Despite the fact that 4 influential young actors such as Hafsanur Sancaktutan, Mert Yazıcıoğlu, Aslıhan Malbora and Aytaç Şaşmaz met in the lead roles, the Darmaduman series started its screen life with the ratings that an ordinary series can achieve.
The Darmaduman series set out as the domestic version of the Beverly Hills series, which left its mark on a period, and it is imperative that it progress with much better ratings in the coming weeks. Because the competition on Thursday is tough and Fox TV is longing for good ratings.
We know that the first episode of Darmaduman was ninth in the all-person category, eighth in the AB and tenth in ABC1. The ratings are also below average in all categories, but not too bad. The results of the next 2-3 episodes will be decisive for Darmaduman, which seems to attract an audience that can rectify the situation.
It should be noted that the ratings of the 31st and final episode of the Mahkum series are low, but although it is slightly behind the Darmaduman series, there is no difference between the two series that will contribute greatly to Fox TV.
So, the Mahkum series is finished, but there is no guarantee that Darmaduman or any other productions that started in its place will get better results than it.
