The great ratings achieved with the Mucize Doktor (Miracle Doctor) series, which left its mark on a period and lasted for two seasons, the explosion of interest in the social media and the sales abroad made the doctor series stand out.
Together with the Kasaba Doktoru (Town Doctor), TRT1 stepped into this field last season. The series presented a good story with the magnificent performance of Ozan Akbaba and the contributions of his co-stars Deniz Can Aktaş, Hazal Subaşı and Vildan Atasever. The series, which attracted more attention in the first season, could not achieve the expected ratings in the second season.
It couldn’t be expected to continue for a long time as the Kasaba Doktoru series failed to make a difference in the ratings. It turned out that there was a determination to continue the series until the 32nd episode. The series, which has 23 episodes so far, is expected to make a final after 9 episodes.
Although it is the first worldwide adaptation of the American series New Amsterdam, which has just started on Show TV, we observe that the audience of Hayat Bugün (Life Today) does not embrace this story enough.
The series, which received better ratings in the first two episodes, then fell and could not attract the attention of the audience enough. This situation leads to an assessment that Hayat Bugün will not have a long screen life.
The main reason why the doctor series made after the Mucize Doktor series, which is unforgettable with the magnificent Ali Vefa performance of Taner Ölmez, was the lack of a motif that would pierce the heart of the audience.
The character of Ali Vefa with savant autism syndrome, despite being a different personality, had a social meaning in showing everyone that he could be successful. The audience also found this awareness point in the story very important. Thanks to this, the Mucize Doktor series gained great success.
The Kasaba Doktoru and Hayat Life series, on the other hand, were seen as ordinary stories because they did not reveal such a special situation that would attract the audience, and the audience’s interest remained low.
