There are signs that the Forbidden Fruit series has entered a downtrend in recent weeks. This decline is felt both at the point of the story and the ratings indicate that the audience interest started to decrease. In fact, when the ratings were low for a while when the 4th season of the series started, important steps were taken by the production.
As of episode 85, it was noteworthy that 5 characters were separated and a new era started. The renewed cast of the series, in which Erdal Özyağcılar, Berk Oktay and Gülenay Kalkan participated, and the fact that the story began to differentiate attracted the attention of the audience and the ratings peaked for a while. However, a decline started again afterwards.
Since the absurdities in the Forbidden Fruit series were seen as a comedy element by the audience, whatever was done was accepted. But in the last few weeks, a fluttering has been observed in the story. It would not be wrong to say that it is a Forbidden Fruit thrown away. New characters and new steps are being taken to balance this swing.
For example, while Şahika and Ender cooperation comes to the fore, Yıldız is trying to fight them alone. The love of Çağatay and Yıldız started with problems and did not attract the attention of the audience. Also Nilperi Şahinkaya participated in the production with the character of Cansu. Then we saw Çiğdem Sakarya entering the story with the character of Nurgül.
The excitement element of the story was tried to be increased with new characters. However, it was revealed with the ratings of the 95th episode, which was broadcast last night, that this has no big effect on the audience anymore.
In all categories, it can be said that the series is no longer able to go beyond a certain point and shows a tendency to fall. Last night’s ratings, which are at 6 rating levels, also tell us that all the moves made do not have much counterpart anymore.
The series, which went up to 9 ratings sometime in the 2020-2021 season, loses power, albeit slowly, and despite all the efforts of the team, it may not be possible to stop this blood loss.
The detail that brought the Forbidden Fruit to this point is the Maraşlı series on the ATV. There is a transition between the two productions that appeal to similar audience groups. In other words, the audience, who is bored with the Forbidden Fruit, gets stuck in the Maraşlı series. While this increases the series of ATV, Forbidden Fruit is experiencing a decline.
