TRT 1 brought the Barbaroslar Akdeniz’in Kılıcı series to the screen with great confidence this season. Great preparations were made for the series, which was shot with extremely large budgets. But the result was a huge disappointment. Viewers criticize the show very harshly.
With a very ambitious name like Engin Altan Düzyatan in the lead role, Barbaroslar Akdeniz’in Kılıcı has been the biggest disappointment of not only TRT 1 but also all series this season. Because the sets were built by spending huge budgets for the series, and huge fees were paid to the actors.
However, the targeted success was not achieved. In the atmosphere created before the start of the series, it was expected to be the most successful and most talked about production of this season. It even seemed guaranteed to be number one in the Thursday competition. Barbaroslar Akdeniz’in Kılıcı did not reach a rating that could achieve this great goal, as it has been since the first episode, in the last episode aired last night.
Due to the fact that the ratings were below expectations, the story and cast of Barbaroslar Akdeniz’in Kılıcı were changed. While Melis Babadağ and Gülcan Arslan were saying goodbye to the story, Cemre Gümeli joined the team.
However, this change made the audience very unhappy. Especially the removal of Zeynep character, played by Melis Babadağ, from the story did not please the audience. The audience argued that Zeynep was wasted and that the story was worse as it is.
One viewer who reacted very harshly to the show wrote: “After every episode I watch, I regret watching a show that made people fool. The episode I watched yesterday was the last episode for me. Engin Altan’s credit is up to a point.”
Another viewer pointed out that the story was very boring and said, “Today is my last day, it’s so boring, will the drama continue by being trapped every time? Very simple scenario. And you say history is being told, what date is this?” he wrote.
Another viewer’s reaction was Zeynep’s departure. The audience expressed his reaction as follows: “Did they waste Zeynep on this repulsive girl? It’s a real shame.. They wasted a character like Zeynep. It’s a pity indeed.”
