Özge Gürel, Kaan Yıldırım and Kerem Alışık starring. The 4 episodes of the Sipahi series, which is broadcast on the Show TV screen on Monday evenings, met with the audience. The goal was to achieve the success of the “Teşkilat” (Organization) series, which has been going on for 3 seasons and can get very good ratings.
However, this goal of the creators of the Sipahi series does not seem to have been realized for now. In fact, it is necessary to do much more for Sipahi to reach the point where a very effective action series like The Teşkilat has reached.
Even if a good image is displayed with two influential leading actors such as Kaan Yıldırım and Özge Gürel, the audience must be curious about the script as much as the story and its presentation.
According to many viewers, the Sipahi project is mentioned as a production that replicates the Teşkilat series. Of course, it should not be unfair to those who work, but there are reasons for the audience to experience this feeling deeply.
Those who watch the series find it very complex and state that they are confused. In other words, although the established order looks good, the story did not affect the audience that much.
Although fans who see Özge Gürel in the action series for the first time are pleased with this, criticism of Canan’s character is also increasing on social media. Even the fact that a name like Özge Gürel, who has a large fan base abroad, took the lead role was not enough to save the Sipahi series.
It is clear that things are not going well with the below-average ratings. The wanted criminal in the production team was found. With the change of director, the account of the failure in the series was cut. Director Hakan İnan left and was replaced by Doğan Ümit Karaca, who proved his success in action series such as Payitaht Abdülhamid and Barbaroslar Akdeniz’in Kılıcı.
How much the change of director will affect the series will be revealed in the upcoming episodes. But the problem, according to viewers, lies in the script.
Some series fans find the script very good and share that each character’s story is deep. However, some series fans share messages stating that they are confused and have difficulty following the series.
There are also those who think that some of Özge Gürel’s facial expressions and movements in the series do not go into the action story, and that she acts as if she is in a romantic comedy series.
As a result, the efforts for the Sipahi series are great, and the target is also great. However, the rating results obtained are not satisfactory.
The contribution of the change of director to the series will be limited, but it must be admitted that the criticism that it copied the series of The Teşkilat was the point that caused the biggest damage to the series.
