Star TV series named Ömer was adapted from the Israeli TV series Shtisel. In fact, Shtisel, in which the life of a Jewish family is told, has a very foreign story to Turkey.
However, the fact that the Shtisel series is about the life of a Jewish family with a strong religious aspect, and the transformation of a religiously-oriented Muslim family into the life of a Muslim family with Ömer series revealed a great success story.
The transformation of Shtisel, which is a series suitable for the cultural conditions in Israel, and its success in a country like Turkey, which has a Muslim population, has an international meaning.
The fact that the TV series Ömer, which also stands out with its influential leading roles such as Gökçe Bahadır and Selahattin Paşalı, could stop at the point where it started in the last winter season, and that its ratings were always at a good level, were related to the power of the story.
The reflection of the TV series Ömer in Israel, which affected millions of viewers with the great effect of his acting performances, was also remarkable. Television critic Sina Koloğlu shared some information on this issue on social media.
The words of Nadav Palti, President of Dori Media Group, the Israeli producer of the TV series Ömer, were interesting. Nadav Palti is very pleased that the TV series Ömer, born with Shtisel, has gained an undeniable momentum and appreciation from the audience.
Nadav Palti says, “We are honored that our internationally acclaimed work is handled in harmony with Muslim culture and traditions. The success of the TV series Ömer proves the universality of the themes, especially in romantic dramas. It is clear that the dramas continue to be watched in prime time by viewers around the world. We are delighted to see this international success continue.”
The TV series Ömer, which had great success in its first season, will continue to be on the screen in the next winter period. There are millions of viewers who are curious about the story of the series, and the potential of achieving stronger international success with the overseas sales of the series seems high.
