Kızılcık Şerbeti (The Cranberry Sherbet) series, which is broadcast on Show TV on Friday evenings, is progressing by increasing its ratings and attracting more and more attention with each passing week.
The fact that secular and conservative families, with whom many families in Turkey have experienced, participate in a common life through their children has become the driving force of the series.
Criticism began to increase for the series, which started with the marriage of a young woman named Doğa, who grew up in a secular family, to a young man named Fatih, who grew up in a conservative family, and about the great experiences of families from two different cultures.
However, we can say that these criticisms are very diverse and show great differences according to the cultural identity of those who criticize and the way they read the world.
Among these criticisms, the most serious criticism made by those who prefer a secular life is towards the character of Fatih. The scenes in which the character, successfully portrayed by Doğukan Güngör, aims to make his wife Doğa look like his own family over time and reveals this with his words, draws a lot of reaction.
The audience, who grew up in a conservative family, reveals the discomfort of a situation such that families with this way of thinking are shown as cold and intolerant in the story of the series.
The viewers, who wear hijab and see it as a part of their life, are disturbed by the fact that the women of the family in the series only have their heads covered, but their wrists are out and they have an extremely exaggerated state. Those who make these criticisms are criticizing especially with the claim that conservative families are characterized as intolerant.
The viewers, who prefer veiling, stating that they enter every environment and are at peace with every segment, and that they show tolerance by talking to everyone, reveal that they are uncomfortable with the way it is reflected in the series.
