It is understandable that TRT1, which had a great success with the series Masumlar Apartmanı (Innocent Apartments) in the last two seasons in the Tuesday competition, wants to continue this in the new season. However, creating a drama series that will affect millions like the Masumlar Apartmanı is not an easy task.
The first episode of TRT1, which appeared in front of the fans of the series on Tuesday evening, November 1, with its new series titled Yürek Çıkmazı (Heart Impass), showed itself with the rating results of the first episode, where the goal of repeating the success of the Masumlar Apartmanı was not quite realistic.
Adapted from Atike Hınçlıer’s novel of the same name, the Yürek Çıkmazı series is both a strong story and a project made up of good actors. However, in the rating competition on Tuesday evenings, the magnificent performances of Ben Bu Cihana Sığmazam (I Can’t fit in this World) on ATV and Üç Kız Kardeş (Three Sisters) on Kanal D will put a lot of strain on the Yürek Çıkmazı.
With TRT1 releasing the series later than the other two strong rivals, it will not be easy to change the habit formed by the fans of the series.
While the series “Yürek Çıkmazı” achieved average rates with its first episode ratings, neither Üç Kız Kardeş nor Ben Bu Cihana Sığmazam gave the impression that they could come close.
It has been seen that the goal of bringing the audience of the Masumlar Apartmanı series for TRT1 to the Yürek Çıkmazı this time is not very realistic, with the first episode ratings below expectations.
Yürek Çıkmazı is a production that has the potential to rise in the coming weeks. However, the new series will have the disadvantage of having a late start against the two influential series.
Even if the series “Yürek Çıkmazı” can continue with good ratings, it seems that it is not possible to create the effect of Masumlar Apartmanı.
