Analysis Special – Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sherbet), which is broadcast on Show TV and continues on its way with very good ratings on Friday evenings, has not been on the agenda of social media lately. Kızılcık Şerbeti, which succeeded in passing the Yalı Çapkını (Golden Boy), which was described as the most successful series of the season last Friday, in the AB group, suddenly took on a different power with its story built on relationships. This power resulted in the screenwriters attracting millions of viewers to the Show TV screen through relationships.
We know that the aim of displaying a realistic view of socially diverse family structures has deviated when the series first started. We have made various assessments on this subject before.
The screenwriters are in the first episodes; They tried to proceed with the main idea that conservative and secular families had similar values to each other, even though they actually looked different. However, when this main idea was not enough to strengthen the series, this time stories focused on relationships emerged.
The ebb and flow of the Fatih relationship with Doğa. The fact that the flirting between Kıvılcım and Ömer led to the opening of the old notebooks were important issues.
Afterwards, we witnessed that the wind of love that started between the character of Nursema and Umut ended in a very different way. Nursema was married to İbrahim under family pressure. While Umut blamed herself, Nursema could not accept this situation and attempted suicide.
It was precisely in such an environment that Abdullah, who married his daughter Nursema to a man he did not love, citing his customs and traditions, came to the point where he confessed his love to a young woman, which would not be accepted in this life philosophy.
Of course, it was normal to receive criticisms such as encouraging violence and oppression against women, and normalizing it through the character of Nursema…
Thousands of posts were made on this subject on social media. The Kızılcık Şerbeti series, in addition to being number one in the AB group in the ratings, was also on the agenda on social media.
However, at this point, we changed things when the screenwriters revealed the power of the story in their hands uncontrollably, and a hard drama that disturbed the audience through Nursema. Now it is necessary to see the fact that the screenwriters have lost control.
As a result of this loss of control, Chairman of the Radio and Television Supreme Council Ebubekir Şahin announced that an investigation was started on the series. So there is a possibility of a big penalty for the series.
Ebubekir Şahin says: “An investigation has been started on broadcasts that promote violence against women and oppression of women in the TV series called Kızılcık Şerbeti at Show TV media service provider. It is announced to the public with respect.”
When the screenwriters of the Kızılcık Şerbeti series saw the rating for the character of Nursema, they started a very harsh process, causing the series to encounter these reactions.
From where to where! The Kızılcık Şerbeti series starts off with the enthusiasm of shedding light on the values of conservative and secular families, is subject to criticism of violence against women, and is moving towards the point of distorted relations.
