The fifth season of the Yasak Elma series, which is broadcast on Fox TV, continues successfully. The leading roles in the series are Eda Ece, Şevval Sam, Biran Damla Yılmaz, Berk Oktay and Murat Aygen.
The Yasak Elma series has actually become a production that makes fun of itself. Şevval Sam stated in an interview that they exaggerate the events that are not expected to happen in real life in the series, and that much bigger events in the series are happening in real life.
As in the words of the famous actress, the scenes in the Yasak Elma and punished by the Radio and Television Supreme Council are much worse in real life… In fact, programs such as Müge Anlı ile Tatlı Sert and Esra Erol, in which the details of these events are explained in the daytime programs, attracted great attention, continues to broadcast.
RTÜK sentenced the forbidden love of Kumru and Çağatay in the series. Questioning this situation, which is also defined as the “mistress” penalty, one of the writers of Milliyet, Sina Koloğlu, drew attention to the third page news of the newspapers and emphasized that there are much more serious events in real life with the following statements:
“Yasak Elma was punished on the grounds that there were scenes in which illegitimate relations were shown innocently and the word “mistress”, which is a negative social concept, was normalized. This mistress situation is sometimes negative, sometimes it is considered normal with the ‘life partner’ sauce.
Also, aren’t we watching the “variety of relationships that have become quite normal” in the daytime? I looked at the third page of a newspaper, recently it was full of violence against women. Family values in the reality of life have already taken their toll… What is the general morality concept of this society? Is it what we see or what we experience?”
Sina Koloğlu questions the general morality concept of society in this message. It draws attention to the great difference between what we watch and what we experience.
Considering the penalties given to the Yasak Elma TV series, it is questionable that daytime programs can continue their broadcasts in such a rambling way.
While RTÜK is watching the Yasak Elma carefully, is it aware of what’s going on in the daytime programs? Here, the audience raises this question as well. Of course, warnings can be given to TV series about violating the general moral structure of society, but while what we experience in real life is so harsh, isn’t what happened in the lines much lighter?
