The long read: Shows such as Magnificent Century have come to rival US TV for international popularity, sweeping through the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. What explains their global success?

‘The first agreement we should make is: don’t call them soap operas,” Dr Arzu Ozturkmen, who teaches oral history at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, scolds me. “We are very much against this.” What Turkey produces for television are not soap operas, or telenovelas, or period dramas: they are dizi. They are a “genre in progress”, declares Ozturkmen, with unique narratives, use of space and musical scores. And they are very, very popular.

Evet bravo 👏👏The best turkish show is ThePriceOfPassion SiyahBeyazAşk ibrahimçelikkol birceakalay‌ KanalD KanalDsales

Celikkol_North The intricate storytelling is superb and the pyschology and character development in the tv shows are second to none. I would go as far that the Turkish writers are not afraid to write about social issues, controversial themes and current issues of the day.

Celikkol_North It has taken over many countries for years. We have been watching them for the last 15 years. Also, the Latin American fans, there is a definite cult following. There are so many FB fan clubs of many actors.

Women who have headscarves have longer worked in every realm of business life and studied in universities freely. Turkey, at this point, is now even more democratic and free. For the record, The wife and mother of Atatürk were both headscarfed! (3)

The fact, Western civilization that has always been shown itself as a more defender of freedom and humanitarian values should not evaluate such bans which had been implemented until the existing ruling power came to the power. (2)

It is a very long article nevertheless I mostly read it but there is a paragraph in which some expressions could not be accepted by Turkish pp, namely 'The veil – which Atatürk lambasted as a “spectacle that makes the nation an object of ridicule” – did not fare much better.'(1)

Wait till they start to broadcast the news with subtitles. The president and his drama are everywhere. It’s surreal y’all.

“It won’t be the end of the Turkish dizi invasion' -- true, and I'm here for it. PS: I read the entire Long Read!

How could this happens? Nobody in the world understand the bloody language.

Çünkü ülkede senaryo bitmiyor

Some of the comments to this article are just... woop! So the mere idea of Turkish TV 'taking over die wereld' makes you this jittery? Gurgles your stomach? You guys are just so precious! Really! And relax -- this is TV, not extremists with explosives strapped to their chests.

Not ours. Might be more entertaining than current Scandi misery.

Nice article. In fact, the imagination of writers in Turkey, not just from the series sold to other countries.

Guardian, Turkish TV is taking over *my* world and I'm letting and watching it happen! I just... woop! But I've also been this melêe about Spanish telenovs before, South Korean and Bollywood as well -- I hope the Turks are here to stay. Mm-hm. OnlyTimeWillTell NumbersNeverLie

Nice. What World this is?

Turkey is threatening a European country on a daily basis and this is what you write about? Shame on you!

Because Turkish TV shows are the same as real life.The dead don't walk, no cars fly, no dragons, no zombies😉

Magnificent Century certainly has been shown in many,many countries around the world 😀

its so 'taking over the world'.

Honestly love them too, watched on netflix 😂 I loved “The End,” (mysterious drama) “Can’t run from Love,” (ex pat returns to Turkey from London, soap opera) & “Magnificent century” (ottoman drama) Really really addictive shows!

Is it tho

Turkish film and television is outstanding- the direction is beautiful and the stories thoughtful.

Nigel_Farage was right after all! He is the new Messiah!

Turkish TV shows are like telenovelas, you know it's baaaad acting but you can't stop watching Addiction Turkey

Emmerdale actor sacked after TV awards clash'My behaviour at the TV Choice Awards was completely unacceptable,' says actor Asan N'Jie. Is anyone going to tell us what jamielomas1 said It is racist of ITV to sack him. Like millions of us he must have been upset about the catastrophe of Brexit. So many in the People's Vote campaign have been made psychotic by Tory lies. A little understanding is called for with this young man. Eastenders needs actors to pick there ratings up.
