[58571] The Rating Storm and the Future of Drama Series in Turkey

Noise surrounding the rating figures of the drama "Kıskanmak"

The Turkish drama series "Kıskanmak" is at the center of a lively public discussion on social media on May 13, 2026. While some viewers express satisfaction with the plot development, there is professional disagreement regarding the show's rating performance. Dizilah reported the viewership figures while criticizing the series' script, claiming that the creators are trying to "redeem" characters who are criminals and mentally ill. Conversely, fans such as protegeee_ argue that the series manages to maintain impressive stability despite inconsistencies in the channel's broadcast schedule.

Disagreements among the audience

The discussion surrounding the quality of the series highlights conflicting approaches. While users like SebnemKoca1 praise the pacing of the recent episodes and emphasize that "the episode flowed like water," others express sharp criticism of the plot direction. For example, the user byee133 argues that an over-focus on certain characters, such as Nalan, has effectively led to a drop in ratings. On the other hand, kenanistgirl comes to the defense of the production and calls on viewers to avoid calls for the cancellation of the series, noting that "despite all the difficulties, we have a series with good ratings."

Uncertainty regarding the broadcast schedule

In parallel with the content criticism, there is widespread concern among the audience regarding future broadcast breaks. Many viewers are raising recurring questions on social media, including via lollygagPriv, regarding the continuity of broadcasts on May 19 and at the end of the month due to national and religious events in Turkey. It seems the audience fears that these hiatuses will hurt the momentum of the leading series, which adds to the sense of uncertainty among the Turkish drama enthusiast community.
