There are plenty of characters that are not full of bad or good traits. Many of them have shades of gray, which makes the narrative super interesting. Here is the list of characters that you might have found compelling enough to make you look forward to season three of The Tailor.

I’d never seen a Turkish drama, so I was curious to find out what all the fuss was about. And when The Tailor showed up on Netflix, I got the perfect opportunity to test the waters. Although the over-the-top dramatics and the long slow-motion shots were a bit too much for me personally, I can understand why it could be an easy and quick watch with a new twist every episode. With every episode ending on a cliffhanger, it is sure to hook you in and make you wonder what the secrets are. It is easy to predict what is going to happen somewhere around the midpoint of the series, so it brings down the excitement for the show a little bit. Nevertheless, the last episode is sort of rewarding in the sense that it leaves you wanting more (because we already have a trailer for Season 2).

The Tailor is a Turkish series loaded with a plethora of varied feelings.
Don’t be fooled by its luxurious beginning, after only ten minutes the series turns to Turkish traditionalism and rural atmosphere.
The Tailor (2023) About the series
What can we say about Turkish soap operas?

"Help me find her, Peyami." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a Turkish series titled The Tailor, or just Terzi in Turkish, streaming on Netflix this May. Another localized offering from Netflix as part of their deal within many different countries right now. Terzi tells the story of Peyami, a young and famous tailor who inherited talent and a business from his grandfather. Peyami begins to sew a wedding dress for his best friend's fiance – but all three have dark secrets that will soon upend their lives. Of course, as usual. Starring Çağatay Ulusoy, Salih Bademci, Şifanur Gül, Olgun Şimşek, Ece Sükan, Zeynep Özyurt Tarhan, Murat Kilic, Celile Toyon, Vedat Erincin, and Lila Gürmen. Looks like an intensely melodramatic series, with perilous secrets sewn right into the tapestry of the story involving multiple generations, lovers, affairs, and more. Instead of watching this, I'd recommend watching Mark Rylance in The Outfit as a tailor.

As Turkey’s TV industry reels from the shock of the country’s sharp currency devaluation, Netflix is starting to establish its footprint and get traction in a market that remains among the world’s top five exporters of serial dramas.
“The roughly 40% tumble of the Turkish lira amid tensions between populist presidents Donald Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan has caused interest rates to skyrocket and linear broadcasters’ advertising revenues to shrink,” says Ahmet Ziyalar, COO of prominent sales company Inter Medya. “As a result, due to budgeting problems, the number of successful dramas [on linear TV] decreased dramatically this season.”
Ziyalar calls 2019 an experimental year for the Turkish industry. “Digital platforms have been trying things that were long in-the-waiting,” both thematically and in terms of shorter episode lengths, since Turkish dramas on linear TV run between 120 and 150 minutes, excluding ads, he notes. That’s an “old-fashioned” format that could be on its way out,...

Netflix has announced its second Turkish original, supernatural drama “The Gift,” toplining local star Beren Saat, who is best-known for playing the lead in female empowerment drama “Fatmagul,” which was a global hit.
Shooting has started in Istanbul, with British producer Alex Sutherland (“Argo”) shepherding the eight-episode show, which is produced by Turkey’s Og Medya for Netflix. Netflix has already commissioned two seasons of “The Gift.”
Saat (second from left), who is among the country’s highest-paid talents, will play a young Istanbul artist named Atiye, whose life changes when she encounters an archaeologist. A discovery is made at the site of an ancient temple, called Gobeklitepe, where secrets of her past are hidden, according to promotional materials.
“We are thrilled to be working with Beren in her return to series as she brings a dynamic female character like Atiye to life,” said Kelly Luegenbiehl, Netflix Vice President of International Originals,...

Netflix has released the trailer for a wild looking Turkish fantasy action series called The Protector. The series stars Çagatay Ulusoy as Hakan, a man given supernatural powers by a mysterious talisman.
Can Evrenol helms the series so it should be pretty imaginative, if not completely in the horror realm.
Synopsis:
Given mystical powers by a talismanic keepsake, a young man embarks on a quest to fight shadowy forces and solve a mystery from his past.

A few days ago Netflix dropped the trailer for its upcoming Turkish fantasy action series, The Protector. The series, starring Çagatay Ulusoy as Hakan, the titular protector, as a man given supernatural powers by a mysterious talisman. These powers translate into a whole lot of ass kicking and a new set of supercharged pals who are charged with training and protecting him from The Immortal, a kind of evil cognate. The whole thing looks pretty rad, and while I confess to not knowing a whole lot about Turkish film, but I do know that of the 13 episodes Netflix has lined up for this new event, our friend Can Evrenol is at the helm with what looks like a pretty sizable sandbox to play...

The sharp devaluation of the Turkish lira on foreign currency markets amid tensions between populist Presidents Donald Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan is prompting Turkey’s TV industry to increasingly turn toward the global marketplace, where it is second only to the U.S. in terms of scripted content exports.
Exports are clearly becoming more important as producers in some cases get almost twice as much money from international, just as local linear broadcasters are cutting their budgets due to a drop in advertising intake.
Inflation is high in the country, and the Turkish lira has lost roughly 40% of its value against the U.S. dollar 40% year over year.
“The economic downturn is prompting a push toward partnerships and co-productions, but also toward making Turkish stories more international by making more shows that can play on global streaming giants,” says Ates Ince, managing director of new sales company Madd, a...
