Friday’s ratings brought Turkish viewers a new show, "This Sea Will Overflow" (Taşacak Bu Deniz), which had a very strong start in both categories. Of course, the first numbers don’t mean much yet, but many Turkish TV superhits began from similar positions. One can only wish the project a long and successful journey on Turkish television.
The show "Cranberry Sherbet" (Kızılcık Şerbeti) lost 0.64% in Total and 2.20% in AB. The drop in AB is quite significant and is most likely related to the arrival of a powerful newcomer that drew part of the audience away. It seems the coming weeks will be very interesting in terms of competition — and the winner is likely to be the veteran of Turkish television, "Backstreets" (Arka Sokaklar), now celebrating its 20th season.
The show "Love and Tears" (Aşk ve Gözyaşı) lost 0.66% in Total and 1.59% in AB. With such negative dynamics, shows in Turkish television rarely last long, and even international sales are unlikely to help. At best, this will allow the project to wrap up its story coherently within the next month or so.
Total:
1. Backstreets (Arka Sokaklar) - 6.71%⬇
2. Cranberry Sherbet (Kızılcık Şerbeti) - 6.03%⬇
6. This Sea Will Overflow (Taşacak Bu Deniz) - 3.87%🆕
14. Love and Tears (Aşk ve Gözyaşı) - 2.19%⬇
AB:
1. Cranberry Sherbet (Kızılcık Şerbeti) - 5.08%⬇️
2. This Sea Will Overflow (Taşacak Bu Deniz) - 4.15%🆕
5. Backstreets (Arka Sokaklar) - 2.51%⬇️
7. Love and Tears (Aşk ve Gözyaşı) - 2.32%⬇️

The show "The Successor" (Halef) rose by 0.05% in Total and by 1.34% in AB. It seems that the Turkish audience is responding with great enthusiasm to this new project, whose creators face a very challenging task: it’s not enough to reach the top — they must also manage to stay there. The coming weeks will be especially difficult for the series.
The show "The Heir" (Veliaht) increased by 0.75% in Total and by 0.17% in AB. Despite some fluctuations, viewers have decided to join the show, which continues to expand its presence on air with each new episode, even in the face of strong competition.
Total:
1. The Successor (Halef) - 8.07%⬆
3. The Heir (Veliaht) - 4.99%⬆
AB:
1. The Successor (Halef) - 5.30%⬆
2. The Heir (Veliaht) - 5.20%⬆

The show "Eşref’s Dream" (Eşref Rüya) rose by 0.93% in Total and by 0.89% in AB. Producer Timur Savcı’s project is doing excellently on Turkish television, increasing its audience with each new episode. Fans only hope that the trend will continue and that interest in the series will keep growing — not only in Turkey, but also abroad.
The show "Orphans" (Sahipsizler) lost 0.13% in Total but rose by 0.54% in AB. Overall, producer Onur Güvenatam’s project is maintaining its audience quite steadily. The main thing for the writers is not to overreact or make abrupt changes in an attempt to attract more viewers. The best they can do is to keep their audience and not betray its expectations.
The show "Debt of Life" (Can Borcu) dropped by 0.68% in Total and 0.24% in AB. The ATV project has been decided to end, and as usual, the network has started moving it around the schedule, losing its remaining viewers. However, it will air its finale next week.
Total:
1. Eşref’s Dream (Eşref Rüya) - 9.87%⬆️
3. Orphans (Sahipsizler) - 5.28%⬇️
16. Debt of Life (Can Borcu) - 1.92%⬇️
AB:
1. Eşref’s Dream (Eşref Rüya) - 7.30%⬆️
3. Orphans (Sahipsizler) - 2.06%⬆️

The show "Eyes the Color of the Black Sea" (Gözleri Karadeniz) lost 0.40% in Total and 0.40% in AB. The project holds very weak positions in AB and it is critically important not to lose its Total audience — this puts it on the brink of cancellation.
The show "Bahar" (Bahar) rose by 0.95% in Total but lost 0.62% in AB. It seems that the writers have found the “key” to the hearts of regular viewers, and even in its third season the project is showing decent results. However, it is unlikely to continue for another season, though it may well run until May if there is no collapse in ratings.
The show "Mehmed the Conqueror" (Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı) increased by 0.64% in Total and by 0.32% in AB. Overall, the state channel’s project has a stable, though not very large, audience, which allows it to remain confidently on air, relying on the favorable attitude of management that is not overly concerned about ratings that are “not high enough.”
The show "Envy" (Kıskanmak) grew by 0.10% in Total and by 0.51% in AB. The general audience still treats the project with some indifference, while the AB audience views it somewhat more favorably. However, the numbers are still insufficient for it to remain on air for a full season.
The show "The Fall of The King" (Kral Kaybederse) rose by 0.08% in Total but lost 0.47% in AB. Unfortunately, with such figures, producer Onur Güvenatam’s project will, at best, last until the New Year.
Total:
1. Eyes the Color of the Black Sea (Gözleri Karadeniz) - 4.50%⬇️
4. Bahar (Bahar) - 4.04%⬆️
2. Mehmed the Conqueror (Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı) - 4.00%⬆️
6. Envy (Kıskanmak) - 3.54%
14. The Fall of The King (Kral Kaybederse) - 2.75%⬆️
AB:
1. Envy (Kıskanmak) - 4.08%⬆️
2. Mehmed the Conqueror (Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı) - 3.95%⬆️
4. Bahar (Bahar) - 3.53%⬇️
5. The Fall of The King (Kral Kaybederse) - 2.56%⬇️

The show "Distant City" (Uzak Şehir) rose by 0.77% in Total but lost 0.92% in AB. It seems that wealthy and educated viewers reacted to the new plot twist with greater skepticism than ordinary viewers, who are enjoying the story very much. As long as the Total ratings continue to grow, the creators of the series have no reason to concern themselves with the preferences of a comparatively small, albeit affluent, group of people. The main indicator for them remains Total.
The show "Children of Heaven" (Gökyüzü Çocukları) lost 0.42% in Total and 0.62% in AB. This is not very good news for the creators of the show. However, fans have nothing to worry about — the state channel allows its projects to complete their stories despite declining ratings.
Total:
1. Distant City (Uzak Şehir) - 15.46%⬆
3. Children of Heaven (Gökyüzü Çocukları) - 3.99%⬇
AB:
1. Distant City (Uzak Şehir) - 11.06%⬇
3. Children of Heaven (Gökyüzü Çocukları) - 3.12%⬇

The show "Intelligence" (Teşkilat) lost 0.01% in Total but rose by 0.72% in AB. The state channel’s project continues to successfully maintain its audience and, it seems, will once again be among the most popular series in Turkey this season — an achievement in itself.
The show "Heartbeat" (Çarpıntı) dropped by 0.17% in Total and 0.22% in AB. The decline may seem small, especially since the project still enjoys a solid Total rating, but a negative trend at the start of the season is not the best indicator. The writers urgently need to “strengthen their positions” to avoid disappointing viewers.
Total:
1. Intelligence (Teşkilat) - 6.56%⬇
2. Heartbeat (Çarpıntı) - 5.18%⬇
AB:
1. Intelligence (Teşkilat) - 5.71%⬆
2. Heartbeat (Çarpıntı) - 3.70%⬇

The show "Mountain of Hearts" (Gönül Dağı) rose by 0.95% in Total and by 0.61% in AB. The TRT1 production continues to deliver excellent results even in its sixth season, remaining one of the most beloved series among Turkish viewers.
The show "Stranger in the Mirror" (Ayna’daki Yabancı) debuted with decent figures in both categories, but the hardest part for the creators is only beginning: attracting an audience, keeping it, and ensuring steady growth — a very challenging task.
The show "I Am Leman" (Ben Leman) received a weak result in Total but started better in AB. However, a low start does not always mean failure, as many successful Turkish projects have proven — some of them began with even lower numbers. The subsequent trend will show everything.
Total:
1. Mountain of Hearts (Gönül Dağı) - 6.12%⬆️
2. Stranger in the Mirror (Ayna’daki Yabancı) - 3.12%🆕
7. I Am Leman (Ben Leman) - 2.77%🆕
AB:
1. Mountain of Hearts (Gönül Dağı) - 4.10%⬆️
2. Stranger in the Mirror (Ayna’daki Yabancı) - 3.67%🆕
4. I Am Leman (Ben Leman) - 3.23%🆕

The show "Cranberry Sherbet" (Kızılcık Şerbeti) rose by 0.39% in Total and by 0.27% in AB. Producer Faruk Turgut’s project continues to gather a stable audience in both categories. This means it will likely reach the end of the season without major issues. If the ratings remain high, a fifth season is quite possible.
The show "Love and Tears" (Aşk ve Gözyaşı) increased by 0.22% in Total and by 1.50% in AB. The modest growth in Total was offset by a strong increase in the AB audience, which is important for advertisers. The main task for the writers is to maintain the show’s steady upward trend, as it still has not completely left the danger zone.
Total:
1. Backstreets (Arka Sokaklar) - 7.82%⬆️
2. Cranberry Sherbet (Kızılcık Şerbeti) - 6.67%⬆️
11. Love and Tears (Aşk ve Gözyaşı) - 2.85%⬆️
AB:
1. Cranberry Sherbet (Kızılcık Şerbeti) - 7.28%⬆️
3. Love and Tears (Aşk ve Gözyaşı) - 3.91%⬆️
4. Backstreets (Arka Sokaklar) - 3.19%⬆️

The show "The Successor" (Halef) rose by 2.03% in Total but lost 0.55% in AB. Overall, the situation looks familiar — what appeals to the general audience often does not satisfy the educated and affluent viewers. Still, fans can be congratulated on the success of their favorite show and advised not to pay attention to AB figures, which matter only to advertisers, not to us.
The show "The Heir" (Veliaht) dropped by 0.95% in Total but rose by 0.05% in AB. Here too, the educated and affluent audience shows a divergence in taste from the general public, although the difference in numbers is not that large. The writers will need to work very hard to maintain the interest of the Total audience in their project.
Total:
1. The Successor (Halef) - 8.02%⬆
3. The Heir (Veliaht) - 4.24%⬇
AB:
2. The Heir (Veliaht) - 5.03%⬆
4. The Successor (Halef) - 3.96%⬇

The show "Eşref’s Dream" (Eşref Rüya) rose by 1.16% in Total but lost 0.97% in AB. As is well known, the AB audience is quite volatile and easily shifts its attention, so the creators made the right choice by focusing on Total — and they did not go wrong. With each episode, the general audience is enjoying Timur Savcı’s project more and more, so there is cautious hope that the ratings growth will continue.
The show "Orphans" (Sahipsizler) increased by 0.19% in Total but lost 0.19% in AB. For now, producer Onur Güvenatam’s project remains on air thanks to good Total numbers, but the situation in AB is becoming increasingly threatening. Cancellation before the New Year is quite possible.
Total:
1. Eşref’s Dream (Eşref Rüya) - 8.94%⬆
3. Orphans (Sahipsizler) - 5.41%⬆
AB:
1. Eşref’s Dream (Eşref Rüya) - 6.41%⬇
8. Orphans (Sahipsizler) - 1.52%⬇
