Veliaht
2025as Yahya Kaptan
Zulfukar Karsli, a fading power at the bus station, needs an heir and finds an unlikely candidate in Timur, a traveling repairman buried under his father’s debts. When Timur steps into the Karsli world as Zafer, he must also pretend to be the husband of Zafer’s wife Reyhan. What begins as a dangerous lie turns into real emotion, trapping Timur and Reyhan inside a mansion built on deception, power, and forbidden love.

Ne Gemiler Yaktim
2023as Toprak
Ne Gemiler Yaktim is a tense Turkish drama about motherhood, survival, and the unexpected bond between two women whose lives collide at a breaking point. Yasemin and Fidan come from different worlds, but both are fighting to protect their children and escape circumstances that threaten to destroy them. Their connection begins through desperation and grows into a fragile alliance shaped by fear, loyalty, and the need to survive. Fidan’s dangerous past, especially her connection to the dark and unpredictable Rutkay, pulls both women into a world of violence and secrets. As Chief Inspector Toprak follows the trail, their lives are reshaped by choices made in the name of love, protection, and freedom.

Cukur
2017as Vartolu Saadettin/Salih Koçovalı
In one of Istanbul’s most dangerous districts, a neighbourhood known simply as “The Pit,” the Koçovarlı family has ruled with iron discipline for generations. Their law is the only law, and their protection is the only reason the streets have not descended into total chaos. But when a powerful new player emerges — armed with foreign backing and a ruthless ambition — the family’s grip begins to slip. The patriarch knows there is only one person who can save them: his youngest son Yamaç, who fled years ago to escape the very life he was born into. Yamaç has built a new identity far from the blood and smoke of The Pit, but the call of family, honour, and the streets that raised him pulls him back with the force of a tidal wave. What follows is a brutal, Shakespearean saga of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of power. In The Pit, the only way out is down, and every victory tastes like ash. A landmark Turkish crime drama that redefined the genre.
