The first season of the much-loved Bahar series returned for its second season on September 24, 2024. However, the new season, which introduced two new actors, failed to capture the same level of interest as the first season.
The Turkish actress Büşra Pekin, who joined the cast to portray the character Süreyya, was not well-received by the Bahar audience. Nearly 90% of viewers expressed negative opinions about the new character, leading to a significant decline in the show’s popularity.
Viewers have criticized the character “Süreyya” for coming across as artificial and forced, with many demanding that the character be removed from the series.
The loss of excitement that the first season delivered has left Bahar‘s new cast struggling to maintain the same level of engagement. Fans are now eagerly wondering how the series will recover in the upcoming episodes. Long-time viewers are particularly dissatisfied with the fact that the storyline lacks the depth and excitement of the first season.
Many have taken to social media, calling for the writers to re-evaluate the script and the characters to restore the show’s former appeal.
The producers and writing team have responded to the criticism by promising some surprises in the upcoming episodes, with deeper character development and a more compelling storyline. However, fans are impatient to see if these promises will materialize.
The series’ future will likely depend on how the ratings shift in the episodes to come.
