“Sen Ağlama İstanbul” Struggles in Ratings with a Disappointing Start

Premiering on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, the new Turkish drama “Sen Ağlama İstanbul” failed to impress in its first episode, struggling to compete with its rivals and missing the top 10 in ratings.

Starring İsmail Hacıoğlu, Simay Barlas, and Aytaç Şaşmaz, Sen Ağlama İstanbul achieved ratings of Total (15), AB (13), and ABC1 (13), reflecting a lackluster debut.

Tough Competition on Tuesday Nights

Tuesday nights are dominated by established hits like Bahar and Bir Gece Masalı, which consistently rank at the top of the ratings charts. Even with potential improvements in the storyline or execution, it seems unlikely that Sen Ağlama İstanbul can surpass these highly popular dramas.

The Plot of Sen Ağlama İstanbul

Set in Istanbul, the series tells the story of an impossible love. Şehrazat, a strong and hopeful young woman studying medicine, dreams of a bright future with her boyfriend Ferhat. However, their lives are shattered when Ferhat is wrongfully sentenced to death.

Desperate to save him, Şehrazat turns to Büyükbey, a powerful man with a reputation for his dark influence. But she is unaware of one crucial truth: nothing Büyükbey does comes without a price. Meanwhile, Büyükbey’s daughter Şirin and nephew Kubat’s unhappy marriage intertwines with his schemes to maintain his empire, setting off a chain of events that will change everyone’s lives forever.

Will Sen Ağlama İstanbul Be Canceled?

If Sen Ağlama İstanbul fails to break into the top seven in the next few episodes, it is likely to be pulled from the air. Over the past few months, nearly ten Turkish dramas have been canceled after failing to rank in the top five. Unfortunately, Sen Ağlama İstanbul seems to be on a similar path unless a significant turnaround occurs.

Audience Reactions to Sen Ağlama İstanbul

The series has sparked significant discussion on social media, with most feedback leaning negative. Here are some unfiltered comments from Turkish viewers:

  • “I could only tolerate half an hour; it’s unbelievably gloomy.”
  • “For a first episode, the ratings are okay. Let’s see if they improve by episodes 2 and 3. We’ll know its fate by episode 5.”
  • “Two reasons for its failure: Aytaç is the wrong casting choice—he lacks audience appeal. Second, the name change. If it had stayed as Şehrazat, it would’ve drawn more viewers.”
  • “The title change was a mistake. When the first trailer came out, I was excited, but the name change put me off.”
  • “Tuesday is a tough day with too many popular shows. Starting a new series now doesn’t make sense. The leads lack chemistry and fail to grab attention.”
  • “No matter how hard you try, it’s not working. It was doomed to fail.”
  • “People have figured out OGM projects. They start promising but end up with unrealistic, convoluted plots. Every story becomes about trauma, with negativity justified.”
  • “So boring; I won’t watch it again.”
  • “I was excited for this series, but then I read Gülseren’s name as the story consultant. Another tale of a suffering woman being forced into marriage. How original. 🙄”

Approximately 85% of comments about the first episode were negative, making it clear that the series has not resonated with viewers.

Conclusion

The future looks grim for Sen Ağlama İstanbul, with cancellation seeming imminent unless it can deliver a dramatic improvement in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to see whether this ill-fated love story can turn its ratings around or if it will join the growing list of short-lived Turkish dramas.
