TV Series and People in the Swamp of Organised Evil
Why is so much evil pumped into TV series scripts? Are the scriptwriters inspired by the realities of life? Or do they show so much evil just for the sake of the script, just to make the script interesting?
Is there really such a thing as organised evil?
Of course there is! It's human beings, it's to be expected! Human beings have a nature inclined to do evil.
Or maybe there is no such thing!
There are evil ones among us, but I guess we cannot accept evil as something that is the nature of all human beings.

So why is so much evil pumped into the public in films and series scripts?
Are screenwriters inspired by the realities of life?
Or do they show so much evil just for the sake of the scenario, just to make the scenario interesting?
Maybe such evil is pumped into the society because only such scenarios attract people's attention? Even if the purpose is to make money from the films and series, the result is organised evil being pumped into society.
Couldn't this be the reason for all this evil?
Moreover, the scripts are really terrible, not only because only evil is dealt with in the senates, but also because the scripts have ridiculous subjects in general.
***
But are the scripts so bad?
Or is there really evil in society? And are these scenarios a reflection of society?
I don't think the scripts can be intentionally evil.
After all, these scripts also contain a lot of social messages.
After all, these scripts are important opportunities to bring some of the hidden problems in society to light.
I guess these concerns also make the scripts a bit ridiculous.
I still think that with a little better work, no matter how absurd the subject matter, no matter how many episodes are specifically placed in the scripts for social problems, the scripts of films and series could be a little better. At least, it can be foreseen that the transitions between events will be more logical. Sometimes it is hard to understand why the hero of the series does what he does and why he does it that way.
***
Also, in their current form, films are about nonsense for the sake of meaningless comedy, and in the series, I think there are deviations to unnecessary topics in order to prolong the series, or there are glances, words, scenes that are deliberately prolonged.
I think all these are chronic problems of the film industry.
I think if we want to have a better place in the world in the film industry, these problems should be solved urgently.
I think it would be much better if more naturalistic film scripts and shorter series scripts were written. Don't you think so?
In European TV series, either the duration of the series is much shorter, or there are series of a few episodes without going beyond a certain scenario, that is, without extinguishing the plot too much.
For example, one of my favourite series was only four episodes.
***
By the way, there are also series in Europe where the scripts are extended and extended. Let alone long episodes, there are also series that are filmed for many seasons.
But in general, they are series with logical durations that do not deviate around a certain subject.
Don't be misunderstood when I say this, I'm not someone who watches too many series.
I enjoy watching more films.
I just wanted to take a look at the current TV series, of course, the YouTube algorithm immediately brought up the previous TV series in which the lead actors of the popular TV series of the day played.
The YouTube algorithm couldn't recognise me, it didn't know what to prioritise for a long time because I watched a thousand different things.
When I looked at a few series like this, its eyes immediately exploded, as if it found a gem, and it started to bring whatever series there was in front of me.
So I took the opportunity to take a look at the series and their scripts.
But as I wrote at the beginning, the scripts of most of the series seemed ridiculous and extremely evil to me.
Moreover, in most of the series, evil is treated as an organised evil.
***
Is our society really prone to such organised evil?
I don't think so.
I think we are more of a mild society, first of all we are well-intentioned, hospitable.
Then we are an intelligent and hardworking society.
There is no evil in us!
There is no organised evil!
We have a little bit of cunning, let's call it oriental cunning if you want, but I guess we are not as bad as it is shown in the TV series!
***
By the way, the TV series I looked at are not the ones where it is not clear whose hands are in whose pockets, who is doing what with whom, who is doing what with whom, who is in whose bosom, and who has come to the agenda only with the twisted love stories in it.
In other words, I never looked at the kind of series that dear Cem Yılmaz once said we were marginalised.
As I said, I took a look at the series with high ratings of the day, and I also examined the series of some of the leading actors who played in these series, which are a little bit in the past.
***
One last word about the acting.
There used to be a lot of bad acting in films in the past, and I sometimes come across bad actors in current films.
However, in the TV series I looked at, the acting was really good, so we can say that at least in the film world we have managed to overcome this issue.
I think we are not bad at all in terms of shooting techniques.
Maybe some of the series may be a little low budget, but that's okay too, after all, when it's a scenario from life, most of us already live in poor environments.
***
Our TV series are very popular in the world, do I have any objection to this?
No, of course not, this is something I am proud of.
This series sector makes a great contribution to the country's economy and the advertisement of the country.
I think it is especially good that there are always scenes from Istanbul.
TV channels offer a marvellous financial source for TV series in Turkey. Well, when there are so many series sold abroad, we can say that the series sector is really our face.
I congratulate those who have contributed.
My objection or criticism is only to the absurdity of the scripts and the organised evil that I think is deliberately pumped into this society.
***
In some series, Turkish and Turkish adaptations of foreign series I have watched before were made.
In such series, even though the script was translated into Turkish with a good adaptation, I was really disappointed that the nonsense in the original script was continued.
As if that wasn't enough, most of them also have religious scenes that have been forcibly inserted. Constant Qur'an readings, prayer teachings.
Of course, these should be done, but they should be placed in the script in such a way that they do not look like they are pouring into the viewer's eyes.
Because of this, the already bad scripts are spoilt even more, and the ties between the subjects are broken.
On the other hand, this situation really amuses me.
***
Also, there are some things that do not suit us very well in such series with imported scripts.
For example, in a series about prison life, I saw that they set up a prison system that we don't have at all. I don't know if the same thing would not be adapted to our prisons.
As if that wasn't enough, the integrity of the script was also disrupted due to the compulsory deviations they made from the original script. (As far as I remember, there were lesbian relationships in the original script, they had to remove these issues from the Turkish script!) In other words, the script's absurdities have increased. You can't follow the plot, you miss the integrity of the fiction of who is behaving like that and why.
But I must say that the reference to this series in the current popular series of the same lead actor is interesting for those who know. The new series on the agenda is also a series with an imported script, but this time the incompatibilities of the series are less. Nevertheless, even though the new series, which deals with complex love relationships such as one man and two women, one woman and two lovers, breaks ratings records, it still gives secret messages to the society from a different direction.
***
Let my comments and criticisms remain at this level for now.
It's still great to have a worldwide reputation for TV series! I wish they would make series that are more suitable for our daily lives and have less contextual confusion in their subjects.
Maybe I will take a look at the series again in the future, I just want to take a glance while they are on the screen in front of me.
Love and respect to everyone from Moscow.
