Turkish TV Series Prevails During Greek Crisis

People spend their nights before the television screen even more during times of economic crisis in search of an escape. However, in Greece there is a huge decrease in advertisement revenues, and only a handful of new Greek series have been produced. Thus Greek stations are looking for cheaper solutions such as foreign movies, foreign television series, and live panel discussions.
Yasemin and War in “Love and Punishment” (Aşk ve Ceza) on Greek channel Mega and Bihter and Behlül in “Forbidden Love” (Aşk-ı Memnu) on Antena have been audiences’ favorites. The two series are racing head to head, according to national surveys.
When asked why the two big Greek TV channels compete with each other through Turkish series, the reason is the economic crisis. Each episode of a Greek series costs around 70,000 to 80,000 euros, whereas each episode of a Turkish series can be bought for about 7,000 to 8,000 euros.
Moreover, Greeks like Turkish TV series because they do not sound so foreign to their ears anymore. Another factor is that Greek society is familiar with the scenarios of Turkish series.Lastly, high-budget Turkish series are also of good quality.
