“Common Thread: Trust, Heartbreak, Miracles, and Farewell Letters”
A recent study conducted by DigiLup has revealed some interesting insights about Turkish TV series and their popularity on social media. The research shows that despite low ratings, some TV series remain highly popular on social media.
The series that tops the list for the most talked-about show on social media for the month of April is Cranberry Sherbet. It has been at the center of controversy since it was punished by the Radio and Television Supreme Council. The series generated over 2 million messages on social media.
The Trap, which has just ended, is in second place with 1.8 million messages, even though it had low ratings. It featured actors Akın Akınözü and Bensu Soral in the lead roles and lasted for 26 episodes.
The Stickman drama, which has average ratings, was in third place. Then comes the Emanet series, which was in fourth place with 1 million messages, despite tough competition from other productions.
Interestingly, some series like Heart Dead End, A Hundred Years Miracle, and Farewell Letter, which have low ratings, still have a high social media following and were in the top 10 most talked-about TV shows.
On the other hand, some TV series, such as Establishment Osman, which has a strong viewership, could not generate engagement on social media.
The research indicates that a show’s popularity on social media does not necessarily correspond to its ratings. It also shows that social media can heavily influence the success of TV series. Overall, being among the top 10 most talked-about TV series on social media is a significant accomplishment.
