Final book in The Hundred Years of Miracle series faces bleak prospects and heightened anticipation.
The Turkish television series, The Hundred Years of Miracle, is facing troubles despite the excitement that came with the union of Ebru Şahin and Birkan Sokullu in the story. The series has failed to make a significant difference in the ratings, despite having a different set-up from other shows.
While Ebru Şahin gained popularity last season with the Destan series, The Hundred Years of Miracle series does not seem to be a decisive project for the actor’s career. Although her performance is appreciated, the ratings suggest that the future of the project is not looking very good.
Birkan Sokullu, who played the character of Han in the series of Innocent Apartments, took on the bigger responsibility of being the male lead in The Hundred Years of Miracle. Fans were excited about the on-screen chemistry between him and Ebru Şahin, but viewers have criticized the illogicalities in the script.
Despite airing seven episodes, the ratings do not paint a good picture for the series. The show was only able to achieve 13th place in the ABC1 group, but was 6th in the EU group. However, the series does not seem to be holding onto its current viewers, let alone the hope of a big breakout.
Criticism mostly centers around the character of Kemal, who is shown as 130 years old but is described as having a shallow personality, turning the subject into a love triangle instead of exploring the many stories that could be told over a century. The script has been called out as not being good enough on social media.
The Hundred Years of Miracle has a fantastic story, but it seems that the series needs to make some changes to keep the audience engaged.
