While the violent images on television screens continue to be a topic of discussion, a scandalous scene was presented to viewers in the series Eşref, which airs at a time when children are also in front of the screen. In the series, the character Dinçer strangles and kills his biological mother, while the production company shared the footage on their YouTube channel with the title "He killed his biological mother with his own hands." The audience's reaction to this scene was quite harsh.
While the increase of violent scenes on television screens continues to be debated, a scene aired in the Eşref series caused an uproar in the public. The moments when the character Dinçer strangles and kills his biological mother were broadcast during a time slot when children could also watch.
SHARED ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL
The main factor that increased the reactions was the production company's sharing of this scene on its official YouTube channel with the title "He killed his biological mother with his own hands." The rapidly spreading footage became the focus of criticism that the series normalizes violence and crosses boundaries.
Viewers emphasized that especially children and young people could be negatively affected by such scenes, expressing the opinion that airing such a heavy scene on a national channel is irresponsible.
REACTIONS ARE GROWING LIKE AN AVALANCHE
In comments made on social media, the series' script and broadcasting policy were criticized with harsh expressions. Here are some of those comments;
- The screenwriter is always being ridiculous. There are people who admire this series; then children end up dying.
- I turned off the series during this scene. It was a disgusting scene; these images should not be broadcast.
- How correct is it to have such a horrifying scene on a national channel?
- Okay, series don't have to be exemplary, but a child under 15 admires the role of Eşref.
- Should such a scene really have been filmed? With constant news of brutality all around us, did you have to film such a scene? Besides, you are supposed to be great screenwriters.
