- jballanc 10y agoProbably the most popular of the historical-fiction variety are "Muhteşem Yüzyıl" and its spin-off "Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem". "Behzat Ç." is a pretty good police drama. The one that really sort of kicked off the modern renaissance of Turkish dramas, though, is "Aşk-ı Memnu", which is a modernized take on a famous 19th century Turkish novel. Many of the actors from that series went on to star in later Turkish dramas. (Note: Just so you know what to expect, Turkish dramas are sort of a cross between their US counterparts and Spanish Telenovelas. There is some action, but much more emphasis on interpersonal conflicts...and more than a few very long, overly dramatic shots backed with suspenseful music.)
