We continue to take a look at the weekly ratings performance of Turkish TV series.
New Season Competition Begins
As new series began airing in the second week of September, competition in the ratings table intensified. Torn Apart and Different Lives, which continued from the summer season, maintained their strong performances, while Salted Love showed an increase in its second episode and stood out among the new-season productions. A.B.İ., returning for its second season, and Dignity, which premiered this week, achieved similar results, while Sevdan Bir Ateş ranked ahead of Love and Throne.
The One I Love attracted particular attention in Total with the premiere of its second season, while Marriage Is Beautiful had a more modest start. Overall, in the first week of the new season, both new and returning series remained below the general ratings levels they achieved last season.
