Best Turkish Series to Start With (For Beginners)
If You Like Romance
Start with Kara Sevda (Endless Love). It’s the most successful Turkish series internationally and captures everything that makes Turkish romance special: gorgeous Istanbul setting, intense slow-burn love story, family drama, and beautiful cinematography. Available with full Arabic dubbing.
If You Like History
Start with Dirilis: Ertugrul. The epic about the father of the Ottoman Empire’s founder is a cultural phenomenon across the Islamic world. Five seasons, Arabic dubbing available, and it inspired an entire genre of Turkish historical dramas including Alparslan and Kurulus Osman.
If You Like Thrillers
Start with Fatma (Netflix original). A cleaning woman becomes an accidental killer in this dark, gripping crime thriller. Only 2 seasons (12 episodes total), so it’s easy to binge. Arabic subtitles available. For a longer commitment, try Esaret.
If You Like Netflix Originals
Start with Midnight at the Pera Palace. A time-travel mystery set in the iconic Istanbul hotel, mixing 2020s and 1919 Istanbul. Turkish Netflix originals tend to be higher quality and shorter than broadcast series, making them more accessible for Netflix-conditioned viewers.
Upcoming Turkish Titles on Netflix (2026-2027)
- New Suleiman the Magnificent epic (TRT + Netflix co-production)
- Netflix Turkey’s biggest original production yet (title TBA)
- Continuation of existing Netflix Turkish originals
- Several new romance/thriller series from top Turkish producers
