The Prince (2023– )
8/10
Turkish Black Adder
20 March 2024
I don't know if it was ever an inspiration, but this series reminds me the first season of Black Adder by Sir Rowan Atkinson.

Main character is a non-binary quirky Prince, with a touch of stereotypical Turkish gay man attitude, sometimes to the point of exaggeration. Prince is not the typical "good" person, but a very self-centered and ignorant just like S1 Black Adder.

Plot is not very original or unexpected, yet focusing on character development and fun aspect shines the series to magnificent success.

Originality comes from that attitude of Prince and story is just a background around him.

There are times that scenes getting a bit boring and stretching the gimmick way too much, but it still can be considered a fast-paced series comparing to overall Turkish series we have.

Definitely a fresh breath of air, not focusing on vulgar language to make it seem fun like many others and thankfully something that is not focusing on Turkey or Turkish people related theme, but definitely made for Turkish-speaking people to enjoy with relative material.

Absolutely recommend and hoping to see more of it.
