Reviews
![]() | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (February 2021) |
Çukur has a story that reduces the neighborhood to a bad image (pit), unlike the Turkish TV series that deal with the neighborhood culture of the 2000s. Nurdan Gürbilek devoted a separate section to the line in his work named Second Life and commented on "family, masculinity and mafia series". In the series, the hero first leaves the house and then returns to the threatened neighborhood as a savior. Gürbilek interprets this as a classic return story and evaluates a popular version of the "man returning home" narrative. The soundtracks of the series that are integrated with the scenes of violence (predominantly Gazapizm and Eypio songs) are rap pieces that have been transformed into close combat music according to him. In the series, the name of the struggle between heirs (self and stepchildren) created by the image of the father and the weakening of the father is "the fight of the brothers". On the contrary, those under the command of Baba (İdris et al.) And the neighborhood leader (Yamaç et al.), Who stand out as the savior and protector of the Gariban (neighborhood), are "fatherless children". According to Gürbilek, the neighborhood is seen as a "liberated space" in the series, and the reality of despair connects people to the Fatherhood and masculinity order (neighborhood).[8]
Complaints
Since its publication, Çukur has been among the most complained works on TV. RTÜK imposed administrative fines on the channel where the series was broadcast due to scenes of armed conflict, fear, violence and torture.[9] Ercan Kesal, who took place in Çukur for two seasons, replied to the increasing complaints, "The issue of violence in Çukur is much more innocent when you compare it with the violence in daily life."[10]
