“Ethos” Is The Best Turkish Series Netflix Has Ever Commissioned
When I do have a ton of deadlines, I have a tendency to escape from all of this heavy burden of work. I need to grade a hundred projects, prepare a couple of brand new teaching sessions, respond to tens of emails, meet a couple of my students, shoot videos for my YouTube channels, and feed my Medium profile with fresh articles. There is always this feeling that I cannot quite keep up with all the things that come up. I have a ton of deadlines, responsibilities, tasks, and never-ending to-do lists. I feel exhausted even though I have not yet even started my workday. It is a constant sense of anxiety and overload. So, what do I do?
Well, I do have a personal history of procrastination. Of course, I did what is most sensible to do: Escape all my work and indulge myself in the world of binge-watching! When I heard all my friends and my wife Sertac raving about “Ethos” (Bir Başkadır), I found myself binge-watching this series last night. It is a very different beast indeed — radically different from all the other Turkish dramas I have watched until now. And I am an avid watcher of Turkish dramas, and I have never come across anything quite like this one. You can see the trailer here. It does not give much away.
