Kızılcık Şerbeti: 5.93 After Seven Episodes

Show TV's Kızılcık Şerbeti opened its fifth season on 18 September with episode 139, scoring 6.31 in ABC1. In the following weeks it slipped as low as 4.63.

The picture changed with a change of screenwriter and the return of Ceren Karakoç as Nursema. Episode 145, aired on 6 November, drew 6.80 in Total, 6.88 in AB and 7.25 in ABC1, the best figure of the season.

Even so, the series' ABC1 average since the start of the season is 5.93, which puts it eighth among the 21 series currently on air.

Teşkilat: 7.92 Across 37 Episodes

TRT 1's Teşkilat aired 37 episodes in the 2024-2025 season and finished third for the season with a 7.92 average in ABC1.

Its start was modest: the season opener scored 5.37, while episode 138 peaked at 9.72. Having closed the previous season at 5.42, Teşkilat grew its average by more than 45 percent and became one of the rare series to gain viewers in its fifth year.

Gönül Dağı averaged 7.03 and Kuruluş Osman 6.89 in their fifth seasons.

Gönül Dağı averaged 7.03 and Kuruluş Osman 6.89 in their fifth seasons.

Gönül Dağı: 7.03 Across 40 Episodes

TRT 1's other long runner, Gönül Dağı, also spent its fifth season on air in 2024-2025. It opened at 6.45 and peaked at 9.07 with episode 157.

The series closed its 40-episode season with a 7.03 average in ABC1 and ranked as the fifth most-watched series of that season. Its average one season earlier was 8.34.

Kuruluş Osman: 6.89 Across 34 Episodes

ATV's historical drama Kuruluş Osman aired its fifth season in 2023-2024. Over 34 episodes it averaged 6.89 in ABC1, placing sixth among that season's most-watched series. In its sixth season the average fell to 5.94.

Can Kızılcık Şerbeti Close the Gap?

The comparison comes with a caveat: Kızılcık Şerbeti's figure is based on only seven episodes so far, while the averages of Teşkilat, Gönül Dağı and Kuruluş Osman cover full seasons.

The series' own path is also telling. It closed season two with a 10.20 average and season three with 10.60. In season four the average dropped to 7.09, and in season five it is below 6 for now.

Still, its season opener was higher than Teşkilat's, and the 7.25 of the latest episode is above last season's average. If the rise continues, Kızılcık Şerbeti could catch up with Gönül Dağı and Kuruluş Osman in the fifth-season race.
