Narrative fatigue in recent Turkish television series

While the recent domestic television series are analyzed from many perspectives, we see that one of the relatively lagging areas of analysis is in the field of narrative. When we look at the serials from this point of view, we see that the same narrative elements are frequently used and there are plenty of repetitive elements. We can claim that this situation causes the concept of narrative fatigue, which we will explain in this study. In this study, it is aimed to determine the narrative elements that are used abundantly in recent domestic television series by using the structuralist analysis method and to show that these narrative elements that cause narrative fatigue are frequently repeated through the TV series selected as samples. The importance of this study is to raise awareness about this issue and to bring this subject to the literature by showing that the same narrative elements are frequently used in our domestic TV series in the last seven years, through the TV series that received the highest ratings in the last seven years.
