Doctors (Doktorlar) (translated)

TV Series · 2006–2011 · 46 people

Medyapım produced the medical drama Doktorlar, which premiered on Show TV on December 28, 2006. Adapted from the American series Grey's Anatomy, it follows young surgeons starting their training at one of the country's best-known hospitals. Spanning four seasons between 2006 and 2011, it became one of Turkey's best-known medical dramas.

The story centers on Ela, daughter of a world-famous surgeon who never believed in her, who must hide his Alzheimer's disease. Her great love is the gifted neurosurgeon Levent, played by Kutsi. The team includes Zenan, the only daughter of a wealthy eastern family, shy Hasan, flashy Burak, orphanage-raised Kader and Suat, an arrogant but excellent teacher. Fikret, nicknamed "Gestapo" for her strictness, supervises them, and the fatherly Haldun heads surgery.

Its broadcast history was uneven. It ended for the first time with its 87th episode on March 30, 2009, returned on December 3, 2010 after viewers kept watching the reruns, with Leyla Göksun taking over the lead from Yasemin Ergene, and said goodbye a second time with its 97th episode on February 14, 2011, citing low ratings.

Through different eyes

AI-assisted editorial takes written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader reviews; those are below.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

The hospital setting brings some speed: young surgeons, cases, tests. But this is not an action show; it is a talky, emotion-heavy medical drama. Ela hiding her father's illness and her love with Levent are at the center, and for viewers who want tempo, some episodes may feel slow. The surgery scenes raise the tension, but drama takes the bigger share. For fans of the genre, but do not expect chases or fights.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Doktorlar is an adaptation of Grey's Anatomy; the team of Ela, Zenan, Hasan, Burak, Kader and Suat, with the stern Fikret and the fatherly Haldun, strikes a good balance of characters. Its broadcast history was uneven: it ended once at episode 87, came back after viewers kept watching the reruns, and Leyla Göksun took over the lead from Yasemin Ergene. After the return the show may not have fully recaptured the flavor of the first run. At 97 episodes, it makes a good marathon for medical drama fans.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Following young surgeons in training at one of Turkey's best-known hospitals, the series also shows class and origin: Zenan, the only daughter of a wealthy eastern family, and Kader, raised in an orphanage. The hospital is a micro-society where different backgrounds meet at one table. Ela's father's Alzheimer's brings up aging and health. As an adaptation of an American series, it seems to concentrate on individual dramas rather than questioning the health system, so a viewer after a social reading should set expectations accordingly.
