Comedy and family come together in Kardeş Payı, a Turkish sitcom that aired on Star TV. It was produced for NTC Medya by Mehmet Yiğit Alp and directed by Selçuk Aydemir. The first episode aired on February 13, 2014; the show ran for two seasons and ended with its 35th episode on April 30, 2015, because of low ratings.

The story follows two plumber brothers and their sister through the comic and dramatic events of their pursuit of an invention that would make the world a better place, an engine that runs on boron or water. The family is shaped by their father's devotion to Beşiktaş: he named his children after three legendary club footballers, Metin, Ali and Feyyaz, and when the third child turned out to be a girl he changed the last name to Feyyza. The invention quest gets tangled up with family squabbles and love stories.

Ahmet Kural, Murat Cemcir and Seda Bakan share the lead roles, and the cast also includes Oktay Kaynarca, Devrim Yakut, Berna Üçkaleler, Korhan Herduran, İpek Yaylacıoğlu, Özlem Çakar Yalçınkaya, Rıza Akın and Nazlı Tosunoğlu. The first season ran for 22 episodes and the second began on January 29, 2015.

Through different eyes

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

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

The kind of comedy you put on as a family after dinner. The adventures of plumber siblings chasing an engine that runs on boron or water will make the kids laugh too. The names Metin, Ali and Feyyza, born of the father's love for Beşiktaş, are a joke in themselves. The subject is light; the troubles stay within family squabbles and love stories. An easygoing series that suits viewers of every age.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

The worries that keep a family under one roof, squabbling siblings, a father's passion — these were familiar ingredients of Yeşilçam's family comedies too. Kardeş Payı captures that warm core; the father who turns the name Feyyaz into Feyyza when a daughter arrives is a genuinely sweet idea. But the humor is often loud and hurried, and I kept missing the bittersweet smile of the old comedies, those quiet moments that touch a character's heart. It is a little sad that the show ended after two seasons because of low ratings; the warmth at its center deserved a better balance.

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

The trio of Ahmet Kural, Murat Cemcir and Seda Bakan builds the sibling dynamic very naturally; their banter is the best part of the show. Names like Oktay Kaynarca and Devrim Yakut add weight to the cast as well. The idea of siblings chasing an invention feels fresh at first, but over the first season's 22 episodes that main thread starts to repeat itself, and some episodes never get beyond a string of gags. The short second season didn't leave the story time to pull itself together. The banter between the siblings is reason enough to watch a few episodes back to back; there is no need to binge the whole run.
