Through different eyes

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

En Son Babalar Duyar is a true family show. It follows the cheerful, hectic daily life of a mother, a father, three daughters and a son, with neighbors and relatives in the mix. It is mostly comedy, with a little drama along the way. The kind of show everyone from grandma to the kids can sit down and watch together. At 200 episodes, it can become part of the household for a long time.

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

En Son Babalar Duyar is one of those series you watch as if dropping in on a large family. The daily bustle among a mother, a father, four children, neighbors and relatives recalls the homely warmth of our old family films. Zerrin Epikmen and Selahattin Taşdöğen, who play Kadir's parents, suit that warmth well. A pleasant memory for anyone who misses the modest, good-natured world of family comedy. Still, one has to admit that over more than four years on air, as the cast and premise changed, some of the early charm was lost.

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

With more than four years on air and 200 episodes, En Son Babalar Duyar makes for an unusual series journey. It started on TRT 1 and moved to Star TV, where even the episode numbering restarted at 1. Over time the focus shifts to a character named Kadir, his jobs, his schemes and his relationship with his father. The real turning point comes in 2004: when Ayşegül Atik, Ali Erkazan and Ali Sunal leave, the premise changes and Levent Ülgen becomes the main character. Fans of the early family balance may find that shift tough; the two eras feel almost like separate shows.
