Haysiyet is a drama series that premiered on Kanal D on September 8, 2026. It is produced by Süreç Film, with Ali Gündoğdu and İnci Gündoğdu as producers, and was created and directed by Eda Teksöz. The ninth episode of the first season aired in early November 2026.

The cast includes Kerem Alışık (Sadık Karlıova), Doğukan Güngör (Mehmet Karlıova), Merih Öztürk (Simay Tarman), Reha Özcan (Haluk Tarman), Burak Çelik (Tarık Tarman) and Ayça Varlıer (Şehnaz Tarman). Gökberk Yıldırım (Tufan), Aybüke Yılmaz (Yıldız), Orkuncan İzan (Ahmet), Asır Gündoğdu (Aziz), Elifcan Ongurlar (Suzan) and Nergis Öztürk (Nimet) play other members of the Karlıova family.

The Karlıovas are a modest family who make their living in moving and transport in Istanbul; the Tarmans are wealthy. Their paths cross unexpectedly. Mehmet, the youngest Karlıova son, and Simay, the Tarmans' only daughter, fall into a passionate romance without knowing who the other is. The love pulls both families into a bitter conflict over pride, class difference and honor. Mehmet, a young man from the neighborhood, has goals but will not give up his principles. Filming took place mainly in Balat: the Karlıova scenes in its stone streets, the Tarman scenes in mansions and coastal districts along the Bosphorus.

Through different eyes

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

A moving-and-transport family living in Balat's stone streets against a wealthy family in mansions and coastal districts along the Bosphorus is an idea that builds class difference visually as well. Notions such as pride, honor and neighborhood values show how an income gap is translated into a moral language. That Mehmet has goals but will not give up his principles also recalls how settled the image of the neighborhood boy is. The frame is familiar, but it is productive for thinking about social divides, provided neither side turns into a caricature.

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

The setup is clear: a love that ignites between two young people who do not know who the other is turns into a clash of honor between two families. The large Karlıova and Tarman casts provide material for a long-running family series. With the first season at its ninth episode, the real question is how the conflict stays fresh: a war of pride between two families can slide into repeating the same quarrel with new pretexts. If the relationship between Mehmet and Simay gains enough character depth, the central pair could be strong enough to carry the show.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

A rich family's daughter and a modest family's son, two feuding families: one of drama's best-known patterns. What matters is whether the pattern is handled in a fresh language. The visual contrast between the Karlıova scenes shot in Balat and the Tarman scenes on the Bosphorus is the director's clearest tool; it needs to spread into the storytelling rather than stay a matter of location. The story rests on class difference, pride and honor, which can easily be poured into cliché dialogue. With only nine episodes aired a verdict is early, but the set-up shows no sign of stepping outside the formula.
