Crime Against Humanity (İnsanlık Suçu) (translated)

Crime Against Humanity (original title İnsanlık Suçu) is a Turkish drama with thriller and crime elements, shown on Kanal D in the spring of 2018 and made by Pastel Film. It transplants Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy into a Turkish setting: the classic tale of where self-interest and passion can lead a person, retold around a local family.

The action moves between Adana and Istanbul and centers on the Gökdemir family, with Deniz Uğur playing Emel Gökdemir. Kaan Yıldırım and Gizem Karaca head the cast, joined by Melike İpek Yalova, Laçin Ceylan, Serkay Tütüncü and Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan. Clashing interests and passion are the main threads pulling the story toward tragedy.

The broadcast run was brief. The first episode aired on March 31, 2018, but the show failed to draw the audience it needed and stayed at a single season. The eight-episode series ended on May 19, 2018.
