Međutim, privlačnost turske televizije, koja miješa emocionalno bogate slike s osjećajem dobro održavane tradicije, također je dobila i kritike od strane nekih konzervativaca u Turskoj, koji smatraju da su slike vatrenih poljubaca, priče o preljubama, ubistvima i kriminalu prijetnja po osnovu porodice.
