Moreover, these series present a very significant period in Turkey, and the series portrays the conflict between the Society layers and the discrepancy existing in the Turkish environment. Also, it performs the educational renaissance that has been in Turkey and impact especially in the women role in the community.
     The series showed the impoverished class who have nothing and are trying to access their rights, the poor class, which are working to teach their children to get education thus a better future. The middle class and the wealthy class that are trying to control everything, even at the expense of the interests of the state.
     The tv series sought to show a good image of the Turkish society; they show the Turkish men as stalwarts, whether for good or evil. Also, they women in Turkey have all their rights. They demonstrate the woman in the Turkish community as a teacher, lawyer, judge, and as a housewife. However, they also show some characters of oppressed women.
     Moreover, the tv series show a lot of positive stereotypes about the Turkish society. It revealed that the community members are helping and respect each other, also showed that even the poor people are cultured and followed the newspapers, radio. However, it only demonstrates the rich people as a selfish people and focused on the downside of the wealthy layer. 
     Furthermore, the tv series challenge some of the stereotypes. It is known for the Turkish people as a secular. Moreover, many believe that the secularists do not care about matters of religion. However, the series explained that the Turks keep their prayers and give in charity and respect for the Islamic faith.
      Finally, the tv series production company is famous in Turkey and the produce a lot of successful either films or tv series. Also, the owner if this endeavour support the government. On the other hand, the quality of the series was very high, and the director was interested in the smallest details which made the series fabulous & interesting.

I think the quality of the series assists the expand of it, especially when it talk about the past.

He is growing up in KSA; he lived there for a long time. 
Taha accounts very popularly in social media; because he is talk both in Arabic and Turkish. He said that his accounts are personal. However, I think the accounts are semi-governmental because he is displaying government ideas and thought in an indirect way.
