Celluloid Verdict

A slow-burning, richly humane mosaic of modern Turkey — critics hailed Berkun Oya's ensemble drama as a landmark of Turkish television, unflinching about class and faith yet tender with every character.

What is Ethos about?

In Istanbul, a headscarf-wearing cleaner's therapy sessions with a secular psychiatrist draw together a sprawling cross-section of Turkish society — clerics, actors, intellectuals and drifters whose lives quietly intertwine. A portrait of a divided nation told through intimate, overlapping encounters rather than polemic.

Critic Reviews

Ethos (2020) Review: Turkey on the Therapist's Couch

Ethos is Berkun Oya's eight-episode Turkish Netflix drama in which a cleaner's therapy sessions open onto a divided Istanbul, patient, humane and quietly radical.

Yes, for patient viewers. It is a humane, beautifully acted portrait of a divided society, best suited to lovers of slow character drama rather than anyone seeking plot.
