About us
Turkish drama reaches one billion viewers across 170 countries. It's Türkiye's third-largest scripted export. But for international audiences — Spanish-speaking, Arabic-speaking, English-speaking — there's almost no serious written coverage.
We started The Dizi Insider to fix that. Every Thursday, we write the newsletter we wanted to read. Independent. Honest. Obsessive.
