Good Night Boss

“Goodnight, Boss” is a crime drama and dark comedy series about a murder that occurred in an advertising agency. This show is planned as a mini-series with a closed-ended story, with each episode focusing on a different employee of the said agency and their role in the murder of their boss.

Good Night Boss intends to tell its story in such a way that each employee becomes a suspect, and the mystery of “Who’s the killer?” is enriched with questions such as “Why?” and “How?”.

THE STORY

Mürekkep is the most brilliant creative agency of recent times, which has managed to be nominated for the “Agency of the Year” and “Team of the Year” awards in its 10th year. The creative side of this agency, which is run by a mediatic boss named Giray Karahan, is a civil war. The creatives, consisting of two different teams, are divided between “problematic genius” Demre Gündüz and “artistic director” Berkin Dalaşan, and this rivalry has been going on for almost 10 years. This power struggle between Demre, a troubled but talented man, and Berkin, a fixer who has his own rules and who has reached his limit many times, is actually manipulated by his bosses for the benefit of the company. Because Mürekkep is an agency that runs from success to success with the effect of rivalries and planned conflicts.

Demre, who has spent ten years in this system, resigns in a dramatic way, unable to withstand the “mobbing” and pressures he was subjected to during the golden age of Mürekkep. The next day, our hero comes back to the agency to start the exit procedures and to say goodbye, and when he finds his boss Giray Karahan murdered in his room, he suddenly attracts all suspicions. Our hero, who becomes the prime suspect due to his past in the company, his psychological problems and the fact that he was the last person to see his boss alive, will have to use his intelligence, which he has used to sell detergent, cheese and loans until today, to prove his innocence and solve the murder.

The case, which the two detectives conducting the investigation consider a slam dunk because all the evidence points to our hero, is complicated by the discovery of a second body in the agency. Two murders in the same night at the country’s most popular agency suddenly turn all eyes on the victims’ colleagues, a team of 10 people, including our hero, who are nominated for the “Team of the Year” award, turn into the main suspects in the most media-oriented murder case of the year.

Viewer Discretion

ABOUT THE SHOW

In the near future, due to rising crime rates and overcrowded courts, the concept of justice has completely changed and a new system called the “Peoples’ Open Court” has been established. In this new legal system broadcasted on HAMTV, criminals are tried by a people’s court in live broadcasts, and all trials are seen live 24/7 in a highly media-oriented and sensationalized manner. This system, in which defendants are punished by popular vote and sentences are handed down in the same broadcast stream, has gradually created its own universe, products and even celebrities.

THE STORY

Mehmet Eken is a self-sufficient taxi driver in Istanbul, working two jobs to cover his brother’s wedding expenses. When a media mogul who rides in his taxi one night is found dead the next day, our hero suddenly finds himself at the center of this broadcasted justice system, becoming the prime suspect in the murder of this man he has never met.  Mehmet, who denies all the accusations against him, starts working to prove his innocence and to find the real killer(s) during the times when lynch culture is a part of everyday life. But it doesn’t take long for a tragedy in his past and some of his unpunished crimes to come to light, and our hero becomes the protagonist of a case that will divide the country and the audience.

Turking Back (English)

Barış Manço’s Mançoloji album. Sertab Erener’s Eurovision victory. The national team’s success in the World Cup. The new Turkish Lira!

Mire TÜRKMEN, a 35-year-old Grammy award-winning musician whose most recent memories of his home country are these, finds himself back in Turkey at the beginning of 2020 without a suitcase, a passport, and as a stranger to everything. It doesn’t take long for our hero, whose worldview is challenged during his stay here, to be pursued by his past. And a dramatic “plan” that will drastically alter his fate enters the picture.

Mire, a Turkish teenager who received a scholarship to study in the United Kingdom, never returned to his home country until he was 35 years old. When he returns 20 years later, he is forced to stay in Turkey for a while, first due to Covid-19 and then because his passport was mysteriously confiscated. Mire’s unexpected and lengthy visit will force him to confront his past, which is what drove him to flee the country in the first place.

Mire meets his old friend Arda in Moda and begins to stay with him until he obtains his passport. Mire joins a group of friends living in Kadköy thanks to Arda, and through them, he reacquaints himself with the country he left behind. During his stay in Turkey, he chooses to conceal some truths about himself in order to avoid reliving his past traumas. These truths, however, are revealed one by one throughout the season.

Mire makes a last-ditch effort to contact his family, whom he hasn’t seen in years, after failing to obtain his passport during the season. In the season finale, Mire attempts to reconcile with his family and his past, but finds it difficult due to his father’s harsh attitude as a retired police commissioner.

Kronolojiyi büyütmek için üzerine tıklayın.

Turking Back is a dramedy that aims to combine nostalgia with hope for the future through the story of a Turkish character with a universal perspective, who is unfamiliar with the radical changes our country has undergone in the last 20 years. The series delivers its social messages through individual characters and their stories. Because our story is not about the country itself, but about its people. “Turking Back” reminds us of the good old days that we all long for and conveys the message that it is possible to live those days again. In doing so, it does not open the wounds of society that have been bleeding for a long time, but rather aims to bring us together again by healing those wounds.

PERSPECTIVE
PERSPECTIVE

The story's perspective shares the same values as the country's first “feel good” musical, which is about feeling good in your own skin regardless of what life throws at you.

CHARACTERS
CHARACTERS

Turking Back's characters are similar to Ted Lasso's in a way that they both defy expectations and become heroes in their own right.

DRAMA

Mire’s background and relationship with his home country are told in the way of This Is Us’ multi-generational look on life, family, and the country.

MUSIC
MUSIC

Turking Back incorporates music into its plot by fusing everyday reality with a variety of musical styles drawn from Turkey's vast repertoire.

STYLE
STYLE

Turking Back aspires to be a show-stopping musical and visual homage to its homeland and culture.

Although pop singers dominate the country’s agenda, it is not often talked about that Turkey has recently produced world-class names in the alternative music scene. Throughout the story, Turking Back invites these musicians to its stage and uses them in a way that makes them a part of Mire’s journey. For this reason, Turking Back aims to include musical scenes in each episode.

In addition, Turking Back builds a vast musical world for itself, from the songs from Mire’s childhood reinterpreted by today’s musicians to the unique compositions made by Mire.
