RTÜK launches investigation into the TV series 'Taş Kağıt Makas'

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) has launched an investigation into the series "Taş Kağıt Makas", broadcast on Kanal D, on the grounds that it violates broadcasting principles.

RTÜK Chairman Ebubekir Şahin stated in a post on his social media account that they are examining productions that contain the abuse of women and degrade women.

'WE WILL NOT ALLOW THESE PRODUCTIONS'

Emphasizing that women and children are their "red lines" and that they will continue to focus on this with sensitivity, Şahin noted the following:

"We are aware of and are closely following the reactions of both our citizens and our sensitive NGOs against the series, which contains controversial scenes. We have initiated the necessary investigation into the series, which contains scenes evaluated as violating broadcasting principles from the moment it began airing. We have never allowed, and will not allow, productions that degrade women, cause them to be seen as objects, or contain the abuse of women."

Productions that contain the abuse of women and degrade our women are under our lens.

As we have stated many times, women and children are our red line. We will continue to focus on this with sensitivity.

WHAT IS THE PLOT OF TAŞ KAĞIT MAKAS?

Umut and Rıza are a father and son living in their own small world. Rıza, who works as a cleaning worker in a plaza, devotes himself to his son Umut. Umut, who has an ordinary life, has an extraordinary condition: Hyperthymesia (extraordinary memory ability)...

Having learned to live with Hyperthymesia since childhood, Umut never forgets anything he has seen or heard throughout his life. This feature can sometimes turn into a miracle and sometimes into a disaster. One morning, Umut wakes up to a day that turns his life upside down. His father, Rıza, is taken into custody as the perpetrator of a murder. Moreover, Rıza cannot remember anything about that night. Umut and Rıza suddenly find themselves in a hell.

Fecir Emirkıran, a fast-living name of Istanbul nights who has just arrived from London, returns to the country in a way befitting his name. Kadri Palaz, with whom he fought, is taken into custody under pressure from Fecir. But Kadri's lawyer changes all the balances. Lawyer Harun Yakar, a colorful figure in the legal world, becomes a headache for Fecir with his unique methods and style. But Harun has also hit a hard rock. Will he be able to save his brother Kadri Palaz, who has an important place in his life, from the inside?

Taş Kağıt Makas: Hayatın Oyunu (Rock Paper Scissors: The Game of Life), where everyone wins and everyone loses, begins after a great disaster.

WHO ARE THE ACTORS IN TAŞ KAĞIT MAKAS?
