Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock without any TV or internet, which is unlikely, then you\u2019ve probably heard about Ertugrul<\/strong>. The Turkish historical epic is the most talked-about series in Pakistan right now.<\/p>\n

Despite criticism from a few \u2018disgruntled\u2019 actors seeking attention, the hype-train for this incredible show continues to grow. However, we\u2019re here to tell NOT to watch this series!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before everyone loses their mind and attacks us in the comments, just hear us out and it will all become very clear.<\/p>\n

So, here are a few reasons why you shouldn\u2019t watch Ertugrul<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Very Addictive!<\/h3>\n

The word \u2018addiction\u2019 is an understatement for what this show has done to our \u2018awaam\u2019. Like a new biryani spot opening nearby, people all over the place are rushing to their TV sets to catch the latest episodes.<\/p>\n

Producers at HUM TV or ARY are standing confused on the sidelines as people are tuning to a channel that was long forgotten \u2013 PTV!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forget About Sleep<\/h3>\n

Sleep deprivation is a very serious issue, and Ertugrul <\/strong>is to be blamed! The show has over hundreds of one-hour episodes per season! As is the case with most late-night television, our parents are there to remind us to hit the sack.<\/p>\n

But what can be done if the parents are just as addicted to the show as their kids? God have mercy on the poor souls who plan on binging all 5 seasons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Making Our Dramas Look Bad!<\/h3>\n

It is one thing to be a brilliant Netflix series, but to still look good even with Urdu dubbing and the audacity to air on a channel like PTV? Outrageous!<\/p>\n

We Pakistanis are accustomed to subpar dramas with all the \u2018rona-dhona\u2019 and \u2018saas-bahu\u2019 plots. So this seems like a breath of fresh air!<\/p>\n

This show has put so much pressure on our talented and mediocre writers and actors who are in fear of losing their entitled popularity. It is forcing them to think outside their not-so-big box and produce good content. Have a heart, people!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019re No Longer Stalking Our Desi Actors<\/h3>\n

The woes of our poor Pakistani actors\/actresses continue to grow as people are more in love with these Turkish stars.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days when we use to give \u2018nashiyateen\u2019 and write \u201cnyc pic deer\u201d to our hard-working Lollywood stars. Nowadays, everyone on social media is obsessed with the cast of Ertugrul<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Look at what you\u2019re doing to these poor actors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Turn Turkey Into Centaurus<\/h3>\n

Turkey is already one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The show only emphasizes the historic richness and beauty of the place. Pakistanis don\u2019t need any second invitation and Ertugrul <\/strong>is tempting enough to make us take a long trip (coronavirus or not).<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already turned Baku, Azerbaijan into Murree. Don\u2019t let the same happen to Turkey!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ve learned a valuable lesson and will maintain social distancing from this brilliant Turkish show. Or are you planning on watching Ertugrul no matter what?<\/p>\n
