## Synopsis

Hekimoğlu (2019-2021) is a Turkish medical drama created for Kanal D. Doctor Ateş Hekimoğlu (Timuçin Esen) is a successful infectious diseases and nephrology specialist in his forties, working at a hospital where his friend Ipek (Ebru Özkan) is in charge. Around him orbit colleagues including Orhan Yavuz (Okan Yalabık), Emre Acar (Aytaç Şaşmaz), Mehmet Ali Çağlar (Kaan Yıldırım) and Zeynep Can (Damla Colbay), whose professional rivalries, romantic entanglements and hidden agendas tangle with the patients passing through the wards. Each episode pairs a clinical case with the personal and institutional pressures surrounding it, and the storylines build across two seasons totaling 51 long episodes. The tagline Everybody lies frames the show's suspicion toward its characters, and its tone mixes tense hospital drama with glossy prime time sentiment. Set in contemporary Turkey, it is a serialized network melodrama. Fans of Grey's Anatomy, House and other medical dramas will find resonance in its blend of clinical cases and interpersonal intrigue.
