Doğu is a 2021 Turkish absurdist comedy-drama created by and starring stand-up comedian Doğu Demirkol, loosely inspired by his own life. The series follows Doğu — a young man who fails at practically everything — as he stubbornly chases his dream of becoming a comedian, with little support from those around him. Sharp, self-aware, and packed with observational humor, it's a refreshingly original Turkish comedy about ambition, failure, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.

A driver with hours left until retirement, an engineer who is the silent hero of the sky and passengers... All in the same vehicle, but in different lives. On the night of July 15, an ordinary journey turns into the route of destiny.

Facing a harsh fate, Zeliha renounces the spell and decides to dedicate her life to her granddaughter. That is, until Nazar is sexually abused and brutally murdered at the age of 17.
