FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Netflix has released a trailer for new Turkish TV series A Round of Applause 
, which looks like an odd and original drama we absolutely cant wait to 
watch. We dont have many details about it yet, but Netflix has published this 
bizarre and compelling synopsis: Struggling with existential angst and 
longing for his past life in an orange, a man navigates his quirky family in 
this decades-spanning drama. 

The trailer (see below) on its own is a bit of an enigma, but pairing it with 
the synopsis we can assume that we see flashes of the protagonist Metins 
life, including when hes being born, as a child having his heartbroken, as an 
adult sat on a stage looking at an audience of people and (we assume) also 
when hes an orange. Or remembering being an orange? Were no entirely sure how 
that works. 

 A Round of Applause is a Turkish TV series (called Kuvvetli Bir Alkis in 
Turkish), which stars actors Aslhan Grbz, Fatih Artman and Cihat Suvarioglu 
in the leading roles. It's written and directed by Turkish director Berkun 
Oya, who was behind the 2022 Netflix movie Cici and has won multiple awards 
for his theater writing and directing over the years. 

The first episode will land on Netflix on February 29, 2024. Were not sure 
when the next episode of A Round of Applause will follow or how many there 
are in total, but we expect this to be a limited series with only a handful 
of episodes. What else does Netflix have in store for 2024? 

Netflix has been praised in the past for providing a home for series like A 
Round of Applause, the sort of quirky and offbeat TV shows that you wouldn't 
expect to find anywhere else. There are so many examples to draw from, but 
we're thinking shows like The OA and Maniac, which are cerebral and, in many 
ways, defy genre. 

Sure, the best streaming service has also come under fire for cancelling 
great shows , even the good ones that amassed large followings, like The OA 
and Glow. This is because it's been scaling back its original output and has 
been pushing into different spaces, like live TV sporting events and even 
mobile-friendly games. 

It's also been expanding its library into more foreign content. For example, 
earlier this month the streamer unveiled its new slate of Korean TV shows and 
movies for 2024, including the highly-anticipated second season of Squid Game 
.. It was also revealed back in January that Netflix is going to become the 
exclusive new home to Japan's Studio Ponoc , which is a promising and 
exciting new animation house filled with talent from Studio Ghibli. But these 
are, of course, just a snapshot of the different regions Netflix is 
investing. You might also like Netflix is getting a live-action adaptation of

available to watch for free right now
