Verification methodology
1. Base metadata from TMDB
Series title, year, channel, genre and poster come from the TMDB API and form the basis of each record.
2. Cross-verification
Cast and character data is compared against at least two independent sources (Wikipedia + sinemalar.com/IMDb); conflicts are resolved in favor of the more reliable/primary source.
3. Completing missing roles
TMDB omits some supporting roles in Turkish series. These are added manually from verified sources (e.g. Rıza Kocaoğlu as Temmuz in Ezel; Oktay Kaynarca as Süleyman Çakır in Kurtlar Vadisi).
4. Origin vs. review status
Each record's origin (TMDB / manual / AI draft) and review status are tracked separately; content not reviewed by a human is never marked as 'published'.
Images and licensing
Poster, still and actor images are sourced from TMDB and re-hosted as WebP on this site. All image rights belong to their respective producers and owners; used here for identification/attribution purposes only.
Editorial content transparency
Detailed synopses, character and background content on some pages are AI-compiled drafts from sources, pending editorial review. Such pages are clearly marked; each series shows its own source list on the relevant page.
