Netflix’s Old Money branded “good old-fashioned soapy romance” enters UK trending chart

The new Turkish series *Old Money* on Netflix has quickly become popular in the UK, trending after all eight episodes were released worldwide on October 10th. It’s been described as a classic, dramatic romance.

Aslı Enver and Engin Akyürek lead the cast of *Old Money*, a series created by Meriç Acemi and directed by Uluç Bayraktar. Enver plays Nihal, and Akyürek plays Osman.

Osman, a successful man who built his fortune from the ground up, falls in love with Nihal, a diplomat from a long-established and wealthy seafaring family. Their relationship is complicated by the influence of their very different backgrounds and the power that comes with their families’ wealth.

The cast also includes well-known actors like Dolunay Soysert, İsmail Demirci, Serkan Altunorak, Sedef Avcı, Taro Emir Tekin, Selin Şekerci, Zeynep Oymak, Armağan Oğuz, and Ahmet Utlu, alongside Akyürek and Enver.

The series *Old Money* is proving popular with Netflix viewers in the UK, currently ranking as one of the top 10 shows on the streaming platform.

I’m so excited about this story! It’s all about how the person who really shakes things up comes out on top. We follow Osman, who started with absolutely nothing and built an incredible life for himself through some seriously daring and smart choices. It’s a classic underdog story, and I can’t wait to see how he does it!

Nihal comes from a family with a long history of wealth and is incredibly skilled at navigating social situations. This story explores the rivalry between established wealth and newly acquired fortune, a battle of influence and intelligence, and the unexpected romance that blossoms between two powerful individuals.

According to a review in *Decider*, the Turkish series *Old Money* is a classic, dramatic romance filled with rivalries, unexpected plot twists, and intense emotional moments. The review also highlights the show’s beautiful scenery and frequent shots of boats, asking, ‘What more could you ask for in a series?’

According to Digital Mafia Talkies, *Old Money* isn’t particularly engaging as a background watch. They feel the plot is predictable and doesn’t require much focus, suggesting the show doesn’t fully capture or even expect the audience’s attention, leading to unnecessary repetition.

Old Money is streaming on Netflix.
