Critical reception
Medcezir received positive reviews from most critics and was claimed to be even better than The O.C..[42][43] Writing for Sabah, Yüksel Aytuğ mentioned that "Medcezir has brought a breath of fresh air to television with its first episode, but unfortunately I see from the first episode that the scenario has some troubles".[44] It was initially determined by Warner Bros. that following the popularity of The O.C, the series was to be made by Ay Yapım to invest in a number of other countries, however Medcezir became more popular than The O.C. in many countries and was promoted by Warner Bros. as one of the most successful TV series in the world.[45] The vice president for format development and marketing of Warner Bros., Andrew Zein, gave an interview to Television Business International magazine in which he said that Medcezir was a very successful series on a world-wide scale among the productions adapted from their works, and that Medcezir was very striking and engaging as an iconic project.[46][47] American magazines Variety and The Hollywood Reporter reported on the Turkish version of The O.C. and found it to be made in accordance with worldwide standards.[48][49] Shortly after the first episode of Medcezir was broadcast, Agos called it The New Phenomenon of the Screen and added that it "is already a candidate for being one of the best series of this season".[50] Ayşe Karaduman, who wrote a review on Radikal's website, commented that "The series that brought together all the talented and experienced actors as a cast, has a script that completely fell below my expectation." She believed that the cast of Medcezir were good, but the script was weak and not genuine at all.[51] Another Radikal writer, Zeynep Gönenli, commented that "for an adaptation, to be different from its original work and to not be like it, and to do it without ruining the story is something that is not common at all".[52] For the first season, the script for Medcezir was closely based on The O.C. but it was later announced that the second season would progress in a different way.[53]
After the series ended, the former governor of Istanbul Hüseyin Avni Mutlu commented on the finale: "43 years ago the finale of Love Story and now the end of Medcezir left us devastated".[54] Media reported that the finale of the series was written cleverly and would surprise the audience.[55][56] Writing for Vatan, Oya Doğan believed the finale was the way that the viewers wanted it to be and added that the series was successful in leaving its influence behind.[57] The website for Milliyet newspaper published a list of successful series with high ratings, in which the name of Medcezir also appeared as one of the unforgettable shows.[58] In another article on Milliyet's website the finale was described as an ending "fitting the name Medcezir, a great farewell".[59] On the day the finale was set to air, the hashtag "#hiçunutmayacağız" (we'llneverforget) was used by fans on Twitter, which ranked first on the Trend Topic list hours before the episode was broadcast and after five hours with 106,326 tweets it became the most frequently used hashtag on the platform.[60][61] The website N'oluyo published an article by Nida Fındık, who said that she would remember the series as a fairy tale and added that it had created a very beautiful two years for its audience.[62]
