Waking Up in Someone Else’s Bed: On Ethos (Bir Başkadır), Netflix, Turkey, 2020

Abstract

The Turkish Netflix series Ethos takes a sensitive look at the quagmire that is alterity, both within and outside of psychotherapy. It offers an opportunity to challenge the rigid narratives we use to cope with the unknown and with otherness, as well as problematizing binaries such as religious/secular, primitive/civilized, client/therapist.
