Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 68 /100

Critical reception for Netflix's Turkish drama Old Money positions it as an engaging, classic soapy romance that leans into rivalries, high emotional stakes, and high-society drama. Reviewers note that while the premise revolves around familiar themes of privilege and power struggles in Istanbul, the show delivers plenty of entertainment value.

Several critics praise the series for its character depth and strong performances, particularly noting how lead actors Engin Akyürek and Asli Enver elevate the central romantic narrative. Outlets highlight that characters like Nihal and Osman are written with genuine nuance rather than existing as flat archetypes.

On the other hand, the show draws some criticism for predictable plotting, clichéd romantic beats, and minor pacing issues. While some deem it a light, second-screen watch, most agree that fans of classic melodrama will find plenty to enjoy.

Why fans love it

Old Money lands in 2025 as a drama anchored by the stark collision between inherited status and aggressive ambition. The tension builds as Istanbul’s established social circles are forced to contend with an outsider whose methods are as unpredictable as his intentions. It is a calculated look at how the facade of high society fractures under pressure.

Engin Akyürek anchors a sprawling ensemble that operates within a landscape of bold, high-stakes maneuvering. The show prioritizes sharp dynamics over predictability, focusing on the tactical nature of wealth and the messy complications that follow when romantic pursuits intersect with financial dominance. It is a precise study of those who have everything to lose and those maneuvering to take it.
