In the latest season of As the Crow Flies, Asli and Lale are still grappling with the aftermath of the events from the last season. Asli’s ‘The Other Side’ faces one issue after another while Lale has given up mainstream media and is trying to devote her time to her home. However, her husband Selim knows that she misses her work and something is missing from her life. However, the moment she comes back to the screen, old rivalries and friendships start to come back to the surface and start another war for the top ratings. Who will win?
Birce Akalay reprises her role of journalism queen Lale Kiran, with Miray Daner joining once more as Asli Tuna. Created by Meric Acemi, the Turkish drama series also stars Ibrahim Celikkol, Burak Yamantürk, Irem Sak, Defne Kayalar, Elif Kurtuaran, Yasemin Eti, Bülent Çetinaslan, Merve Nil Güder, and others. The second season, akaKus Uçusu, is directed by Koray Kerimoglu and produced by Kerem Catay and Cem Ozkan and has 8 episodes, each with a runtime of around 45-50 minutes.
Asli vs Lale – Who Wins?
Throughout the runtime, Asli continues to fight against Lale, trying her best to “earn” her place in front of the camera. However, she finds it difficult to do that since, in her heart, she knows that she has not worked hard enough to earn the place. Thus, she was always on the edge and unsure about where she stood with the show and on the network and always wanted validation from everyone around her.
However, in the end, it is Lale who wins because she took the good and the bad with grace and accepted her place throughout her professional career. Her honest practices brought her forward in the race and she eventually wins, with Mon5 removing Asli after her ratings tank.
Why Were Lale and Kenan Butting Heads?
Lale and Kenan’s past came into their present as they harboured deep feelings for each other but couldn’t be together since Lale was married. Then the misunderstandings started, and Lale started to find faults in him to mask her actual feelings. At one point, the misunderstandings grew to a degree where he decided to leave Lale and move on to another network in order not to repeat the same cycle over and over again.
Why did Selim and Lale Divorce?
Selim knew for a long time that even though his relationship with Lale was special and full of love, she wasn’t in love with him and her feelings were reserved for Kenan. He tried for a long time to make it work but eventually realised that their relationship would never be how he wanted it to be. Thus, he decided to go through with the divorce in order for both of them to find love and peace individually.
Why did Asli Meet Lale?
Asli, after going through a rough patch at her work place, meets Lale to pull her down in order to feel good about herself and find validation somehow. She probably wanted someone to acknowledge that she was doing a good job and there was no one better than Lale for that task. Unfortunately, Lale, in spite of being ambitious and loving her job, didn’t do it out of ill will and deserved to be where she is because she fought for it. Lale gives Asli a lot of different advice so that she is able to calibrate and realise the realities of the journalism field, but it seems Asli is someone who learns her lessons the hard way.
Why did the Asli Remove Muge and Gul?
Unsure of where she stood in the network and constantly looking over her back, Asli had Gul fired in order to consolidate power gets Guliz to replace Gul. She is then manipulated by her assistant, who frames Muge to get rid of her.
What Happened to Asli in the End?
In the end, Asli’s ratings fall too low consistently and the network decides to get rid of her. She gets drunk and vents on air about her job and how unfair everyone is before making a rather shameful exit, unlike Lale. In the end, she and Gul start another show together, which might be able to compete against ‘The Other Side’.
Did Lale Come Back to ‘The Other Side’?
Lale and Kenan are approached by Mon5 to join the show again, which Lale declines. She decides to do something away from mainstream media and away from the competition. However, she leaves the show in the hands of Kenan and Yusuf, who turns out to be a promising star for the show, someone who has earned his place.
What Does the Last Scene Signify?
The last scene signifies the possibility of As the Crow Flies Season 3 as we see Lale being pulled into a leaked sex tape news of her own. We might see her coming back to the media to clear her name of the false allegations.
All episodes of As the Crow Flies are streaming on Netflix.
