Ethos

 Mariam is a young lady looking after two children and taking care their mother and their house. She is taking care of her brother's children as their mother is severely depressed and is suicidal. And her brother who has lost is his job and now is working as a bouncer in a night club is irritable and very rude. 

Mariam also works as a cleaning lady in three houses. She has been advised to visit the psychiatrist after her frequent fainting episodes. She visits the psychiatrist and is very polite and sweet but mentions the name Synan whose house she cleans and is apparently is attracted to.

Now it is strange to find such a serial in Netflix. Ethos - a Turkish serial is a real life drama where everyone is miserable in their own way. Mariam is sad because she is burdened with her brother's family and is not married and is working as a domestic help. Her sister in law is depressed and tries to kill herself 3 times because her husband has lost his job and also is very abusive towards her. And Mariam's brother Yasin is sorrowful as he is tired of taking care of his wife. And the only support they all get is from their religious guru, not a psychiatrist. And the children watch helplessly. 

Thank God, we Indians are not as "religious". We believe, but we also believe in doctors and psychiatrists. Let us pray that we do  not head towards such a "glorious" past of religion above everything else.
