In this study, the characteristics of the media that circulate and reproduce the dominant ideas have been demonstrated through television serials. In this framework, the serials whose spatial universe is Mardin has been identified as the research object. The relationship of the representations with reality and orientalist forms of the representations encumbered with presuppositions in the serials have been problematized. In order to make a holistic interpretation, the productions that were shot and ended in Mardin have been determined as the research universe. While in the first episodes of the serials information about the characters, space, story, network of relationships and scenario systematic are presented, the paradigmatic constructions in the narrative are closed in the final episodes. Therefore, the former two episodes and final episodes of the serials have been purposively specified as the research sample. Cultural representations in eighteen episodes have been interpreted by critical discourse analysis. As a result, the following discursive themes have been reached: i. Syntagmatic elements and presented subjects for the solution with paradigmatic contrasts in narrative scale. ii. Regional representations in the determination of both space and cultural structure. iii. Mechanical forms of social solidarity. iv. Discriminatory practices for working classes and women, and in this context, patriarchal ideology, and gender inequality. So much so that it seems that it is a pluralist broadcasting approach to social relations created by mechanical forms of solidarity. In fact, a discursive system for the reproduction of competitive, possessive, individualistic, inequivalent, and sexist values have been observed in the serials.
