Abstract

Television series carry the structural traces of the society in which they are produced. The social, cultural and ideological values of the society are revealed to the audience through the characters portrayed on the screen. The TV series discussed in the study are examined as an indicator of social life. The sitcom named "Jet Sosyete", written by Gülse Birsel, is an important production based on utilitarian characters. This sitcom, which reflects the utilitarian attitude in social relations and the utilitarian character that emerges as a result of it, to the screen with an important degree of reality, constitutes an important example of utilitarianism critique. In this direction, the analysis of the TV series, which is considered as the research object, from a sociological perspective was made within the framework of John Stuart Mill's "utilitarianism" theory and Alain Caillé's "criticism of the utilitarian mind". Discourse analysis method was used in the study. The study, which aims to investigate and reveal the utilitarian relations and functioning in the social structure through the discourses in the series, also emphasizes the sad end by emphasizing the fate of utilitarianism.
