Doğu is a 2021 Turkish absurdist comedy-drama created by and starring stand-up comedian Doğu Demirkol, loosely inspired by his own life. The series follows Doğu — a young man who fails at practically everything — as he stubbornly chases his dream of becoming a comedian, with little support from those around him. Sharp, self-aware, and packed with observational humor, it's a refreshingly original Turkish comedy about ambition, failure, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.

Ecem and Rahmi, who are at the very beginning of their relationship, live in the basement of an apartment in Istanbul. Their life takes a different turn one night when Ecem's ex-boyfriend Kazim comes to their doorstep. The anger of Rahmi, who is very jealous, causes a night full of regrets.
