Organization begins with a terrorist attack targeting drone engineers in Türkiye, resulting in their deaths and the theft of critical drone technology data. When it becomes clear that foreign intelligence services orchestrated the attack, a secret unit is formed within MİT. The unit consists of agents officially listed as deceased, known as “those who died before dying.” Led by Mete Bey (Mesut Akusta), this team sacrifices their personal lives to carry out dangerous operations both domestically and abroad. The series focuses primarily on the stories of these seven agents during its first two seasons, and has been refreshed in subsequent seasons with new characters and narratives. In the fifth season, a new team led by Captain Altay (Tolga Sarıtaş) and Neslihan (Aybüke Pusat), under the theme “From Altay to Tuna,” confronts international threats. While exploring the complex structure of the intelligence world and themes of patriotism and sacrifice, the series also weaves in elements of love, betrayal, and family bonds.

Organization centers on themes of patriotism, sacrifice, loyalty, and betrayal. Through the agents’ concealment of their identities and severance from their families, the series underscores the importance of individual sacrifice for national security. The tense atmosphere of the intelligence world is enriched by strategy and psychological games. Romantic and emotional relationships, particularly those between Serdar and Ceren and Altay and Neslihan, add emotional depth to the narrative, although some viewers have criticized these elements as inconsistent with the intelligence theme. The series highlights the role of digital technology in intelligence operations while addressing Türkiye’s strength in its defense industry and the threats it faces internationally. The fifth season’s “From Altay to Tuna” theme emphasizes national unity and solidarity by referencing Turkish history and geographic diversity. However, some critics have argued that the screenplay lacks historical depth and that action sequences are exaggerated.
As a television series, Organization does not have box office figures. However, airing on TRT 1 every Sunday at 8:00 PM, it frequently ranked at the top of viewership ratings during its broadcast period and reached a broad audience. All episodes are accessible on the Tabii platform, where the series is especially popular among viewers interested in action and intelligence genres. On social media, particularly on X, the series has been widely discussed, with certain episodes such as episodes 120 and 129 described as “top-rated.” However, among 114 user reviews on Beyazperde.com, criticisms have emerged regarding the simplification of the screenplay in recent seasons, an overabundance of romantic elements, and the perceived incompatibility of certain characters such as Neslihan. The series has also attracted international attention and contributed to the global popularity of Turkish dramas at the 2024 MIPCOM fair.
Organization is produced by Tims&B Productions and premiered on TRT 1 on March 7, 2021.

However, some viewers have criticized the quality of these international scenes, claiming they do not meet TRT’s production standards.
