Summary/Abstract: Society still defines itself mostly through two identities and determines its poles. However, identities are open to change and not always on two sharp poles. This differentiation is usually visible in religious-secular representations. In this context, we can understand how religiosity and secularism produce themselves and the causes of tension by looking at the functioning and rhythm of daily life. The TV series Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sorbet), which started broadcasting on Show TV in 2022, is about the marriage of the son of a religious family and the daughter of a secular family. It touches on daily life practices and tension points. At the same time, identity representations that can be defined as fluid religious are featured in the series. In this study, Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis was used and the TV series was analyzed in order to identify the representations in question. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that secular and religious lifestyles differed in greetings and wishing discourses, pets, gender-based doctor preferences, actions and discourses against violence against women, the comparison of science and the sacred, and place preferences.
