Die Unsterblichen

It's way premature for me to write any accurate or thorough review of this series, as I've only just now finished episode 4 of 8, but I wanted to put a word in about the cast as well as the dubbing. The cast appears to do an excellent job, overall. There are a few misses, even a major one such as the leader of the Istanbul vampires, Dimitri, who is far too over-the-top and self-absorbed for my taste, but by-and-large this cast shines through convincingly. The movie is filmed in their native Turkish language (forgive my ignorance; I have not researched what this language or dialect would be called), and subtitled. Additionally, someone decided to take the time and invest in the expense to have the entire scripts dialogue dubbed in English.

So although initially the first episodes were a lil boring.. I mean not too interesting, the next episodes caught my attention. I really liked the dynamic between Mia & Dimitry. The love/hate steaminess was so good. The plot twist was interesting!! But now I need to....How will it end? Was that the end? Will there be a season 2? Whyyyyyyyy???

I love Kerem Bürsin and he played a very appealing vampire. It's the first non drama Turkish series I've watched and I believe that it has a lot of potential. It was a bit boring and the ending was bad. The show is called Immortals but in the end the immortals are killed, it doesn't make sense. I would love to see Mia (Elçin Sangu) bring Dmitry back to life. More CGI, I mean it is a show about vampires. Honestly I only finished watching the show because of Kerem. His Alpha Male character was on point but I don't get the storyline. Even though the chemistry was there, there was very little action.

Yeap, dispite the potentially interesting story setting and a backdrop of east-meets-west Istanbul, every character in the series is a plot hole. EVERYONE! I can see the main actors n actress have done well to portrait their characters, but simply put, none of the characters make sense there. The final twist even made me laugh. Female vengeance should be much, much deeper in description.

Come to my senses, it doesn't look like a compelling battle between humans n vams. It's pretty much just a gang fight between 2 underground nightclubs.

For this being Turkish, it's pretty sold. Wish there was more than just one season.
