Maybe it's because of the script. The Dialogues between the actors feel so artificial. It feels like the students (actors) memorized their notes and making a presentation about Ottoman history to their teachers. The lines comprising Ottoman terms of actors make it hard for spectators to understand. Hence, makes the show boring. Hope it gets better for the coming episodes.

I really like this series. It was quite intense, gruesome, brooding. Not actually fast paced but yet catches my attention from start to end. It did remind me of a combination of True Detective and Seven. The series brings together 2 detectives who are different from each other in many aspects and we see their difficulties to work with each other but must combine their resources in order to track down a gruesome serial killer. The killer's motives are tied up with some deviations of Islamic teachings - I found it hard to follow as this is new to me and had to watch certain parts again to understand this part. It was interesting. Whilst a short series, it does cater for sharing some personal aspects of both the detectives lives that affects their actions and characters. Pretty good series. I have now started on season 2 which I realize is completely independent of season 1.

Watched 2 episodes last night. A real perfect crime series. Well done all the cast and directors.

After watching the 3 episodes ,I must say it does n't seem Turkish at all .So far there is mystery in every aspect of the story that makes you excited about what comes next .No weak woman ,no unnecessary love story .If you didn't hear the language ,you would think it is a good English tv series .Needless to say that the two actors playing the two detectives are really amazing .Very good so far and totally recommended .

Just watched the first episode. The atmosphere, directing, actings, project design and all impressing. It gives a hope that's it's gonna be a milestone for Turkey show business. Can't wait the next episodes!
