The series will not be a copy of American or Argentinian series. It will have common elements, but it will be a completely different story. The first episode was excellent. The main theme is taken to another level, one that neither the Americans nor the Argentinians have reached in their versions. A strong cast, and a very well developed script. Engin Akyurek and Demet Ozdemir have an electrifying harmony. Little Rastin Paknahad is far beyond what we have seen in previous versions. It is a great injustice to say that this series is a copy of a version previously made by others...only if you are too stupid to admit it. Watch it and you won't regret it!

I have not seen the original but this seems to be a very promising show. Gripping story, no histrionics so far, great acting by Engin Akyurek, Demet and supporting cast. Good buildup and will definitely watch the series. I like the pace at which the characters were introduced and how their backgrounds will now unfold giving us a glimpse into their past. Excited!

Hope it stays as gripping as the buildup and does not drag unnecessarily which tends to be the case with most shows.

I am very disappointed by the earlier reviews and the conclusions sometimes viewers draw based on their past biases.

So good to see Engin he is looking good as always looking very good ( except the chain uff) the actress, Demet is unfamiliar to me though I think is doing well ( I always want Tuba however going with this and so far not disappointed at all ! The story is intriguing, I find myself on the edge of my chair ready for next surprise ! I absolutely love hearing the Turkish dialogue as I've missed that and - I'm really looking forward to next shows- I think this story has a lot of avenues to move ford and I'm definitely intrigued!! I have not heard of another version of this story and I prefer to asses based on the actors I'm watching - the young boy is great 👍 I felt his pain being rejected out of fear best wishes to all in the stories ahead.

I read this is an adaptation of another series called The Cleaning Lady but I've not watched that series before. So, I'm watching this with minimal spoilers. The main cast characters keep me watching this series. Demet as Farah is perfect and she plays her role very well. As a viewer, I feel her emotions and desperation. Engin as Tahir fits perfectly too. He comes across as a hardened killer and his looks and attire is exactly the part. Yet he is kind and lonely and portrays it well in those short moments. The child actor playing Kerimshah is an absolute delight. His huge eyes are very expressive. His smile lights up the screen. There's 2 issues I have with this series from episode 1 to 3 (only 3 episodes released to-date). It's a bit slow paced at some instances that I find myself multi-tasking as I watch. Secondly, the twists and turns in the story can be predictable. I was on spot in predicting some of the developments in the 3 episodes. Now I'm thinking whether my prediction on Kerimshah's father would be correct. All in all, a very watchable series.

Currently, Demet is among the most talented, appreciated and successful actresses in Turkey...The serial film is of high quality, captivating, you don't have time to get bored, it deals with sensitive themes about the life of emigrants, illness, the mafia. The character Farah was predestined to Demet. It's a lesson about pain, fear, despair, but first of all about the courage, value and strength of a woman, of a mother who does anything to see her child healthy. The actors Demet and Engin complement each other, the harmony is great. The film deserves all the awards! Bravo!!!.....Good luck!!...
