La familia Uysal

I and my wife really enjoyed this series. The subject is different than what we see Turkish series and acting is perfect. Onur Saylak is a great director. I recommend it to anybody.

Its different, its refreshing. Its a rollercoaster of emotions. The story flows and you just keep watching bc you're curious how the dots are going to connect. Its about a family with secrets, mental health issues, some lonely, misunderstood, but most of all interesting. I actually loved the absurdity. Especially the scenes with Haluk Bilginer was amazing, he cracked me up. BRILLIANT acting (even the performance of little girl Ece), directing, production, music, casting. And the last episode is the best, it has some genius overlaps between conversations from one scene to another. Bravo!

When the guy from trainspotting got a bag full of money, he decided to become and architect and settle down. He forgot about his past as a drug addict punk and focused on his family and career. He has a great apartment, kids, an engineer house wife. But once he turns 40, all this is not enough. He is longing for his youth. His everyday life becomes unbearable. And he is dressing up with his punk outfit, paying for the vacation and the drugs of some homeless punks. End of the story.

The only reason why you should watch this thing is Haluk Bilginer. He is fantastic and hilarious. You can't figure out if he really exists or if it's simply a hallucination of the protagonist. He really gets the vibe of what this series should be. Unfortunately the rest of the actors cannot keep up with his excellent approach.

Story is well written, actors are good too. It was a good description of today's Turkey except economic conditions. Wife was too annoying and by that you can understand that she acted very well. Father figure also a mess. I wonder if there will be a season 2.

If you are bored of same scenarios and characters "Uysallar" gives you a different taste ...A good view of the challenges of modern society...Lost dreams, broken relations, living under same roof without knowing each other, trying to find peace...Nice series!
