Yesilçam

It was a very well-crafted script. Fresh, light and dynamic. No one realized that this hours had already gone by. We also loved how multilayered Semih's character turned out to be.

After 4 episodes, i can tell the show is well crafted on every aspects. Script, acting, directing, camera, costumes,... BluTV is really good at bringing big names to its platform by choosing interesting scripts. Last year watched Aleph starring Kenan Imirazalioglu and enjoyed it.

First 5 minutes of the show was enough for me to buy this story and be invested in Semih Ates's story. The script along with Cagatay Ulusoy's amazing performance as well as other actors in that 5 minutes is enough for everyone to be interested in Semih's story. Levent Cantak and Volkan Sumbul clearly worked hard on the script.

The pacing is good so far. (they announced it has 2 seasons, each 10 episodes) all characters especially 3 main characters Semih, Mine and Tulin are layered and each episode they reveal more of them.

The show is drama but it doesn't lack of good comical moments. Characters like Vehbi, Hakan, Advieh bring some comical moment which are really well crafted in the story and they don't feel out of place.

Cagan Irmak is really good at bringing the vibe of 60s, 70s. Before Yesilcam i watched My Grandfather's People and that movie increased my expectations and so far i'm enjoying the show so much.

The whole cast are exactly where they should be. No one is out of place. Performances are very good and on point.

Yesilcam just like what Semih said, "I make a movie that heals patients", brings good time to its viewers by telling a beautiful story about Golden days of Turkish Cinema in 60s and 70s.

I am already a fan of period pieces and I was expecting such work for a long time. The atmosphere of the period was successfully mirrored. Decor, costumes, makeup, etc. I found everything very harmonious. It's just that their accents were more modern; I'd like them to be treated more sensitively.

Other than that, I really enjoyed watching it. I've always been curious about Yesilcam's behind-the-scenes. For me, I would say that this series has filled a big gap. Not to mention being shot by a director like Cagan Irmak.

Yesilcam is a great series which is well researched and brings nostalgia as it focuses on political atmosphere and how the history of Turkey affected the process of film making there. Characters are so well crafted especially the multidimensional character of Semih who's got some really good dialogues by the way. It's a great period drama which tells you a story of relatively sincere people that used to exist at that time. It's not just a show about how filmmaking used to take place those days and how Yesilcam was a thing of pride to people as Turkey became the fourth largest producer of films in the world at that time, but it's also a show which tells the history of Turkey from the perspective of a film producer in an enjoyable ride for all.

As a Turkish series, this series, which takes place in Istanbul, is very successful. They reflected the 1960s very well. The players are awesome. I watched with pleasure and longing. Congratulations to the entire team. Quality 👍
