Criatura

I am glad that Turkish producers are trying new ways to tell stories about horror and mystery, other than bad spirits which goes on of years (siccin, bokcin). I've read the book and loved how the story dissolves in later episodes. Saw some minor light problems, maybe because i also do YouTube shootings it caught my eye. Loved the costumes and decors which i think reflects the spirit of the era pretty well. Also the social structures are done well. Glad to see someone whos putting effort and work into music composing, it felt way different compared to other local productions. I wish the episodes were longer.

The original story is very skillfully combined with local culture and religion. The elements that are different from the original one make it feels like they serve this harmony. I also think that the changes do not harm the sub-messages of the text, on the contrary, they strengthen them from different angles. I've never felt the need to praise the acting in my previous comments. The acting of Erkan Kolçak Köstendil, who plays Ihsan, and the quality of the stage designs are the biggest strength of the work after the original text. The work contains a narrative about being human with all its fantastic and religious elements. People who do this brilliantly have always brought us the most valuable works of the fantasy genre.

I started watching with little judgement since turkish netflix works dosent have very cleverly done story telling and effective sound design. Sound design was very impressive and really builds up atmosphere of the scene effectively. They successfully created a living world and atmosphere of the era. Even when sometimes lightning had little problems on some scenes it was genuinely well used. Make up was very impressive and definitely was too realistic. I really liked how they adapt the orginal story in to ottoman era and style. Each location and character was well designed and definitely cast was amazing and performance was effective. Because turkish and english dosent really match as sound, watching the series with original language and subtitles is the best way to watch the series in my own opinion.

I randomly turned on the series but watched it all night. At first, I found it very strange that 37-year-old Taner Ölmez was playing a 17-20 year old young man who had just started attending Mektebi Tibbiye. He couldn't get over his role in the TV series 'A Miracle' but the series drew me in so much that i forgot about it after a very short time. I NEVER AGREE with comments claiming that the series is cliché. I couldn't predict how it would progress and end until the last moment. When I first looked, the IMBd score was 6.4, it is pleasing to increase by 2 points but it needs to increase even more.

One of the best serie i have watched. I wasnt expecting something this strong in story. I thought its another Frankenstein act but its much more than that. Acting, story, reflections of personalities and choices, familial bonds , ignorances of masses and many other emotions you feel regarding human behaviour, visuals, depth... This is not a fantasy genre for sure, it has those elements yes but its bare minimum. This serie is more like psychology, human nature and choices. I also loved the fact that the main character is not a purely nice guy and he is not bad either. He is literally young who learns through experience, he starts as selfish teenager but somehow finds his worth in the end. Briefly fantastic job. Its definitely worth warching.
