Baba

Baba is not the regular popular show. At beginnign I didn't start watching it, but I decided to give it a try, and what a surprise. I love the storyline so far, specially Ilhan and Busra love. Hakan Kurtas play a masterful character, he deserves an award.

I started this show for Haluk and Tolga. I was worried about the chemistry Ozge and Hakan would have. I was wrong. I am obsessed with Ilhan and Busra. They are the heartbeat of the show. Their chemistry is so potent that mere eye contact conveys the innocence of first love. I am loving the character growth of both Ilhan and Busra. Hakan Kurtas is the best actor. I will watch anything with him. The writers of Baba also keep us going. Best Turkish dizi of 2022. 5 stars.

I give this 5 stars because I have watched a lot of Dizis but haven't seen anything quite like Baba. The acting is phenomenal! The episodes are suspenseful and keep your attention from start to finish. The plots are not predictable. Characters change over time and are flawed; the good guys become bad guys and vice-versa. I love the way it portrays a traditional and religious Turkish family.

Up to Season 2 episode 24: Bad people ALWAYS win in this series. I seriously question the character and morals of the writers and director of this series. It's seriously not normal. How many men are working there and how few are the controllers/abusers...they can easily be overpowered, locked up so no one will ever find them. Why are they so spineless?

Old review: This series looks promising. Everything Tolga Saritas stars in is good...he makes everything good...such a brilliant, soulful actor. I just wish they starred Özge Yagiz (Busra) as his love interest and not Beril Pozam (Sevil). Kadir and Busra has a lot of chemistry and it would be more credible. They don't fit as bother and sister. Beril is an excellent actress but doesn't have chemistry with Tolga. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the development of this story. Hakan Kurtas (Ilhan) always plays the vilain very well.

Episode 5 and the series is already starting to lose credibility..."everyone is bad" and trying to distort the now rich family. It's a bit too much.

Episode 10/11 The explosion....now all seriousness /credibility is gone. Clearly the creators of this series didn't do their research on the devastation an explosion leaves. Fortunately the paramedics didn't have to struggle with the dead, torn off limbs, blood and embedded shrapnel as the most seriously injured in this explosion is Elif with a cut brow...lol. The guy in the middle of the explosion actually got up and walked out with Kadir, no blood just dust on his face...seriously? Were you just lazy or didn't have a make-up artist to recreate injuries? At least don't let everyone run out of the building uninjured. I was really hopeful for this series.... I'll keep watching just because of Tolga Saritas and Hakan Kurtas.

Must be honest, I was looking forward to season 2...what a disappointment. Episode after episode about an old man with Alzheimers running away and Busra and Ilhan having the same conversation over and over. There is no meat to the story...them trying to win back their business for instance. Just loss after loss after loss. No wins for this, beyond miserable family. Now I'm done watching. You've wasted Tolga's talent in this stupid series that actually had so much potential to be very interesting if the writers just stuck to the storyline in season 1. They have clearly run out of ideas.

Too many "Baba" families with various problems, only add to the length of the episode without sufficient quality. What's confusing is who the main actor in this story is not clear, if it's Kadir he doesn't have enough ability to deal with the chaos caused by the author. Actually a lot of quality players here but with a chaotic storyline, their talent is wasted. What's frustrating is that everyone is easily controlled by Baba and Ilhan...
