20 Minutes

Really enjoyed this series which I found on NETFLIX - and being a lover of these 'who done it' series that are intelligent, well crafted, well casted, good scenery and for the most part can't out guess the writers - I sat for 4 days and watched the entire series.

It was well worth it!! Yes it rambled on and certain episodes could have been a bit 'tighter' but that was not a distraction to say the least. What a great way to be introduced to Turkish creative TV - tro be immersed in their language and culture and traditions, to see the landscape and scenery, loved every moment of it.

I felt as I watched this that I was able to touch something of Turkey - the cast was great in fact can't think of one actor who I would replace. The story line touched on certain topics one could consider 'taboo' in Turkey most especially with the political situation of 2017.

I don't know if this same series could be made today. And I'm grateful to Netflix for having this series on their programs. Now looking forward to watching more Turkish productions.

Without giving anything away - the script gave us the opportunity to learn a bit about Turkish history and the script also was very Middle Eastern in it's romantic themes, writings and dreamy dialogue/voice overs. It honors Turkish culture and gave us a glimpse into modern day Turkish traditions and culture.

Thank you for this! Can't wait to watch more and find these actors on other Netflix programs.

The show was a little slow to start for me... but by the end one of the best thrillers I have every seen. Tuba Buyukustunn is fabulous.. she was one of the most nuanced and brilliant performers I have ever watched. Well deserving to be the first actor from Turkey to receive an Emmy nomination. The show had me riveted, staying up late to binge watch. This is truly a must watch!

This is the first Turkish series that has something different to offer than another love story. The plot basically takes place in a prison, gives you an inside look about life there, the rules you have to follow in order to stay safe. The performances are great, especially the female leading actress is phenomenal, and that role gave her an Emmy nomination. We have a chance to watch peoples reaction towards death, injustice and how far can someone go for revenge and love. By far on of the best Turkish series ever !

The series is very beautiful, it gives you want more in every episode, the lead actress acting made me watch the whole series without getting bored. Turkey should make more of story like these rather than their boring usual story. I like how the whole cast invested their craft in this series, lead actors and their kids brought a very good performances. No wonder Tuba received International Emmy nomination for her brilliant performance. At time I was doubting Melek innocence to the extent I wanted to watch final episodes but then I was patient so I won't ruin the flow of the series. It is a must watch.

Great environment for movies (Istanbul that is). Great actors, a bit melodramatic but that is fine, keeps you in your seat (I watched it in 3 days). Loved it. Tuba is a great actress (and really beautiful) and like in Black Money Love, she adds a lot of value. Love to see more of this!
