Esref Rüya

Im sorry but im dissapointed after reading Slow Over Hyped Boring comment. I encourage people to continue watching this series. It has the best actors (Necip) and actress on the screen. I mean why would Cagatay and Demet act in a series if the storyline was boring.? And the Director himself is someone to look out for with so many movies worth watching. Trust me, this series is and will be truly captivating. Another Mafia story that will keep you glued.

The start could hv be dragging as its telling the story itself. But the plot definitely gets more interesting. These Mafia stories have become an inthing these days. Excitement with romance.

Amazing direction with beautiful exterior shots. The actors have entered their roles 100%. The series combines drama, humor, strong scenes and strong performances that were evident from the first episode. I can't wait for the next episodes.

Cagatay Ulusoy has managed from the first shot to give meaning and depth to the character he plays. His gaze is captivating. It seems that he has worked hard for the role.

Demet Özdemir already has very strong (interpretative) scenes and I admit that it captivated me. It convinced me from the first episode.

The screenwriter has done an excellent job as all the characters are very well written.

51 comments after just 5 episodes??

Why is everything about this series so strange? Why are the ratings either 1 or 10? It feels like there's some bias involved and some people are intentionally giving it a 1-star rating. Even the worst Turkish films and series didn't get so many 1-star ratings after just 5 episodes like this one has.

Please stop this nonsense.

This series has been truly decent for just five episodes, and it probably hasn't even covered 10% of its story yet. How can you judge it so easily?

The directing and cinematography are way above the standard level of Turkish productions.

The acting is outstanding, especially Eshref's character, which suits Cagatay perfectly.

Honestly, it feels like you're criticizing this series out of spite.

All the accounts that gave this series a low rating or a 1 were created in April 2025. Isn't that a bit suspicious?

Currently watching Esref Ruya and I like it.

Not here to write a review, but comment on the multiple bad 1 star reviews. Everyone can have their opinion but these ones mostly seem to be written by the same person under a different name. Same writing style, same negative points, same wording. After reading a couple it became noticeable. They seem to want to bring the rating down but this person is obviously very biased for whatever reason.

So don't base your watching the series on this. It's well made with very cinematic shots. Great actor line up. The storyline is interesting and the music complements it. Give it a go.

I haven't written a review in years! This has turned out to be one of the best series out right now. It started out slow but has built up to a superbly written and acted series!

Its a very unique plotline. There's no emasculated men bullied by bitter mother/grandmother, no weak female victims getting slapped around, there are multiple villains who are psycho, but the chess moves of the tribe/mafia families, psycho exes, the "good" bad guys, and the bad bad guys has me anticipating every Wednesday night! Great series!

Cagatay and Demet are masters of their craft!

I love the supporting cast as well. Superb writing! Love this series!
