Esref Rüya

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!

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?

It is a pleasure to follow Demet Özdemir's projects. Each of her characters is different, never the same, this time in the role of a singer, a cheerful woman with a child's soul who tries to achieve her ideals. The character is perfect for Demet, they are similar, she is a person with a special soul beauty. Demet's acting is remarkable, she easily switches from comedy to drama, now we smile at her lines, then, in a few minutes we feel her feelings, fear, despair, pain.. Nisan wakes up between two evils, a policewoman obsessed with an unrequited love, who uses it to take revenge and the mafia world, where she meets Esref, who is looking for his lost love from childhood. We witness an impressive love story, reminiscent of the Hollywood atmosphere of the 60s, the cast, direction, script, music, decor, filming, are of quality. The series is worth watching, a thriller, about human relationships, love, loyalty, betrayal,

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.

PLEASE DONT CANCEL THIS SERIES ITS SO GOOD ILL CRY. Its so good but im afriad that the rating is too low it might get cancelled like Ruhun duymaz this series potential. The casting is at its finest this casting comes once in a lifetime. I hope this series goes on and i really like the chemistry between Demit and cagatay they look perfect together one of the best casting i have seen and i also love the backstory we would like to see more of it as the sries CONTINUES. As i said I see the potential of this series its amazing and only 2 episodes are in!! It got my attention. Not boring and not cliche.
