This is fantastic international series with absolutely gripping plot which starts at frame one and finishes at last frame of episode qui ding plot to opening of potential season 2. Can Yaman has delivered master performance which glues you to the screen from get go. His portrayal of torment and pain leaves you breathless while on other side his performance in love scenes with Gloria are completely convincing. Greta Ferro delivers incredible heroin Gloria with complete conviction and Will Kemp and Kieran O'Reilley deliver stunning antagonists. The shout also goes to Magnus Samuelson and his performance as Gunther.... This is must watch and must season 2 project.

The plot of the series starts right at the beginning of the first episode and it is clear that this will be a war in Syria and terrorist driven plot with quite heavy scenes. The feature music of the first episode is well chosen. There are very gruesome scenes or mass shootings which I can imagine would very much reflect reality. The involvement of women in terrorist organisations and cruelty is also highlighted right from the start. This is not a series you will want to watch for entertainment. It really is only for select few who would want to see this kind of theme and genre. The series is what it is. I find Engin is good and so the rest of the cast, but I find Engin is getting stuck in the same or very similar genre. His characters seems to blend into one and there is none which stands out anymore. Surely hischarcaters are carried by often gripping and overly dramatic plot but that is not enough for me to be captivated by him as an actor. He surely has talent but he is playing it very safe in respect of his script and character choices. He has written this series and I have to ask myself why. He has talent for writing gripping war/violent script.
