Shahmeran

I do not understand why people rate this as cringe or stupid. This is a very beautiful and romantic piece of art, where a modern woman meets an old legend.

Both main actors are stunning in their own way. Their love is, as the legend tells, foreseen and as they meet, there is an undeniable magnetic atmosphere between them.

And they are acting actually great and quite convincible. And it is nice to see a bit of the turkish culture, such as festivities with music or dancing.

It's full with quite beautiful pictures and scenery all along.

All in all I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next season.

The poster attracted me to watch it, I thought it was horror but when I watched it appeared that it is tooo way far from ghosts, lol.

I watched it according the poster and I didn't watch the trailer so, I didn't know what it is about exactly, but when I watched it liked it so much.

After 30 minutes of the first episode I said what is it about and it looks boring, but the end of the episode made me excited to watch the second one and the second one attracted me to watch the third episode then I said, it looks nice.

I wanted to finish the whole 8 episodes in 1 day but, I didn't have time because of my work.

At the end what I want to say is that I am so excited to see second season.

Notice: ignore the bad reviews and bad comments it is fantasy drama love story.

You will love the actors, the cinematography and the actor's as**.

There is drama, romance, suspense, twist and thriller moments.

It looks like twilight only this one with snakes.

Ok it is not a great show but I don't understand why the people rate as one star. Sounds not fair. It seems that a bunch of people come together and try to reduce the rate of the show. It is contain 8 episodes and each of takes approximately 50 minutes. I watched in two days without get bored. It ends like the second season will publish that was little annoying and that was the reason I rated 6 instead of 7.

So, the show was average but Serenay Sarikaya had a great performance.she looks gorgeous, stunning and wonderful in the show and it was nice to see her here. I missed to see her performance.

Looking at the reviews on this series, there are lots of 1 ratings but also lots of 10s, indicating a complete disconnect for some but VERY high praise by others. I fall into the 10 category. It was so delightful for me to be enveloped by it.

I was totally captivated by this subtle but well-acted and well-produced series, and I will recommend it to my more discerning friends. I much enjoyed the acting, the music, the ancient story line, the setting in Turkey. But one must not come at the series with a Western bias. Approach it with openness and seeing it through the actors' eyes and a Turkish cultural perspective, not your own. Look at the Turkish people, study the intriguing storyline, revel in its creativeness.

If you can do so, maybe you'd give it a 10! But if you can's see it or do not wish to move yourself to see it, just drop it. Move on to what talks to yourself.

The 2 leads are top notch and their chemistry is palpable. Despite a slow burn in episode 1 the story starts to hit its stride in episode 2. Production values are very high and the blending of contemporary gender themes with mythology is clever and ambitious. Some of the supporting cast are a bit hammy but overall this is another impressive show out of Turkey. If you enjoyed The Gift then this is a natural progression. The first season is set up for a return and I really hope it does for Season 2! I wish Netflix would invest in second seasons like they once used to!

On a side note, the myriad 1 star reviews for this show feel like a set up and are ridiculously harsh.
