Uzak Sehir

I made the mistake of ignoring this superb series because of their poster, thinking that it will be a lazy family drama with a kid involved.

Finally when I gave it a try, I was blown away from the very first episode. It gripped me from the srat to the available last episode. Music is also phenomenal and very well complement the fast pace story.

No dragging moments, no rubbish to stretch the episodes, pure entertainment with mysterious plot twists and decent action. I believe story will unfold and it will turn into an action packed series.

Have not find anything after Cukur but so far it has the potential to reach to that level.

Honestly it's been a long time I have been hooked on to something, the actors and actresses portray their roles pretty well, good storyline it keeps you wanting more, im addicted to Mondays I'm always looking forward to new episodes every week, Alya is now my favorite Turkish actress she's so pretty and I am obsessed with her, Give give it a try you won't regret. It's not one of those cheesy shows. The show is mature and I recommend watching. I'm looking forward to them confessing their love to each other, The best of the best. Strong female and male lead. And the side actors and actresses add spice to the show. It's really good.

It's a great series, even though I normally hate watching TV series/movies, it hooked me. Everyone tries to fulfill their roles in the best way possible and I think they show excellent acting. I can't give spoilers, but I definitely recommend you to watch it. I want to talk briefly about the subject. Ayla's husband Boran dies in a traffic accident. Ayla and her son Deniz Cihan come to Mardin with the funeral, but the Alboras do not allow them to return. If I explain the rest, it will be a spoiler. Be sure to watch it. A movie broadcast on Kanal D, distant city by the way. My favorite characters Ayla ,deniz cihan.

Title: Love That Heals Without Asking

Review:

In Uzak Sehir, the relationship between Aliya and Cihan is a masterclass in emotional storytelling.

Aliya, once guarded and emotionally distant, slowly begins to adapt to Cihan. Not because he demanded change, but because he quietly stayed. He did not try to break her walls; he simply waited until she let him in.

Cihan matched her silence and respected her pain. Through that silent understanding, love grew - not with drama, but with patience and healing.

This is not a love that fights pain, but a love that embraces it and transforms it.

True love does not conquer. It heals.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.

Fascinating characters, gripping storyline and exotic scenery makes this series addictive.

The character Alya is strong and brave, admirable and mature beyond her age. She is fearless and a protective, loving mother. Cihan is dedicated and respectful, works constantly at trying to please and protect his loved ones. I adore Kaya's unfaltering love for Zerrin and am touched by the impossible love story between Sahin and Nare. Even the "villains" are amazing to watch. Madame Sadakat may seem cruel and cold, but that actress is surely playing her role immaculately. She is chilling and beautiful at the same time. The character, Demir is nasty, but he seems to have a playful side that keeps him somehow enjoyable to watch. The side characters are also funny and endearing. Kadir is a riot, and has me rolling every time he is talking on the phone with his mouth full...or stealing food from the kitchen! It would be a crime not to mention the young actor who plays little Cihan (Deniz). I could listen to that cute guy all day. He is adorable. I also would like to mention my appreciation for the use of dialect. It is not cliché nor cartoonish, but just adds to the characters' believability.

All that was just about the characters. But the characters without a storyline is lost. The plot is gripping and often heart wrenching. The series is intense and moving yet often times comical and clever. From the first show, I was hooked. To think that this bright woman would be trapped in a land that was foreign to her, and at risk of losing her son is unimaginable. The obstacles she has endured is dumbfounding. What Cihan is going through, as he protects his family, is also crazy. It's a lot, but it makes the show exciting.

I am eagerly looking forward to each new episode.
