Gassal

I watched Gassal from start to finish. It was good, dramatic, and occasionally funny. However, there were repetitive scenes that felt unnecessary and too long at times. Additionally, the episode titles and images often gave away the ending. For instance, it wasn't hard to predict the final scene of the last episode. When they hinted at a very sad ending, it became obvious. Thankfully, the ending wasn't as dramatic as I expected.

The series felt a bit overrated. Episode 3 was terrible, and some episodes were mediocre. However, episodes 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 were good. Overall, I'd rate it a 7/10 because the concept, while unique, didn't feel like something that could be significantly expanded. The stories were well-crafted, but there were many repetitive scenes that didn't add any humor or depth.

Ahmet Kural's performance was excellent, but most of the supporting characters were mediocre. The song "Icim Yanar" at the end really touched me; its harmony with the ending was perfect. I also liked the images at the beginning of the episodes and the opening theme song. However, despite the short duration of the series, there were too many music transitions.

I only pushed through because I was curious about the ending. Otherwise, episodes 2, 3, and 4 had some painfully boring scenes that I struggled to get through. Sensitive viewers might find this series deeply emotional and dramatic. When I think of everything that happened to Baki as a whole, I feel sad.

In conclusion, I'd give this series a 7/10. I can't rate it lower because it's different and intriguing in its own way.

This is a mix of both great subtle comedy and heartfelt drama. Ahmet Kural is a great actor. Show does everything warms your heart, makes you smile and cry. I hope they don't spoil it by making a second season. The music is great. I would buy the album if they ever made one that contains those songs. Selçuk Aydemir is beyond a just comedy director. I can not remember when last time a show touched my heart. Scenes are so unique and has a vintage feeling to it. Drapes in Baki's house are straight from the 80's. The town that they are living in is a such warm place, i would live there. This is a kind of show that you buy subscription for.

The production we watched is far from flashy scenes and offers emotional and enjoyable moments from real life.

Were there boring scenes? Yes. But giving this a 1-star rating makes me question people's sanity or integrity.

The ones giving it 1 star are Turks with an inferiority complex.

At some points, the series spoils itself even before it begins, and someone in the comments didn't like that!

The series is set in a gloomy atmosphere, with death as its main theme, but they've brightened it with family, love, children, and a variety of emotional transitions.

If shot in Europe, it would've been a Golden Globe nominee.

Enjoy watching.

In my opinion, it was a series with a different perspective when looking at the history of Turkish series. We watched situations that were far from clichés. I only deducted 2 points. The musical elements were what bothered me the most. There are so many musicals that almost half of the movie is spent with clips. Other than that, a few episodes were very boring. The events are dragged on too long. It started to get even more boring after the second episode. These negativities are things that can happen in any series. It makes us Turks happy to see such things. Ahmet Kural is perfect for the lead role. I don't think anyone else could have portrayed the character of Baki so well. An extraordinary Turkish production that should be watched.

This is a series that everyone who thinks about it should watch. The internal conflicts of the character played by Ahmet Kural, finding things that are ordinary for everyone strange, seeing situations that are abnormal for everyone as very normal and being used to them like "the dead" and having difficulty finding someone to marry, I learned a lot from myself. What happens to a single undertaker or a body washer who is over 30 without a mother may seem funny at times for those who know Ahmet Kural and his facial expressions as a comedian. I laughed a lot in some scenes. And there is also this: the issue of God's plan. From episode 1 to episode 10, you will see how every problem is solved with pain and distress and what other tests it opens the door to. Watch it with your spouse if you have one. If you are single, this series will hurt you a little. In my opinion, it may be one of the top 3 best international Turkish TV series made in recent years.
