Mezarlik

Mezarlik is a crime drama in 4 story documentary format. The interesting part about this crime drama is it deals with feminicide in a society that is patriarchal. It tries to bring to light the social and political implication of an issue that is swept under the rug or ignored. I highly recommend this series. With an incredible and realistic Performance by Birce Akalay and other actors the series comes to light. You will cry. You will be horrified and ashamed of what women go through in domestic violence Unlike Amber Heard.

I enjoyed a lot and wanted to see more episodes of this series. Acting and screenplay was perfect. There were both tears and laugh on my face during each episode. Hope to see other season asap.

I've been interested in Turkey because i lived in Turkey in the late 50s. This series is probably the most entertaining and well acted series in a long time, full stop.

I love this genre of crime and enjoyed it immensely. However, the issue of femicide is worldwide and one of the highest here in the USA. If this is a new topic allowed in Turkey, I understand. This relevant show may receive even more attention if the storyline focused less on uber feminism and on the very powerful crimes against the weak, children and the elderly.

I have an issue with the strict demands of the review length. Therefore, I added this,

I have never seen or heard of any Turkish shows before. I am grateful that Netflix had it available in English.

It was slow but I couldn't stop watching. I loved the main female character. She was so strong & beautiful. The generations after generations of abuse, in many forms that women experience.

The show seems very primitive & simple, but I do not know Turkish culture. Although stories & dialog were intense.

I binged both seasons at once and am awaiting for season 3 hopefully sooner rather than later.

Give the show a try with an open mind. It would be interesting to see another Turkish show however, I would not be able to watch without out it being dubbed in English.

I can say that it is the best Turkish crime series I have watched so far. Indeed, Birce Akalay's masterful acting comes to the fore in every series. I can say that I was completely emotionally affected while watching the series. Viewers who like to watch detective content, you should definitely watch this series.
