Alef

Watched 2 episodes last night. A real perfect crime series. Well done all the cast and directors.

After watching The first 2 episodes I am absolutely amazed at the quality of the show. The acting, dialogue, story, pacing and cinematography are all top notch. The show immediately grabs your interest from the first few scenes and doesn't let go.

Maybe it's because of the script. The Dialogues between the actors feel so artificial. It feels like the students (actors) memorized their notes and making a presentation about Ottoman history to their teachers. The lines comprising Ottoman terms of actors make it hard for spectators to understand. Hence, makes the show boring. Hope it gets better for the coming episodes.

Firstly the show is so different from the classical turkish tv shows. The story telling, characters, scenario, cinematography... It's so creative and I think it's one of the best example of turkish criminal series. From time to time it's losing it's tempo but then it making amends. In the final episode, I was so excited. I suggesting for everyone.

Alef is already one of the most serious works in Turkey because of the quality of acting,directing, dialogues,technical parts and perhaps most importantly cinematography,it is perfect and praiseworthy actually.There are not many series worldwide which offer this kind of a cinematography and detailed work.It is too early to say a certain thing about story but it is intriguing with a opening like this.This series is a co-production between fx and blutv.There is a huge potential in these kinda shows and it should be supported and expanded.I hope it gets the necessary attention.Have a good time everyone.
