Yakamoz S-245

I didn't realize until most of the way through that this show was set in the same universe as "Into The Night". Until that point, I was thinking that it was a copy of that show, except on a submarine instead of a plane! Once the events in this show crossed over, and I had the "Oh!" moment, it all made sense and enjoyed it more.

But that's the problem--the story felt too much like a copy (and the same soundtrack?). Similar plot resulting in predictable characters and predictable outcome. It didn't really make good use of the submarine as a plot device, nor explore different characters or dynamic. Instead, we're led down the same path, with same human motivations, with characters that are very thinly developed. The story tries too hard to make a plausible beginning, more so than Into The Night. And clearly, the show's creator has an axe to grind with NATO, so the story universe is focused in Europe, and by its extension, Turkey. It seems to be self-limiting, given that the sun's destructive impact (however implausible, as it may be), affects the whole world.

Still, I can't recall more than one show based in the same story universe but in different languages/ethnicities, so perhaps that's pretty unique. And, this essentially serves as the third season of Into The Night, so I am looking forward to the fourth season (whatever the title may be called).

It's a very unbalanced show. Most of the action, thrills and premise are really strong and well executed. Most of the underlying drama is unbelievably nonsensical and adds absolutely nothing to the show.

I've read this is a Into The Night spin-off and it makes sense, because it's almost the same history in a different scenario. Not as good as Into The Night season 1, but not as bad as the second season. It's a good show to watch, but it's avoidable.

I think this is the best Turkish Series/Movie with decent CGI, cinematography, colors and score.

Saban's acting is brilliant and it is the best among all of them and the other actors are average in my opinion.

On the other hand, unfortunately the script is below average and it is a let down for sure. Writing is what is lacking with this series. To illustrate, even with the solid acting from Saban he feels cringy from time to time albeit there is nothing he could do. It is just the bad script.

I did not watch Into The Night so it might be the reason why I thought this series is interesting and made me curious how everything will be shaped in the end.

Frankly, I believe the first 4 episodes are not good. However, last 3 are really well made and made me binge to watch.

If we look at the series from a technical aspect though, I think it could have been much much much better. Scientists are not related to any science. Naval army I am pretty sure is not this loose. Submarines are probably not operated as they suggest in the series and many more weak points are here and there. I hope they hire an advisor for the next season. But, thinking about many space related movies like Star Wars I can not blame them too hard. There is no air for example in vacuum but we can hear lasers blasting, spaceships whooshing and so on :)

I am a native Turkish speaker and I can speak English, German very well with a decent accent. I watched the series in Turkish, dubbed and sometimes gave the subtitles a try in order to see how they are managed. I must admit that it is very very poor. On the other side, during the series actors' accents are weak and unnatural too.

For this series I believe the more they can fix the technical errors and get closer to submarine/naval army reality the better it will become. Also a better script writing is crucial. I would like to see the next season.

With the plot of sun killing everyone and scientists group together with military, there is plenty of 'natural drama' that would be created from that. Scientists goal would be on trying to figure out what happen, military would be following rules and survive, which would create conflict. But instead we have a series where most people on both sides have the emotional maturity of a spoiled 15-year old. There is scheming, screaming, exaggerated suspense that populate the storyline more so then the 'sun is killing everyone'. As many people mentioned, it almost seems like a season 3 of Into The Night from a different perspective. There is very little to root for and with all the scientists you would think there would be one 'logical' person in the grouping, but alas, everyone is pure selfish emotion, all the time. Did I mention the manufactured drama?

If you like the French \ European series Into the Night, in which the passengers of an airplane flee the deadly luminosity of the sun. This series is worth watching.

Same apocalyptic premise, let's say basically the same universe, different main language, a submarine instead of a plane, human beings trying to survive an impossible situation.

I loved the first season of Into the Night. The second one more or less. And I think this series will be more on par with the second season of the series I mentioned above. Maybe a little better. I saw the entire series in one sitting. I liked the characters and the atmosphere.

And even though this series isn't perfect, I think it's very edible.

But please, check with the original audio, the main language is Turkish, but there is a lot of conversation in English, Greek, Italian etc. I think the dubbed version ruins the experience a little.

A 7 out of 10 for me.
