This series is supposed to be based on a novel that is based in real life story but the depiction in the series has gone to the extreme.

The probability that all the scenes in this series happening in real life is very slim.

Too unbelievable for grown up adults to be treated as little kids.

Too unbelievable for grown ups to be watched my parents or grand parents in all their daily steps and actions.

Too unbelievable for a grand parent to be listening all the time with her ear on the door of a married couple to make sure they are love-making, and getting inside their room almost all the time to zero privacy.

Too unbelievable that the old lady is forcefully commanding everyone around her even those unrelated to her. What is she? That powerful? One hand blow and she'll die.

This series has too much immorality and impossibilities.

The family are trying to portray a clean reputation but in reality there are too much corruption, dishonesty, perversion and indecency.

Up to episode 58, it's ok, not good but ok. Past that, it's repetitive and unbearable to watch.

It's like Addams Family on drama.

I stream numerous Turkish Series via internet/Turkish website offering subtitles a number of them are not worth watching but this series is so enjoyable for it's dark underbelly, sociopath characters all circling around the patient so accomplished sweet natured Nalan whose ideal husband Sedat is not worth a fleeting glance which she is slowly realising.

Burcu Biricik is brilliant as she is in everything I have seen with her performing. One of the best Turkish actresses.

To answer query below the reason the wealthy father doesn't paint the house is obvious he also has the butler count out the olives and cheese for all for breakfast he is a Scrooge!

My mantra is to loose at all series made/produced by Onur Gavanatman (excuse spelling) cannot go wrong.

Pliz continue more I love this series so much. I hope everyone is interesting to watch more.

Storyline is a bit hard to watch. Child abuse in both families with people (supposedly caring) just standing by allowing it to happen. Story draws one in and you wish Nalan to get angry just a little. She seriously needs help breaking free from everyone abusing & manipulating her. The affect the abuse of her grandmother has had on Nalan reverberates throughout her adult life, so much so that she cannot see who else is having the same affect on her. She later becomes a pathetic person, clinging to her abuser, who she gave up everything for. Or maybe it's the realisation that she has given up everything for someone who was not worthy at all.

This series, loosely based on true events, is actually very good. Portraying the affect abuse has on a person, and how difficult it is to break free and see things for what they really are. I shouldn't give bad ratings because I 'm so frustrated and angry with the characters. All the actors are excellent.

People you once loved, you later hate and vice versa. You want to stop watching but you just can't. One hopes that there will be a happy ending for Nalan...with healing in the end.

Although a lot of the creativity of the images could use some value-add, I give high rating for the storyline and for the acting. The psychologist contributes a great aspect to this dark drama. Especially characters of Selena and Feride are excellent, Oscar worthy (or Turkish equivalent).
