Who Were We Running From?

It's a slow burn, and by series end you have a greater understanding and appreciation for the nuances of the journey. If you are open to a beautiful movie with a simple yet layered storyline, complex yet closed characters and more time devoted to the trivial than the action, then this is a seven episodes for you. On the other hand if you're looking for action and answers, if you're the type of person who will pick holes in the plot and challenge the choices the characters make, then this isn't the series for you. The script is clumsy (I suspect that's the English translation). Recommend turning off the dubbing and use the subtitles.

The clunky dialogue that other reviewers have mentioned may be due to poor translation from the Turkish, but there are too many scenarios where one is left thinking WTF?

The police who are chasing our heroes appear to be complete idiots that emote all the time, but perhaps Turkish police really speak and behave like that, I don't know. Otherwise, the main protagonists are believable and engaging, and the scenery is spectacular.

Nevertheless, I have so many questions about the plot- where did all the money come from and why aren't they more careful how it's spent, but I am only at episode five...

The bizarre relationship between mom and daughter kept me watching. It was the strangest combo. The daughter was super strange. Seriously naive. The mom was a rich lunatic. I know someone like that, so it was fascinating to see how they tossed money around. The chase was crazy. The mom thinking someone wants her daughter...well she was right. The dad was trifling. Both women are gorgeous. I also like how it was filmed with the interviews and such. I do have to say, after the 2nd episode, I kept thinking is every other episode going to be similar with them checking in a hotel and blah blah blah. It was. But then the chase started which made it more interesting. I wanted the girl to break free and say mama is crazy, but she didn't, she was naive for too long. I'm assuming if they do a season 2, she'll find her dad. What a bizarre relationship show, but oh so true with some rich families. Sad, but true.

Welcome to all the most fantastic hotels in Turkey 🇹🇷 My name is Mr. X and I'll be your guide tonight..

Beautiful scenery, polished and well presented but in lack of substance and surprise! Turn off the language and just watch in silence is more exciting than listening to the mother & Bambi presenting/talking like robot's to each other!

It could have been sooo amazing if they just used the natural ingredients from a human being like really work for the script but failed!

I love to see that the production changes the voice over to English and hires really professional actors and saves it a little bit ...

This show tries SO hard to convince you of the narrative, but fails miserably. The "child" actress - along with the obnoxious elevator ladies - are the worst. The "mother" lacks dimension and sports the same expression & attitude throughout the whole 1st episode (yes, I barely watched one. It's that bad).

The mother & daughter duo were supposed to be mysterious and intriguing, making you question them and their choices.

However they are not the LEAST bit interesting. They are very bland & forgettable - and also annoying and weird. Where everyone's curiousity around them comes from, is really the only mystery in this show.

It is odd, and doesn't even make an effort to draw you in at all. The show just tries to throw the story in your face, without any background of sorts.

Don't waste your time. Would give 0 stars, but you have to give at least 1 sooo ..
