Bambaska Biri

This review is based on the first 3 episodes - only 3 episodes released to-date. This series brings a fresh and intriguing plot to Turkish series. It's not just a murder investigation/police romance drama but it carries more as we see our male lead faces the horror of split personalities. Burak Deniz is exceptionally well casted to play Kerem/Dogan characters. You can feel his fear and exasperation as he stumbles to find out what's wrong with him and even admit he may be doing bad things. His family, friends and colleagues sense the changes in him too. Hande Erchel plays Leyla the prosecutor who is investigating the case and is drawn to Kerem. Somehow the weakness in this series rest with a few of Leyla's actions or non-actions in the plot - definitely something the scriptwriter must improve on. For example when she saw footprints that she suspects could be the person they are chasing (her team were nearby), she should have called for backup immediately instead of pursuing on her own. Adding to all the investigations and murders, we see that Kerem's and Leyla's fathers may be involved. The entire cast is well chosen and perform very well. I really hope the series continues to perform well and not sure the direction it will take as it really depends on what Kerem will do if he finds out he indeed has a split personality.

I am absolutely enamored with this series! It captivates me with its exceptional storyline, performances, undeniable chemistry between the lead characters. BAMBASKA BIRI truly represents the epitome of a remarkable adaptation, surpassing any expectations. Despite reading numerous comments drawing comparisons to other Turkish series, I find myself unable to identify any similarities because this show continuously surprises me, defying any predictions I attempt to make. The talent displayed by every actor is praiseworthy. It's as if the roles were tailor-made for them. Burak Deniz's performance is nothing short of incredible! Burak Deniz's performance is nothing short of incredible! Hande Ercel has an aura that makes you want to keep watching her and, Hande as Leyla is perfect and she plays her.

Truly the best Turkish series I have seen since Halka. The overall vibes, the wonderful cast, the music, the story and beautiful cinematography give a truly thrilling experience to the viewer. Hande Ercel has an aura that makes you want to keep watching her and after a 2 year break i'm glad she chose this project. Hande and Burak together create magic on-screen. Ethem Ozisik is a magician and each story is like solving a puzzle that leaves you in awe. There are clues and hints throughout the episodes and you feel the thrill when putting them together. I hope this show goes on for a decent time.

I can't believe we are watching an accurately told multiple personality disorder story on Turkish TV. The scenario, dialogues, actors (especially Hande Erçel as Public Prosecutor Leyla and Burak Deniz as both Kenan and Dogan) are brilliant. It is certainly the best Turkish TV show of this season. The angst, action and the depth of the characters are unbelievable. Ethem Özisik once again showed how good a writer he is. Neslihan Yesilyurt as director is also a great fit for the series. I hope it will last at least 30 episodes because this story deserves to be told. Well done everyone involved in the making!

This storyline is catchy from the word go. Two people meet and a unimaginable chain of events follow. The promise of being strangers can not be fulfilled and the characters are drawn to each other. Getting involved in solving a murder is just the tip of the iceberg. Impressive Istanbul scenery, mysterious and somehow romantic encounters, best leading performers. Do we really know who we are deep down? "Another love" is not your usual fairy tale but a real psychological thriller that will have you begging for more. If you are ready for a Turkish show that is out of the ordinary, you will not be disappointed.
