Yakamoz S-245

I give it 6 because despite the ridiculous characters, this series still urge my curiosity and make me watch it till the end.

The series don't really have a meaningful new story (since we already grasp the story about the sun and everything from Into The Night). I just finished it and I can't recall a meaningful conflict, all I remember is the stupidity of the characters and unnecessary arguments here and there. We definitely can understand that everyone who's stuck in such apocalyptic situation won't be able to think clearly, but dang, the characters refused to listen to each other and it pissed me off, a lot. I tried to be neutral but i have to admit on the last several episodes, the scientist group are getting more annoying. For those who hates the submarines group in the first few episode and drop the show, i advice you to try finish the show and see how messed up the scientist group is. They're supposed to be smart but they refused to listen to other possibilities just because of what? Loyalty? They're too naive. It's okay to have several people in the group being that dumb, but the whole group? Come on. They also blamed everything on the submarine groups while most of "bad thing" that happened were mostly at their fault. Some people in the submarines group are annoying too, but at least they still have some logical people there, who's willing to listen to others.

So yeah, several "accidents" in the story can be solved, if only the scientist and the submarines willing to communicate with each others. But then again, we won't have stories if all of them are that smart. And maybe that's what the writers want? To make us frustrated? If that's the purpose, then good job on that.

The only think that push me to finish this was my curiosity, will the characters stay stubborn till the end, or there will be some character development? The answer lies in the last 20 minutes lmao. That's when they realised their stupidity, and that's when we get a glimpse of "new plot" for the next season/sequel. On the next sequel (which I guess the casts will be the mix between Yakamoz casts and Into The Night casts) i guess they'll finally start to figured things out together in more reasonable way.

I had watched INTO THE NIGHT over a year ago and tho it wasn't the greatest sci-fi story it moved at a rapid pace and was not boring. I kinda enjoy End-of the World genre flicks if they're somewhat original in nature, or at least trying to be.

Anyway, that's the reason I enjoyed INTO THE NIGHT and kept the title in the back of my mind & waited for another season.

That's also the reason I tried out YAKAMOZ S-245. It was actually clever the way it was spliced together with INTO THE NIGHT but I didn't realize the connection until the submarine headed to the seed storage bunker in Norway.

So, I'm more intrigued now, and waiting for the next installment in the series from... whatever countries survivors shows up next.

The biggest plus, for me anyway, with Netflix, is the ability to watch more foreign movies. The Hollywood stuff is almost all woke crap or superhero sequels to infinity and beyond.

The best action flick I've seen on Netflix is a French crime drama called LOST BULLET. The best horror series I've seen is KINGDOM, from Korea. A lot of good stuff from Korea.

I could go on but the point I'm making is that the US of A studios are not doing it for me anymore. A lot of other people feel the same way I'm sure. Just look at the world $$$ market.

I'd rather watch a 2nd or 3rd world young-gun studio effort with some hungry talent on both sides of the camera then a tired-ass, re-cycled Hollywood snooze-fest.

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.

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.

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.
