L'Attrice

I have rarely been this disappointed by a show. While the trailer seems to promise a Turkish version of Killing Eve mixed with Sunset Boulevard, it barely lives up to its own expectations.

The trailer sets up a tempting story straight out of female rage essays on an actress who by night becomes a vigilante. The mix of American Psycho like vibes and Hollywood-y feels was way too good to pass on. I was hooked and waited upon it for months.

What is delivered is a very boring plotline, guided by even bleaker subplots, disappointing acting performances and a finale that left me saying "thank god it's over"...

The trailer was already a sign for cringe actings. But I want to give chance for the serie, but no. You will just regret it. I couldn't stand even two episodes. The female main character is a cheap copy of other turkish shows Saygi (BluTV) and Fatma (Netflix). Pinar deniz overacting was so impulsive. Her gestures are not refering a psychopath, but more for mental deficiency. The script doesn't make any sense. Yasmin has not any motivation to be a killer. The given reason is just; She is a psychopath. Wow. All police stuff is also trash. The world of the show is not realistic. Lots of copied scenes of Harley Quinn and Joker.

I found my kind of thriller at last! This was the best in Disney originals.

First episode was kind of a meeting. But at first scene Yasemin Derin grabs your attention. Very successful first scene. A psycho or not you understand Yasemin. I don't mean that you find her right or something but you get her. You get her way of thinking. Interactions with people are foreign to her. She samples each interaction and tries to understand what that means to her. I loved the scenes she tastes emotions. Yes she behaves them as if they are something to be tastes or tested.

I loved Yasemin and Ahmet relationship. You really nailed it. Waiting for the next season.

The 1st season of Aktris was exhilarating! The story was very thrilling, always keeping you on the edge of your seat, making you second guess most of the things you think you understand and the cinematography and colors were very beautiful. I'm in awe of both Hakan Bonomo and Soner Caner for their work.

Pinar Deniz as Yasemin Derin was exceptional! She forces you to almost empathize with a serial killer by making you understand her inability to grasp the concept of humanity. The journey from imitating human nature to being forced to experience it is a thrilling roller-coaster. She portrays masterfully Yasemin's constant inner war with her self about the human experience, control, morality, ethics and her struggle to differentiate good from evil. One of her finest works!

The rest of the cast was also really great! Pinar and Uraz have great harmony and I loved how Yasemin was the one free of inhibitions, fully aware of her sexuality and the "Avci" in the relationship, whereas Fatih was reserved, always at war with his mind and heart.

The duo that stole my heart though was Pinar and Tolga, Yasemin and Ahmet! Partners in crime and in life, they saved each other once and then they just never stopped being there for each other. They became family!

The dynamic between Yasemin and Ekin was also beautifully constructed!

Some other exquisite details were the art that was incorporated in the series to depict tales of the past and the music that added to the intensity and thrill of the experience!

I just hope we'll soon be hearing the renewal news, because I need to experience Yasemin Derin's new adventures!

With all due respect to the "effort" in the first episode when the actress gets in the car and starts to squint her eyes tongue's out doing silly cringe expressions and keeps doing this all the show dose she have Tourette syndrome? She got a fly up in her nose and she's trying to get her out? Can someone explain?

I'm willing to take any explanation other than she's trying to play a psychopath character cause there's no way any director in the world would see this and go yes that's ok this is good portrayal of a psychopath character.

I'm sorry the lead playing Yasmin is a bad actress i couldn't keep watching.
