The Club

It may not be the most accurate historical reproduction of 1950s Instanbul, but this show entertains, and it does it well.

The story is original, the cast is exceptionally good, and everything just works. There are just a few things that I wished worked better: some plot points, some of the storytelling, and more contextualisation of the Club and its music.

All in all, very good.

Kulup aka The Club is an amazing all star cast new Turkish show on Netflix set in the 1950s of Istanbul. It's very well acted, good script, good storyline. Salih Bademici can SING! I was blown away by his voice, amazing! It's a very nice story of a mother trying to connect with her daughter after 17 years after being in prison.

I think people should watch the show with an open mind and just enjoy the show, the story, and the breath taking performances from the actors and actresses. Ignore the negative reviews.

Everyone thought he was a great actor; Salih Bademci. He became a giant with his acting. He has displayed such a strong acting that everyone who watches it is almost fascinated and you want to watch it again and again.

Netflix is helping to redine Turkish tv series and cinema. Bringing great scripts, hi quality production and good performances for the world to enjoy. But most of all daring to push beyond the usual Turkish soap operas (dizis). The Club is superb in every way. Don't miss it.

As a Jewish and Israeli woman I would like to thank the producers of this serie for what they brought. Except for making a quality drama they really tried to show history through the story. They didn't paint any of the sides in unneeded colors. Just kept it real.

I remember a Jewish man who grew up in Turkey telling me how he missed it, how great it was to live there and how close were the relationships he had with Muslims there, but because of the political situation his Muslim friends used to tell him it would be better for him to convert to Islam, then he won't have the problems he had. He said many people were hiding their religious symbols in order not to get in trouble. I could sense his words through the serie.

Thanks again.
