Istanbul is my favorite city in the world. With Covid-19 causing such a disruption, I have been forced to turn to NetFlix for entertainment during this quarantine.
I have watched "Resurrection: Ertugrul" and "The Protector". I enjoyed both.
I respect the work and dedication from the cast, crew and writers to produce this show. I am so impressed with the quality of writing, casting, acting and cinematography. The visuals are impressive.
This is a huge ensemble cast. Even harder to pull off than Game of Thrones. You do not have the special effects. Old fashion quality acting. You relied on solid directing and acting to produce one of the most unique shows I have ever seen. Yes...I get it is a little "campy", but that is the charm.
Each character was so well defined and maintained character. Only very minor breaks...that is impossible to do with a production of this caliber and pace. It had to be brutal some days.
The plot twists, new characters and seamless threading of the story lines was brilliant!!!!
I love the entire ensemble. Each actor/actress delivered their character perfectly. Each of the actors performed so well. I usually lean toward a character or two, but this cast gave you so many options. This show was one of those VERY rare collection of talent is unforgettable.
I do have to give one of the lead actresses a show out. Her portrayal of her primary and her disabled twin was remarkable - Oscar quality. But it was tasteful as well. Hard to do this.
Overall, I give this show a 10. I have never written a review on a topic like this. I actually created a login just to write this review to let the cast and crew know how much I appreciate a the high quality of their work and efforts.
All the best to each of you in this life.
