Uzak Sehir

Fascinating characters, gripping storyline and exotic scenery makes this series addictive.

The character Alya is strong and brave, admirable and mature beyond her age. She is fearless and a protective, loving mother. Cihan is dedicated and respectful, works constantly at trying to please and protect his loved ones. I adore Kaya's unfaltering love for Zerrin and am touched by the impossible love story between Sahin and Nare. Even the "villains" are amazing to watch. Madame Sadakat may seem cruel and cold, but that actress is surely playing her role immaculately. She is chilling and beautiful at the same time. The character, Demir is nasty, but he seems to have a playful side that keeps him somehow enjoyable to watch. The side characters are also funny and endearing. Kadir is a riot, and has me rolling every time he is talking on the phone with his mouth full...or stealing food from the kitchen! It would be a crime not to mention the young actor who plays little Cihan (Deniz). I could listen to that cute guy all day. He is adorable. I also would like to mention my appreciation for the use of dialect. It is not cliché nor cartoonish, but just adds to the characters' believability.

All that was just about the characters. But the characters without a storyline is lost. The plot is gripping and often heart wrenching. The series is intense and moving yet often times comical and clever. From the first show, I was hooked. To think that this bright woman would be trapped in a land that was foreign to her, and at risk of losing her son is unimaginable. The obstacles she has endured is dumbfounding. What Cihan is going through, as he protects his family, is also crazy. It's a lot, but it makes the show exciting.

I am eagerly looking forward to each new episode.

It's a great series, even though I normally hate watching TV series/movies, it hooked me. Everyone tries to fulfill their roles in the best way possible and I think they show excellent acting. I can't give spoilers, but I definitely recommend you to watch it. I want to talk briefly about the subject. Ayla's husband Boran dies in a traffic accident. Ayla and her son Deniz Cihan come to Mardin with the funeral, but the Alboras do not allow them to return. If I explain the rest, it will be a spoiler. Be sure to watch it. A movie broadcast on Kanal D, distant city by the way. My favorite characters Ayla ,deniz cihan.

Title: Love That Heals Without Asking

Review:

In Uzak Sehir, the relationship between Aliya and Cihan is a masterclass in emotional storytelling.

Aliya, once guarded and emotionally distant, slowly begins to adapt to Cihan. Not because he demanded change, but because he quietly stayed. He did not try to break her walls; he simply waited until she let him in.

Cihan matched her silence and respected her pain. Through that silent understanding, love grew - not with drama, but with patience and healing.

This is not a love that fights pain, but a love that embraces it and transforms it.

True love does not conquer. It heals.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.

Uzak Sehir is just...WOW! I'm practically vibrating with anticipation for each new episode! Seriously, it's like I'm right there with them, feeling every single emotion. The visuals are absolutely stunning, but it's the raw, genuine emotions that truly grab you and pull you into their world.

And CihAl... swoon! Alya and Cihan? They're everything I could ever want in a couple! The chemistry between them is absolutely incredible! You can practically feel the sparks flying through the screen. Every stolen glance, every hesitant touch, every shared moment, it's just perfect! I'm completely and utterly invested in their journey! Please, writers, I'm begging you, give them a happy ending! They deserve it more than anything!

The whole cast is amazing! They bring such depth and authenticity to their roles, making every scene feel so real, like you're watching real life unfold before you. And the music? Oh my goodness, the music! It hits you right in the heart every time, perfectly amplifying the emotions on screen. The setting is portrayed with such care and attention to detail, it's truly beautiful and adds so much to the story.

I love how the show manages to balance the drama with those heartwarming, tender moments. It's not just about sadness and conflict! It's about hope, connection, and the beautiful, unexpected places where love can be found. I'm really hoping they avoid any unnecessary, dark, and contrived drama! CihAl deserves all the happiness in the world! Their love is too precious and pure to be ruined by cheap plot twists!

Honestly, Uzak Sehir is more than just a show; it's a complete and immersive experience. It makes you feel things deeply, it makes you believe in the power of love, and it leaves you longing for more. If you haven't watched it yet, you absolutely need to! You won't regret it for a single second! I'm completely and utterly obsessed, and I know you will be too! CihAl forever! They are the real deal.

I'm not a big fan of Turkish series, which I sometimes find too "cliché", and this one combines all the ingredients to keep people on the edge of their seats and hooked.

The characters of Alya and Cihan are endearing, and their explosive "relationship" makes us want more.

The dynamics of the other actors, in addition to their touching stories where we feel for each of them, not to mention the breathtaking scenery of Mardin, make this show a gem.

You'll love the slow burn between Cihan and Alya, you'll feel sad for the fate of the characters, you'll be caught up in the tribal conflicts, Sadakat and Ecmel's hatred, Demir's revenge, Mine's jealousies and, strangely, you'll love hating the antagonists... The episodes are fluid and the acting is good, so go for it, guys!
