In the first season, although the quality of acting and shooting is not good, it is very successful in story and fiction. It's really interesting. Even though the budget (20k TL for each season) is so low, it's surprising that such a good job is out. You should definitely give it a chance.
This is the living proof of what some like-minded creative people can achieve when they set their goals rights. The first season was made by literally selling videos for fractions of a dollar, the 2nd with donations and the 3rd with minimal sponsorship. The crew did not even have rvs, they camped in tents, then created this amazing series.
I'm not even going to mention the nominations and awards it took.
The dystopian nature of the show is like no other, the story and scores compliment every element perfectly.
The accessibility in youtube at 4k res makes it almost too good to be true
You won't regret it.

This show is the greatest Turkish series I have ever seen the only problem about serie is effects blood or animation effects are weak but thats all
I have been following Taha, and I really like what he did productions. When I watching the Hile, I knew how he did this production without more money. The main theme of the Hile is very original and story is well fluent. I definetly suggest it.

Give him Hollywood production money then sit and watch how series can be done perfectly.
Its a enjoyable mini turkish series, its better from many turkish series on tv even though its low budget. Acting is fine and episodes are fluent, you dont get bored while watching them. I am trying to improve my turkish and i enjoyed watching this show.

They shots this with very limited budget. They are not professionals. But well done its nice. So sometimes can be little boring but overall worth to watch.

Although the troubled processes of money have been circumvented and taken at very small prices, it has set our heart as a great series.

**I just watched first season.
Firstly, I congratulations to Taha Ulukaya for story and directing but his acting is not enough for leading role. If we look as a whole to The Cheat, thats a good story and good directing but dialogues are not good, some actors and actress are not enough for this serie. Also I liked some actors like Sezer Soykok and Murat Sen. I watched them first time and I like their actings.
I know thats serie has low-budget but actings are not direct related with money. For example they have good actors like Sezer Soykok and Murat Sen but Taha Ulukaya is in leading role. I think that could be better.

Although the series's budget is less (20000k for first season) the story is interesting and engrossing. The players are not professional but they are succesesfull. I think the series include too swear. It is a little repulsive

The time i watched first season i thought that visual arts and other things except story and fiction were bad but when i heard the budget of The Cheat i realized that Taha Ulukaya created something adorable!. Their budget was 20.000 Turkish Liras and that amount is less than 10.000 dollars. No one can create an awesome series with that amount of money. In addition to theese they improved everything they did. I can sincerely say that everyone should watch The Cheat. Congratz! to Taha Ulukaya and all of the cast.
It is a fluent and very successful production in editing. Considering the budget, it has a quality story. I wish Fox continued work.
Quality is progressively increasing
My favourite point of "The cheat" was 2 steps from hell style epic scores
Absolutely thriling !
After the ridiculous TV series shot in Turkey, I didn't want to watch any Turkish TV series, but I gave it a chance to follow Taha-in youtube channel and he did a great job.

Taha is a master director. he knows his job well. Since he was making a series on digital media, he skillfully placed all the elements that would attract the attention of the audience. In my opinion, it is the best among the internet series. congratulations👏👏👏
