The Gift

I have noticed many have complained about the acting and dubbing. To solve the issue you should see the drama in its original Turkish audio because the English dubbing is really horrible and destroys the acting of such a good cast. Please see with original Turkish audio and respective subtitles.

I really liked the first two seasons but it went downhill very quickly after. Season 3 makes no sense, the plot is disjointed and some of the characters have been changed to unrecognisable from their original selves. This show could have been so much better.

By now you have noticed that most streaming series are strong out of the gate but lose their power with each new season. This one is typical --the first two seasons were a treat, almost hypnotic in their ability to hold audience attention. Season 3 is an afterthought, lacking in all the qualities which made the first two so appealing. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

Season one was very promising, however I cant really say the same for the second season... It really examined my patience to watch or quit..

This is one of my favourite Netflix series. It held my attention from the first episode to the last. The English subtitles were the only distraction. I like watching films in their native language to hear the actors' real voices, but I felt like I was missing out on dialogue because of the poor subtitling. The subtitles were often late, weren't on the screen long enough to read or didn't appear at all.
