'Shadow' is a hitman who was raised by, and now works for, Servet. One day he learns of his mentor's betrayal and goes on the run. With perfect timing a tailor, who owned a small shop, has died and his friends think Shadow is his long lost son. He moves into the shop and soon finds himself involved in the community's issues. Most serious of these being the pressure being put on them by a local crook hoping to develop the area.

I really enjoyed this series; for the most part it was a serious drama but there were a surprising number of comic moments. These comic moments are genuinely funny, often making me laugh out loud, and don't distract from more serious elements. There is some violence but it is neither excessively gory nor gratuitous. The cast does a fine job; most obviously Engin Öztürk, who plays 'Shadow'. The characters are nicely varied and fun to watch. The finale sets things up for another season; if it's made I'll certainly watch. Overall a really fun show which I'd certainly recommend.

These comments are based on watching the series in Turkish with English subtitles.

The script neither surprises you nor gives you exactly what you expected. At some point it made me laugh out loud, what else could I ask for anyway. Watch it, you won't regret it.

If you have free time, you can watch this. I watched in two days and I am curious about next season.

Very nice TV show. I really liked the action intertwined with dark humour and some hilarious scenes. The protagonist's road to a new life and redemption is also beautifully done. Engin Öztürk is simply amazing in this role and I'm sure this role will be a game changer for him. He gives so much charm and depth to Gölge. The supporting cast is also great, we have a comic relief duo, a cute love interest, several evil mafiosos etc.

This is the perfect blend of crime, drama with a pinch of absurd comedy. Impressive charactherisation and progress, all the changes are not unobtrusive and supported by their past. Full of twists which none to fool the audience. Suprise jokes in between some of the most serious scenes can be excused (even they are great) due to fact that writer is the creator of some highly acclaimed absurd comedy shows and movies. Crime and its environment/setup not detailed well one can easily spot unrealistic scenes but focus is not the crime itself. This tale is about humans which do not have any control over it. Well deserves to be called the best in its genre.
