    Cringe and cheap copy

    The trailer was already a sign for cringe actings. But I want to give chance for the serie, but no. You will just regret it. I couldn't stand even two episodes. The female main character is a cheap copy of other turkish shows Saygi (BluTV) and Fatma (Netflix). Pinar deniz overacting was so impulsive. Her gestures are not refering a psychopath, but more for mental deficiency. The script doesn't make any sense. Yasmin has not any motivation to be a killer. The given reason is just; She is a psychopath. Wow. All police stuff is also trash. The world of the show is not realistic. Lots of copied scenes of Harley Quinn and Joker.

    It's painful.

    One of the top 5 worst turkish mini series ever, in my book fever dream is the only thing that can be said. Embarrassing cast and even terrible acting bad effect bad dialog and editing. I'm really not usually this critical, but the script reads like a first draft of a high school screenwriting project. This is what happens when you have bad writing, directors who are out of their depth. Just ... wow The performances are some of the worst ever I don't know who told the actress she needs to stuck out her tongue every five minutes roll her eyes and laugh to convince us that she's a psycho cause that's definitely didn't work It looks like a snl joker skit although even the skit would've turned out way more realistic and convincing than whatever the hell pinar deniz's doing.

    The best in Disney originals

    I found my kind of thriller at last! This was the best in Disney originals.

    First episode was kind of a meeting. But at first scene Yasemin Derin grabs your attention. Very successful first scene. A psycho or not you understand Yasemin. I don't mean that you find her right or something but you get her. You get her way of thinking. Interactions with people are foreign to her. She samples each interaction and tries to understand what that means to her. I loved the scenes she tastes emotions. Yes she behaves them as if they are something to be tastes or tested.

    I loved Yasemin and Ahmet relationship. You really nailed it. Waiting for the next season.

    "Aktris" is exhilarating!

    The 1st season of Aktris was exhilarating! The story was very thrilling, always keeping you on the edge of your seat, making you second guess most of the things you think you understand and the cinematography and colors were very beautiful. I'm in awe of both Hakan Bonomo and Soner Caner for their work.

    Pinar Deniz as Yasemin Derin was exceptional! She forces you to almost empathize with a serial killer by making you understand her inability to grasp the concept of humanity. The journey from imitating human nature to being forced to experience it is a thrilling roller-coaster. She portrays masterfully Yasemin's constant inner war with her self about the human experience, control, morality, ethics and her struggle to differentiate good from evil. One of her finest works!

    The rest of the cast was also really great! Pinar and Uraz have great harmony and I loved how Yasemin was the one free of inhibitions, fully aware of her sexuality and the "Avci" in the relationship, whereas Fatih was reserved, always at war with his mind and heart.

    The duo that stole my heart though was Pinar and Tolga, Yasemin and Ahmet! Partners in crime and in life, they saved each other once and then they just never stopped being there for each other. They became family!

    The dynamic between Yasemin and Ekin was also beautifully constructed!

    Some other exquisite details were the art that was incorporated in the series to depict tales of the past and the music that added to the intensity and thrill of the experience!

    I just hope we'll soon be hearing the renewal news, because I need to experience Yasemin Derin's new adventures!

    What was that?!!

    A cheap copy of Killing Eve with unbearable hetero leads who have zero chemistry.

    The murder scenes are almost comical in their ridiculousness, The lead Actress Pinar Deniz with her mediocre acting skills had the nerve to literally Copy Jodie Comer's whole flow. Word for word. Bar for bar. Like???

    And she did it in the most terrible way i couldn't help but cringe watching her.

    Tolga tekin and Sebnem were the only good actors in the show the male lead meh he didn't have that many scenes to decide to be honest.

    The writer hakan bonmo needs to stop copying and recycling film and tv shows and to try and copy Killing Eve and in that horrendous boring way i'm really offended.
