Who Were We Running From?

I liked the suspense but it starts becoming long and drawn out by episode 5. It becomes repetitive. In the beginning they say they have to lay low and not attract attention but in every single episode they do things that bring attention to themselves. This would have been better as a movie to get straight to the point instead of a series. There are too many fluff scenes and fluff dialogue. The cast is good looking and the location settings are beautiful. They're staying at 5 star hotels and blowing through money fast. Alot of their problems wouldn't have happened if they lived a simple life so I guess the story is not supposed to make sense or be logical. Still a good watch to pass time or before bed.

The clunky dialogue that other reviewers have mentioned may be due to poor translation from the Turkish, but there are too many scenarios where one is left thinking WTF?

The police who are chasing our heroes appear to be complete idiots that emote all the time, but perhaps Turkish police really speak and behave like that, I don't know. Otherwise, the main protagonists are believable and engaging, and the scenery is spectacular.

Nevertheless, I have so many questions about the plot- where did all the money come from and why aren't they more careful how it's spent, but I am only at episode five...

It's a slow burn, and by series end you have a greater understanding and appreciation for the nuances of the journey. If you are open to a beautiful movie with a simple yet layered storyline, complex yet closed characters and more time devoted to the trivial than the action, then this is a seven episodes for you. On the other hand if you're looking for action and answers, if you're the type of person who will pick holes in the plot and challenge the choices the characters make, then this isn't the series for you. The script is clumsy (I suspect that's the English translation). Recommend turning off the dubbing and use the subtitles.

7 very useless episodes! Total waste of time!

Very bad scenario !

The acting is okay, but the story is so simple and bad that we watched it until the end with the thought that we might be surprised if something happens. But the result is that they are alienated from watching movies! This means that Netflix now accepts any project without selection.

Even when playing games on the phone, time did not pass. I wish I had the opportunity to ask how my favorite actors accepted this project.

Thank you to every single employee for their hard work. I hope the team was able to work with pleasure during the shoot. I hope you have some fun.

The script is replete with naive and fanciful word flourishes that are meaningless fluff, and also with many, many instances of outlandish, improbable, illogical scenarios. For cheap emotional shortcuts, it leans heavily on Disney's Bambi, which is a pretty traumatic children's tale to start with.

So, it's mostly a crap production, with some beautiful looks, sometimes good acting, but featuring totally over-the-top, histrionic, ridiculous 'baddie' characters as antagonists. I don't think one is supposed to sympathize with a bunch of criminal acts, but it starts to seem justified, and then you just want every other person in this thing to get whacked asap, because almost everyone in the world they inhabit is an interfering moron.

Also, the screenplay/action doesn't match the dialog:

• When a character says, "I'm going to get changed," it hardly follows that the character then disappears for an extended shower that was never mentioned.

• A law enforcement officer angrily says some total nonsense, that 2 vacationer suspects are 'bucking the system', which is hardly what's been depicted, nor a crime in any way. Another one shouts out for people to "stop running," and no one at all is running anywhere.

• The biggest jackhole of the production tells a professional who exhibits nothing but normal competency to "stay calm." Of course, it's a woman in security that a male bro-dude in law enforcement is speaking to. Then, she gets browbeaten for one single event at one location, and without her prior knowledge of any crime, after a parade of thoroughly informed men have previously failed to prevent prior escapes from multiple locations. GTHO!
