    I liked it

    The poster attracted me to watch it, I thought it was horror but when I watched it appeared that it is tooo way far from ghosts, lol.

    I watched it according the poster and I didn't watch the trailer so, I didn't know what it is about exactly, but when I watched it liked it so much.

    After 30 minutes of the first episode I said what is it about and it looks boring, but the end of the episode made me excited to watch the second one and the second one attracted me to watch the third episode then I said, it looks nice.

    I wanted to finish the whole 8 episodes in 1 day but, I didn't have time because of my work.

    At the end what I want to say is that I am so excited to see second season.

    Notice: ignore the bad reviews and bad comments it is fantasy drama love story.

    You will love the actors, the cinematography and the actor's as**.

    There is drama, romance, suspense, twist and thriller moments.

    It looks like twilight only this one with snakes.

    Don't believe the bad reviews.

    I honestly don't get the bad reviews, it is a decent and well acted show. The atmoshpere is mystic and absorbing, the story is interesting,and all in all I have enjoyed all three episodes so far.

    Younger audiences like fast paced and action filled thrillers,which is not the case here, this is a slow burner,but a good one.

    Shahmaran is actually a mystic figure in the center of an epic tale. If you know about the tale, most of the the mysterious and weird looking pieces come together right from the start, and it is a much more enjoyable story for the viewer.

    By the way, it is not fair to rate so low on a show, when you don't know what to look for when rating.

    Great original sound design and scoring!

    I was totally engrossed in this Turkish series. For me what made it so interesting and drew me in was the instrumentation (not the typical digital crap) used by the composers. Very few films score to the action as this did. That is ambitious and thoughtful attention to detail. Great example of the difference music can make to the overall impact of the storyline. The overall ambient sound work was really excellent, too. It made me realize how much that is lacking in most series and films. Even big budget films. Hollywood can definitely take some cues from this. So A+ to the sound design people and composers and musicians!

    A beautiful made series

    I watched this series in two days and I really enjoyed the story. The scenery and actors. Beautiful mythical story which I never heard of before. Just like Atiye, a story what makes you think about women and history.

    The story is about coming to terms with the past, accepting destiny. Getting to know your own heritage and embracing your own.

    It is also about how to deal with mental illness and trauma, family positions, culture and folklore.

    I loved the costume designs of the actors as and the way the houses were decorated.

    Thank you, the developers, for getting me aqainted with this part of Turkey and the myth of Sahmaran.

    One star is not fair

    Ok it is not a great show but I don't understand why the people rate as one star. Sounds not fair. It seems that a bunch of people come together and try to reduce the rate of the show. It is contain 8 episodes and each of takes approximately 50 minutes. I watched in two days without get bored. It ends like the second season will publish that was little annoying and that was the reason I rated 6 instead of 7.

    So, the show was average but Serenay Sarikaya had a great performance.she looks gorgeous, stunning and wonderful in the show and it was nice to see her here. I missed to see her performance.
