    The Legend Series Behzat Ç.

    Through this series I liked Ankara. Behzat Ç is a rough, violent and morally ambiguous police officer who is the head of the homicide department in Ankara. Behzat Ç and his team usually work together with the public prosecutor Esra, who later becomes his love interest. I wish though that all police officers.

    A series of very sincere. All the characters in the series so good. They complement each other. Array doing different from other series. 'La' word stuck in my mouth. Unfortunately, the series it was finished. I wish I had not been this way. Very more should be done like this series. It became one of the series will not be forgotten. So at least for me... 10/10

    Best Series Ever

    Although this series takes a whole chunk of your life since each of the 97 or so episodes is between 1.5 to 2 hours long, you will enjoy watching it much more than doing anything else in the same amount of time. The characters are very well rounded and the acting is brilliant. The actor who plays Behzat really lives the role. He is totally believable and although I could have lived without every second word being an F word (and very creatively used F words to boot!), the bad language did suit the characters' characters. The story line was very well crafted with unexpected twists. Two of the writers' triumphs were the characters of Bashgat Memdez (spelling undoubtedly wrong) and the psychopathic Ercüment Çözer. I just loved the humorous lines they were given as they killed right, left and centre. Another favourite of mine was Behzat's brother, Sevket. He was annoying in a very entertaining way. Harum was more difficult to handle but well you can't choose your co-workers I suppose. There was only one ridiculous episode and that was a dream sequence which really was a waste of time, but the rest of the series was absolutely first class and if they brought out another series I'd be happy to spend another 200 hours watching it!

    I am from the US and loved the Series

    Saw this on NETFLIX. Gave me a great view on what Turkish life and customs and political issues . I was sad to see it end at 96 episodes as I felt like I was loosing friends. I know they are only TV characters, but still I wonder what happened to them, how their lives went. That is what a great TV series should do it should make you feel the characters are real and care about them.

    OMG

    Finally it comes back. Thanks to blutv, (it's kinda Turkish Netflix) we'll meet with our captain on July 2019. I've missed all characters so much. They're like my family. Every Turkish boy had crush on Sule while serie was on screen.

    A must-see production.

    The best part of the series is that it tells the whole story with all its naturalness.The best example of how to deal with American TV series with a simple budget.
