Leyla and Mecnun

it is the best comedy TV series i have ever watched. It mirrors Turkish daily life and street culture. Relations between neighbours and their behaviors are natural. Main characters's brains work as a child.

Characters in this TV series are anti-hero. Even if all scenario is fantastic, it is like just usual and you don't think they piffle.

Actors are great and they love their characters.

Other characters are also created very smartly, they are really funny. İsmail Abi is the most popular one and he is pure. although everything in TV series was bad, I would watch just for İsmail Abi.

Everyone should watch from first episode to the last one. thanks for reading

It's been a long time since i became an IMDb user and for the first time i couldn't help myself but write a review! I personally volunteer to write English subtitles for this wonderful most amazing TV show I have ever seen in decades.

Coz this show has it all.. It's so cleverly written, acting is amazing and very well directed. It captures you and makes you wanna be a part of it just within a few episodes and you start feeling like these characters are your friends, their problems are your problems and their joys are yours as well. Each and every character has real dept and originality.

It's also unique in a way that it can catch the young audiences' attention like no Turkish series could ever catch before.

I'm thankful for all of the cast and crew for introducing this absurd comedy which is full of clever references, sarcasm and intelligence.

Very well done. Two thumbs up, what the hell i'll just trow in a standing ovation as well. Keep up the good work.

A lot better of the American Coupling TV series, quality close to British coupling. The best Turkish TV series ever made. I prefer watching this , instead of classical Nbc TV series like How I Met Your Mother. I hope the quality goes on. The series start with a flashback , where we see two babies, who are meant to be together forever , a classical oriental far/middle east story. The background is the Bosphorus and Istanbul.Mecnun is in her mid twenties , still trying to graduate from high school and Leyla is in university, living in a mansion.Arda is the ex boyfriend of Leyla, whose father is doing business with Leyla's father and Leyla's father is in huge depth. He tries to convince his daughter to marry to Arda.Because it is an absurd comedy, you can see Mecnun in space , sometimes Leyla on an island after a plane crash (Oceanic Airways :) ), sometimes a friend of them trying to survive 147 hours on a mountain :)... The series created a huge fan group and still groving .

This is a most interesting and exciting TV series in Turkey right now. Even if Ezgi Asaroglu left the show, still it didn't lose much from itself and it is still popular TV series in Turkey. The topic that it handles is more like absurd comedy. But it contains laugh, love, and tears. But it has lots of comedy that involves with Turkish language. So if you don't know Turkish, you probably miss the most of the jokes. Ali Atay, Koksal Engur, Cengiz Bozkurt, Mumtaz Taylan, Osman Sonant, Serkan Keskin are great actors, and they plays in cinema and theaters too. However, it has some directing troubles. Especially if Onur Unlu didn't direct the episode, some glitches may stand out in your eyes.

This TV-series have a great sense-of-hum-our.

Very smart jokes and excellent script also casting is well.

But some jokes may makes no-sense for non-Turkish people.

You should have some knowledge about recent Turkish news and some knowledge from the past.

As I said, jokes are quite smart so sometimes it is hard to understand also but when you understand you are having a great pleasure.

If you are planning to watch with sub-titles you should look for some information about this cases.

You can also watch this by satellite receiver from TRT (Turkish Radio and Television).

Also you can watch live from the web page of TRT.
