My Name Is Farah

I have not seen the original but this seems to be a very promising show. Gripping story, no histrionics so far, great acting by Engin Akyurek, Demet and supporting cast. Good buildup and will definitely watch the series. I like the pace at which the characters were introduced and how their backgrounds will now unfold giving us a glimpse into their past. Excited!

Hope it stays as gripping as the buildup and does not drag unnecessarily which tends to be the case with most shows.

I am very disappointed by the earlier reviews and the conclusions sometimes viewers draw based on their past biases.

Demet is really very good, in all genres, she has shown great versatility, Engin is also really great talent, both put close together create a masterpiece, those who comment badly are because they are unhappy and envious of an objectively perfect work, they deserve so much success. The script, the music, the cast, have enormous potential, they certainly deserve a lot, the commitment is there and they will certainly achieve the success they deserve. Rastin is also really good for his age, he is so adorable in all the scenes, both the ones with Farah and the ones with Tahir, I wish much success to this little star too.

The series will not be a copy of American or Argentinian series. It will have common elements, but it will be a completely different story. The first episode was excellent. The main theme is taken to another level, one that neither the Americans nor the Argentinians have reached in their versions. A strong cast, and a very well developed script. Engin Akyurek and Demet Ozdemir have an electrifying harmony. Little Rastin Paknahad is far beyond what we have seen in previous versions. It is a great injustice to say that this series is a copy of a version previously made by others...only if you are too stupid to admit it. Watch it and you won't regret it!

This series is so beautiful. Every time you feel like you're watching a finished film. Direction, editing, photography, music are made to keep the viewer glued to the screen. The story is very interesting, the suspense always high. Special mention for Demet who plays Farah, this actress is a real talent, she passes without difficulty from the comic genre to the dramatic without difficulty. Her performance is so natural. Accompanied by the great Engin, award-winning actor who tries his hand at a new but absolutely spot on role. The Rastin, Kerimsah, is a baby so talented and every actor is good.

Season 2 (boring and non-sense) -- 2/10.

Writers are confused about what scenario to write. They just write scenario for 2+ hours waste of time. Simply no interesting story to tell in season 2. Very liked actors, but very poor story, it lacks substance!

Season 1 -- 8/10 Forget about the series 'The Cleaning Lady' and don't compare to it when writing reviews. It's like comparing apples and oranges. You got to pretend you have not seen series 'The Cleaning Lady' otherwise you may not like the series 'Adim Farah.'

Good combination of actors -- Demet, Engin, and Firat. Demet does it again with her real superb acting no matter what role she plays. Engin and Firat acting are wonderful and real especially Firat. The series at times is exciting and suspenseful.
