My Name Is Farah

So good to see Engin he is looking good as always looking very good ( except the chain uff) the actress, Demet is unfamiliar to me though I think is doing well ( I always want Tuba however going with this and so far not disappointed at all ! The story is intriguing, I find myself on the edge of my chair ready for next surprise ! I absolutely love hearing the Turkish dialogue as I've missed that and - I'm really looking forward to next shows- I think this story has a lot of avenues to move ford and I'm definitely intrigued!! I have not heard of another version of this story and I prefer to asses based on the actors I'm watching - the young boy is great 👍 I felt his pain being rejected out of fear best wishes to all in the stories ahead.

When a series leaves me wanting to keep watching the second episode right away then it's the right one! This is the case with Adim Farah! From the very first scenes he glued me to the screen with an ever increasing rhythm parallel to moments of great intimacy, all reinforced by the great skill and credibility of the leading actors such as Engin Akyurek (Tahir), Demet Ozdemir (Farah), FIrat Tanis (Mehmet) and little Rastin Paknahad (Kerim) who managed to get into the characters and the story so well that I reached the end of the episode, after 2 hours, without realizing it and exclaiming "already finished!!!" I don't know the story well, except in broad terms, of the series from which this remake is based, but I don't care much in the end because I liked what I saw last night, and a lot!

The cast, the screenplay, the direction, the editing, the photography and last but not least the soundtrack are perfect... in short, a great product.

I hope it's just the beginning of a long exciting journey... I rarely find series that leave me with that eagerness to see the next episode and in this case I can't wait for next Wednesday!

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.

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.

Currently, Demet is among the most talented, appreciated and successful actresses in Turkey...The serial film is of high quality, captivating, you don't have time to get bored, it deals with sensitive themes about the life of emigrants, illness, the mafia. The character Farah was predestined to Demet. It's a lesson about pain, fear, despair, but first of all about the courage, value and strength of a woman, of a mother who does anything to see her child healthy. The actors Demet and Engin complement each other, the harmony is great. The film deserves all the awards! Bravo!!!.....Good luck!!...
