Kizil Goncalar

Edit: Please, please don't let us wait too long for season 2! This is an absolutely brilliant series. My goodness. Who is Hollywood...they can only dream of filming such a brilliant series! I wish I could give this series more than a 10 star rating.

Wow, I didn't know what to expect from this series but am I stunned!

This series is beautifully written and casted. This series draws the viewer into this story and grips the attention from beginning to end. I can't wait for the next episode.

As a foreign viewer, who doesn't understand the religion and differences, I find this series so interesting. Regardless of belief system, there are good and bad characters everywhere.

From a child-bride to a blossoming love, while keeping respect and integrity. In contrast, the mother was also a child-bride but experienced the opposite as her daughter, in an abusive relationship and she would do anything to prevent her daughter from suffering a similar fate. She tries her utmost, with the help of a psychologist to get her genius daughter to rather study, but the restriction in the religion won't allow it. And they find themselves in life-threatening situations regularly. But all plans fail and it's as if fate is keeping her and her husband together.

Every week, the series keeps revealing different layers.

Really a series worth watching. Hope it continues for many more episodes!

In the world of cliche and repetitive Turkish dizis,this series is an exception. The way that the storyline is woven and the events are designed makes you hooked all the time.

What I liked most is the dialogue and the magnificent way the senarist is trying to deliver the ideas without making the viewer feel like they are taking a lesson.

The focus onto details and the acting is something else! Every single person from the cast lives their role in a way that you forget that you are watching a series and feel like it's a real life experience. Congrats to both Mina and Mert on the huge success!

Kizil Goncalar is an incredibly well made and touching series that brings writers 's life story to the screen. The storyline beautifully explores his struggles, love for people, and dedication to justice while incorporating elements of philosophy and spirituality. It also portrays the fight against both conservative and radical ideologies, making it one of the best Turkish shows I have watched seen. Some scenes are so moving and real that I watched them twice,a truly heartfelt experience.

This is a must-watch series that requires deep concentration to fully appreciate its depth. I enjoyed every bit of it, from the powerful storytelling to the rich themes of love, philosophy, and social justice.

I got hooked to this series very early on and did not get bored for a second during the philosophical exchanges for instance between Cuneyd (Mert Yazicioglu) and his psychiatrist, Levent (Ozcan Deniz) or the religious exchanges between Cuneyd and his uncle Sadi Hudayi (Erkan Avci). I appreciated the wonderful mother-daughter relationship between Meriem (Ozgu Namal) and Zeynep (Mina Demirtas), and also the touching relationship between Zeynep and Mira Alkanli (Esma Yilmaz), who is the same age, and whose goofiness added a light touch to the generally heavy atmosphere. I did not expect to root for Zeynep and Cuneyd but they turned out to be real soulmates who understood each other so well. A compelling element was also the relationship between the physics professor, Suave Alkanli (Serif Erol) and Zeynep. Secondary characters such as Birgul and Arif were charming too. I thought some of the women were a bit caricatural (especially Sadi's wife and daughter), and Hande Elkanli as a journalist was not very convincing but on the whole, the series was quite riveting and hope the second season will be as compelling.

Beautiful portrayal of Sadi H character. Real &relatable characters portrayal. Wonderful work Sadi , Hasna , Fayza. You made the episode very special

Well written script story line. Woud love to see it to develop more muldimensionaly ... exploring wider issues , moving from what seems to be a single focus on the equality of women in society. And perhaps discussing the dynamic between other faiths. With the possible impact on communities. Misconceptions of faith in current culture and if known fair portrayal of misconceptions within it self. Love the philosophical discussion between Levent and Junaid. Please bring more.
